Aston Villa v Man City Match Thread

Foden is class.

[Goldenballs]

I'd take the draw now.

[Risso]

If we lose this it痴 16 points from 16 games. Nearly half a season of relegation form.

I fully expect them to dominate even with ten men. We're not very good in possession at all.

I agree, that pass Doug did just before the second summed it up.

He gets the ball on the edge of the box, looks up to see Cash and makes it obvious he's going to pass towards him. Cash just stands and waits for the ball to come to him and Zinchenko just nips in and wins the free kick on edge of the box.

Man. City just levels above, instant first time passing and players moving into the space where they know where the ball is going. Not just 100ms worth of talent but relentlessly drilled on the training pitch.

Worth remembering that Leeds beat these when down to ten men themselves so not impossible I suppose. Thing is though they're the one team that are as well drilled as Man City and with a clearly defined style. I just can't see what our style is supposed to be these days.

It doesn't help that Jack is out

Losing a player like that will obviously hurt but we've had long enough to try to adapt. We're so reliant on one player it's becoming a bit embarrassing.

That said we've started fairly well this half.

[cdbearsfan]

Idiotic. That's probably that.

[Risso]

You fucking idiot Cash.

Oh Cash. You dick.

[Bad English]

Fucking hell Cash! No need.

[jwarry]

What a fucking idiot

[AV82EC]

Nakamba is useless. What the fuck is Cash doing, clown.

[Goldenballs]

What a brain dead idiot, absolute clown.

[baddowvillans]

Brainless.  We have been looking so much better this half.  All wasted now

[enigma]

Fucking hell
