Manchester City vs Aston Villa match thread

[Steve67]

Omnishambles.  Doesn't mater how good they are, we are lazy, in awe of them, can't control the ball properly.  Can't wait for the summer to come along but I just hope we don't get dragged back into a lower table scramble.  This is truly crap.  Ramsey on the right side of midfield does not work. Shove the process up your arse Emery, sort out the weeds.

Why are our fans not taking to Emery? I reckon 90% of clubs in our position be over the moon to get Emery?

I don't understand- genuinely baffled by some of our fans.

I love the bloke and am glad he's our Manager, but he's not playing he right system for the players he inherited and he also needs the time to fuck a lot of this shit off.

In my opinion getting Emery is one of the best things to happen our club since the 1990s. But I don't see that reflected on here- it baffles me.

If not Emery who exactly is going to get the patience to take us back near the top end of the table?

One fan, having a moan at the formation and the lack of effort of the players is not 'an Emery out' brigade.  The football is bad enough to endure without trying to start something that really isn't there.

We weakened the squad in January.
Some absolutely bizzare decisions and as predicted they come back to haunt us

But Purslow said the club belongs in Europe and we have a drunk world cup winner so who are us paying peasants to complain

Feel sorry for those who have travelled up there today

[Villa Lew]

Dreadful, wasn't expecting this from an Emery side, hopefully City will decide to declare at 3, with the Arsenal game coming up.

[dorsetvillian]

Such a difficult watch. Maybe leaving early today I think..

[Bad English]

How the fuck can commentators say he's being clever, he knows what he's doing, he throws his leg out without calling him a cheating c@nt? 

He used to do it for us all the time and not many complained.

New to football PWa?

I remember Ashley Young diving against us to win a penalty in exactly the same way and look who is playing for now

Yawn.

[Axl Rose]

And you can bet that ****** Grealish will be laughing and joking with our players at the end.

Can't believe he did that for the penalty.

[Villatillidie1982]

We haven't got the forwards to play 4 4 2. I want to go home.

[PaulWinch again]

January has set the tone for this - not bothering to address the gaping holes in squad, in fact actively weakening it. Then the manager says the target is avoiding relegation when we were 3 points off Europe. It’s embarrassing and within a game and a half we’ve shipped 7 goals.

[JUAN PABLO]

So much better under the fraud  Gerrard ffs

Mentally we haven't been right since 1997

[SoccerHQ]

How the fuck can commentators say he's being clever, he knows what he's doing, he throws his leg out without calling him a cheating c@nt? 

They said the same when he was playing for us.

[Beard82]

Poor team selection - too weak think wanted the baileys pace and if he had an ounce of the ability of grealish had he might be a player.

Ramsey needs a break - should have had cash and McGinn in instead of Bailey and Ramsey at least for a bit of combativeness

Really really poor and a prime example of why we should have gone harder in Jan - we looking at 3 straight defeats and likely conceding 10 plus goals

Not sure how any of that makes getting these unicorn players in the summer any easier

This is the same spineless shot we have served up for most of the last 4 seasons

[wince]

Footy Vill mate, hasnt played out as you predicted has it?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

This is as shit as anything under Gerrard.

Yup. Having earlier watched managerless Leeds, who can't buy a win, they're still a better footballing side than us.
