Manchester City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread.

[Steve67]

Roy Keane said 'there is a softness to this Villa side, that's why they've lost so many games'.  So very, very true.

[Bobby Boy]

Bang on. We're the new QPR.

Note for next season. We are a team just outside the relegation places. Pretty crap

[DB]

To be 2-0 up with less than 15mins left, we shoud have seen that game out. My worry is SG doesn't have any other way of playing or game management.

[pauliewalnuts]

This team needs a whole new spine.

[postal]

ManCity and Liverpool are the best teams.
But 2 nil up should be able to hold it together when whatever team you are playing and that grit / fight needs to be ingrained to us next season.
And we should have found a way around Burnley last game.

Learn and rebuild wisely.

The narrative forever will be how we collapsed to help win Man City the title. Those three goals to come back and win will be played for all of us to see over and over. We will know what QPR fans feel like every time they play “that goal” by Aguero.

It is the new 'QPR clip' featuring us that makes me want to jump off a fucking bridge.

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

Sad to say Roy Keane said it all. Villa are soft which is why we lose games like that. If there is one thing Gerrard could have brought to us its a winning mentality. He can't even do that. Gone by Xmas hopefully

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

It was way before that. We've always been mentally weak since the prem wad forned. Losing to Oldham at home when we could have won the league in 92/93, consistently losing 3-0 to Liverpool. Just a laughing stock really, Keane said as much about our standards when he was here. Until this is sorted (I think it's too late anyway) then we'll always be plucky old villa. Forget spending money and DCMs thus is the issue, winning mentality.

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.

[Small Rodent]

We didn’t collapse.

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

That is all.

Yep, that's us.

The fodder for Grealish's forthcoming Sky documentary. 'How I won the title'

Bleeeeuuuurgh! Bleeeuuuurgh!
