Villa v Man City Post-Match Thread

[coreyfeldman]

Pleased with a point but with my misery arse hat on, I really don’t to see us celebrating a draw like we’ve won a bloody cup final.

Bet you're fun at a party

If the lino had done his job properly than VAR would've given the goal. Unfortunately he was a nobhead and fucked it up, so nothing VAR can do.

I think it’s less the Lino and more the ref. The Lino got the call wrong, but it’s the ref blowing his whistle rather than letting the phase play out that fucked us.

Whoever starts it might want to stick the teams up. Footy Villa can start it if he/she/it/they promise not to play 'snooker the threads' of a Thursday (or any day).

Seems like the first time in a very long time that a Villa performance and result has really pleased me. Hoping for more of the same in the next few weeks as I open a Sat. night bottle of red.

[PaulWinch again]

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

It doesn't affect the result. Nobody cares who starts threads.

I bet you walk under ladders.

I walk under ladders just to show it's superstitious nonsense but I still want 'PaulWinch again' to start the next match thread.

Ha ha!

The extra man in midfield is what we finally got. Hopefully Gerrard will see his preferred formation just won't work.

It was pretty much the same formation I thought, maybe those at the ground could say better. Ramsey left of Watkins and Bailey to the right. Both narrow rather than wingers though Ramsey did drop back into midfield quite a bit. When McGinn went off, it didn't seem as if we switched to a 2. Ramsey dropped back to where McGinn was but maybe with a bit more licence to break forward.

What I would appreciate is if someone could explain our performance in terms of xG (Xg?) and double pivots.*

*I'm not being serious. Don't bother!

[Brazilian Villain]

I hope Legion doesn't mind me doing the honours.

Ref has to blow his whistle when he sees the flag go up, no real choice so it's all on the lino and a terrible call.

As I said earlier show a non football fan a replay of this goal and the one we conceded up there when the player was walking back from offside position and actually touched the ball and they'd just conclude football is a very dodgy sport sometimes in terms of decision making.....

andyh, if you can't celebrate a point against one of the top (albeit boring bastards) sides in the world in the context of our recent shite results then maybe you should consider a job as a parkie in Viz Comic.

1 things for certain, that dressing room isn’t lost. The commitment was fantastic, the discipline was there and Ashley Young rolled back the years. A monumental effort from everyone.
