Villa v Man City Post-Match Thread

[Ger Regan]

Much, MUCH better. Thought Watkins led the line brilliantly, apart from that one stupid ball towards the end.

[PeterWithesShin]

Worked hard, looked threatening, defended well, that's more like it. Looked better with McGinn off.

[wince]

Will take that. Credit where it is due we seemed to be better. Doesn’t change that shit start but out of bottom 3

[villadelph]

Leon Bailey is THE MAN.

[Toronto Villa]

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

[AlexAlexCropley]

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

Everyone with two working eyes has been saying that all season long

[Ger Regan]

Yeah, bloody great finish. A really good goal all round.

[paul_e]

Setup was much better, we had an actual midfield which meant the gap between attack and midfield was much smaller. Easily the best performance of the season which begs the question why the fuck Gerrard couldn't see the problem 2-3 weeks ago.

[Goldie.7]

Very good performance.

[PaulWinch again]

Brilliant effort. Watkins was excellent, apart from that ball. To a man they were great and it was a deserved goal.

Coutinho was much better when he came on, had real fire about him.

Emi - a couple of those saves.

Well done to Gerrard as well, got it right and managed the game well. More of that.

Agree with all that.

He's bought himself the next two games with that performance. Only gripe is where's that level of effort, organisation and discipline been in the other league games?

[Yeltzer]

Love it

He was brilliant.

[ozzjim]

Bailey has me befuddled. But he should be played as a striker with Watkins.

Coutinho hit a stunning winner.

Deserved a point.

Way better when McGinn went off, and Luiz should be commended for his performance after the Arsenal stuff, fully committed.
