Villa v Man City Post-Match Thread

[wince]

Need to build on this. Pressure still there but down to SG to prove all of us wrong.

Watkins was absolutely outstanding second half and fair fucking play to him after being so out of form. Ashley was also immense when he came on, back 4 look much more composed with him in it. Ramsey got better as it went on and thought Douglas was very good as well.

Wow, word pie for tea tonight then

[Toronto Villa]

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

Not at all. Fucking robbed. And he looked much like his old self

[four fornicholl]

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

He was brilliant.

Rolling back the years , thought Kamara was excellent too
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.

Normally I don’t give a damn but I couldn’t wait to get on here tonight!!!  Everyone who predicted a cricket score tonight on the pre match thread take a look. A vastly improved performance against arguably the best team in Europe. Yes there are problems still but I for one am proud of the team tonight 

[Percy McCarthy]

Well done Villa, and as one of his harshest critics on here, well done Gerrard. He really dropped a bollock with the captaincy, needs to correct that so he can drop McGinn. Got everything else right today.

[LukeJames]

We looked so much better not pushing the full backs up and without McGinn on the pitch.

[BC Villain]

Weird game.  Lucky not to be further behind until Bailey equalised, then played really well and robbed of a winner by the officials.

Hopefully the penny's dropped with Gerrard over McGinn.  Anonymous again, improved after he went off.

Now build on this, wins in the next 2. Shows we have the talent, if we go toe to toe with that lot.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Probably stopped Gerrard getting the axe. If we played like that all season we’d be top 6 right now.

I'm hoping today he finally woke up to what he has in his hands. Aston Villa will always be bigger than Steven Gerrard. Brilliant support from fans that rightly so have high expectations.

 A great point in the end. Well done the players! UTV!

[Proposition Joe]

Now that was much better, and gives me hope for the season. I missed the goal because I lost the signal on my phone.

From what I saw, Watkins, Ramsey and Bailey looked really good. The defence also looked solid, even though Cro Magnon Man scored.

4 points off Leicester/Southampton simply has to be the expectation now. We got 4 points from the respective fixtures last season and we'd move back into mid table pack with that points haul.

Hopefully we just don't revert back to clueless tripe next week as Leicester are very beatable.

McGinn is certainly as close as he's ever been to getting dropped under Gerrard so that would be a step forward as Luiz-Kamara closed out the game very well. He must see that.

[The Edge]

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

More to the point what was VAR doing? It was completely brushed over. How the hell did they decide not to review that? City players just stopped which obviously swayed the officials but that should not stop VAR getting involved. Bizarre really.

Love it when the corpse rises from the coffin and tells the undertaker to fuck off.
