Manchester City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread.

[Villa Lew]

Even at 2 nil always thought that was gonna happen, absolutely gutted.

[Rudy65]

Was only listening on radio but commentator was suggesting our shape went to shit when Nakamba came on. Accurate?

We go again. Enjoy the summer all!

Bang on. Phil was knackered but not sure Marvellous was the answer

[Clark W Griswold]

Once the first went in you just knew it. Soft as shite.
Did play quite well up to that point though.

[Proposition Joe]

That’s why you won’t be managing Liverpool any time soon Steve.
Pathetic.

I won't lose any sleep when we sack him!

Gerrard had nothing to do with it. With 15mins to go, the AVFC badge on the players' shirts suddenly started to glow and exert its magical powers...

[rob_bridge]

Our midfield is so poor.

McGinn and Luiz, and that Nakamba.

Three very limited, very shit football players. All.unfit, too few assists and goals.

Anyway, ranting over.

Up the Villa! Here's to a better.one next season!

Why doesn't he modify the system until he gets his 'own' players. Truth is he can't and he has no planB up to this point at least.

[Bobby Boy]

How can you be 2-0 up twice in one season and lose?

That should happen once in 10 years.

Bye Bye Luiz. Bye bye Traore. And the other mediocrities that are heading off to pasture.

Come on then Gerard, let's see how ruthless you really are....

[AlwaysVilla]

Apparently we had a player called Morgan Sanson on the bench today. He was one valued at 30 million by Marseille but no ones ever see  him play.....no doubt he will go on to have  career like Jordan Vertout

[The Edge]

This isn't normal. It's been like this for 20 years or something now, ever since that Cup game against Man Utd where we blew a 2-0 lead. Does anyone else collapse so regularly from these positions? There's something in the club at this stage, spines of sponge for decades now.

Bang on, that was the start of it

Using that analogy, it would have started a month beforehand when we went 2 nil up at Arsenal at their place and then lost 3-2.

Everyone having a go at Gerrard should remember that if he had a decent striker to select we would have got at least 2 more goals today. Ollies never going to be a top striker. He totally lacks any composure in the box. Probably our most frustrating player in years for me.

[Sexual Ealing]

This manager is no good.

It was a sensible change. Truth is even at 2-0, once they got one we were in trouble. Their intensity went up several notches and we couldn’t handle it. Most teams would have struggled.

Overall the performance was way beyond what I expected. We can’t keep the ball well enough and that is the number one priority to address next season.

[Small Rodent]

We didn’t collapse.

They needed to win and have the mentality and players to attack tired players.

That is all.

Having a two goal lead with 14 minutes to go and conceding three is a collapse.

Well, yes….but in the context of what was at stake the opposition did what was needed.

I’m far more annoyed about similar events in mid-season games.

[astonvilla82]

Just seen the City goals,piss poor defending

[rob_bridge]

Just viewed table. Finishing below Leicester and those above is reasonable. Finishing below the next 5 is most certainly not.

why keep him on the pitch then?

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

it was inevitable. I remember driving to manchester in 2013 thinking we would be the party poopers, we were one down after about 3 mins. However at least we gave them a bloody nose this time.

the subs done us.
