Villa v Man City Post-Match Thread

[Rigadon]

Great result

[LeeB]

I've spent the week slagging off the manager, so fair play to him, that didn't look like a team that didn't want to play for him.

That's a massive result, might only be a point but in terms of confidence it's invaluable.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh and what the fuck was the ref doing for Phil’s disallowed goal?

[SoccerHQ]

Brilliant point, now please please please have this as a significant building block.

Young made me feel like I was in 2008 again, read it effortlessly at RB so that's experience for you.

Coutinho "offside" goal was a total disgrace. I don't generally cry corruption in the game after bad decisions but when you think of that Rodri goal that was given against us in this fixture 18 months back it does make you wonder sometimes...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

PaulWinch again, you're starting Match threads from now on. Great work, fella.

Take a bow Ashley Young. He made us so,so,so much better.My motm

He was brilliant.

Was our best player in the cup too. He should be starting at right back next game. We are better with him on because he's a leader.

[SamTheMouse]

A fine performance. Much better organised, Watkins' running off the ball was great, and we frustrated them.

Kamara and Doug playing together gives us a more solid platform and makes it much harder for teams to play through us.

[Goldenballs]

Loved that. And LOVED Emi signalling for a sub 😂

That's probably bought him at least the next 2 games.

Gerrard should swallow some pride and give the captaincy back to Mings.

[Ian.]

Ashley Young and Ollie Watkins we’re superb, special mention to Douglas too.

[KRS]

Much much better than expected. Credit where credit is due…and that includes Gerrard. Will have to lay off the calls for him to go now, and he’ll definitely get the next 2 games.

[Villa in Denmark]

Oh and no way was Coutinho offside for his "goal "

They know not to blow the whistle, we had this at Palace three years ago.

It's because they're fucking bent.

[PaulTheVillan]

Better after McGinn went off.

Think Gerrard still has the dressing room.

[Toronto Villa]

Beat Leicester and Southampton and the world looks a lot better. If this isn’t a launching point Gerrard will be gone. But today he needs to be commended. Well done SG. Much more like it.

[PhilVill]

For one night at least I feel like I have my Villa back. Superb performance!
