As said above I suspect heavy alcohol and drug use is responsible for the latest attacks and pitch invasions. 

You only have to look around you in the concourse at an away game to see it's a big problem

People on pretty much every club's forum I read are saying the same thing atm. I like a few pints before and after a game but really can't see the attraction of doing coke at a football match.

Watkins has missed chances in thr past 2 games and against Wolves the other week that would have given us 6 more points and a 10th place finish. Small margins.

He also scored three goals in the last six games of the season, so perhaps isn't all bad.
Sorry but his misses today speak volumes. If we’re gonna progress, we need a striker who will score those efforts rather than miss them.

We did what we could today, but to me, there are  several points to consider when looking at the performance and result:

1. City are relentless and with their playing style and individual skills eventually that tires out your defence, unless you can get hold of possession and relieve the pressure.
2. They have a top class squad - look at their bench compared to Villa's.
3.Look at the comparative squad values.
4. We played against Burnley who were thuggish - a bit of a battering is putting it mildly
5. City have only lost 3 league games all season.
6. In the end we just ran out of steam.

The lack of squad depth and strength is something that we need to address in coming transfer windows.

I expect that in 2 seasons time the squad will be vastly different to the current one

Our bench looked very weak.
I think letting El Ghazi and Trezeguet leave in January was a big mistake, I'd much rather see those on the bench especially El Ghazi than what we have

I dont think he's bad at all, just that I would like a striker who improves us to come in.

Since the lockdown in general society has turned crazy. As said above I suspect heavy alcohol and drug use is responsible for the latest attacks and pitch invasions.

For once I agree with you.

I get what people are saying about Man Citeh being such a good team that they're very hard to stop but if anything that makes it even worse to chuck it away. When are we going to have a better chance to beat those fuckers? Really depressing and disappointing.

Yep, he's spot on with that. People aren't even subtle about it any more, they just do it openly in the toilets.
