Man Citeh XIV 2 v Aston Villa 0 Post Match Thread.

[Flamingo Lane]

Would love to know what Smith actually said. We could get t-shirts made up.

He certainly didn't hold back, even after the first yellow!

Apparently he said "you fcuking prick" to Moss. Not sure if it is was before or after the sending off.

That looked to be after the sending off!  Don't know what it was before.

Both Owen and ex Utd guy in the studio saying,no way
Dermot the call in ref wringing his hands and saying correct but bad decision.
Fuck Manchester and their Refs.
We rode our luck and understandibly did not look on top of our game.
2nd to too many balls
What the fuck, lets do Brucie on Sataday

We look a side capable of finishing 8th-6th. We look fucming miles better than Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea and will be above them come Saturday evening.

Right side of defence a problem? What games do you watch. Cash was superb, as was Targett.

Almost every attack came down our right side, change your spectacles. Cash was torn a new one

Give over! Cash, Taggart, Konsa and Mings were incredible tonight. What game your watching I have no idea.

Not having that penalty. The ball was smashed at him. I thought they'd made allowances for that again?

Dean Smith: “I thought they would go over to the VAR screen. I saw the incident and saw it was kicking off, so I asked the fourth officials did they get juggling balls for Christmas.”

Walton was obviously spoken to by the refs association to make such an about turn. Offside is about seeking to gain an advantage and that's what the offside player did.

Does the goal happen if Rodri is not stood miles off side. No.

Cash had no excuse for his hand being up that high. Our lads didn't seem to complain much either.

Would Klopp/Pep/Frank/Jose have been sent off for berating the ref? I don’t think so.

Put a shout out on Twitter to get a graphic made up. Deano standing in the technical area while Charlie Cairoli unicycles past with some balls in the air.

Very entertaining game to watch and thought we played well, all things considered. So refreshing to see a Villa side try and take the game to these so called ‘big six’ sides rather than try and park the bus.

This.  The defending was A++.  And we tried to play out at ever opportunity.   But a case of not keeping the ball for long enough.  Maybe in hindsight Elmo might have been a better option that Bert for the first half at least.

Despite the obvious offside goal, Citeh were easily the best team we have faced this season. 

No shame.

Onwards.  Nothing is decided in Jan.

If it’s the “correct” decision then the rules are wrong.

Because Traore will not help out. How many times does he amble back leaving Cash to deal with double ups.

Traore can be great at times but he's a luxury also who costs us...

Reckon it's time to replace Mings.  Regardless of the offside decision, it was yet another dithering on the ball fuck up when he should have just cleared it no messing, like Rio Ferdinand said.   England international my arse.
