Fucking cheats vs Aston Villa post match thread - we won the 2nd half 1-0

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Any optimism I had pre-game vanished when I saw Chambers was starting. First half poor 2nd half better. Another goal for our in form striker...well done Ollie! Unlucky Duran!
Btw greadlish is a tw*t, so what’s new?

Feared the worst when they lost at Spurs last week and at half time was reckoning on five or six.  So actually pretty happy with the second half!

How can VAR look at that Grealish penalty and not call the ref over? I watched All Quiet On The Western Front the other night and saw German soldiers being pumped full of close quarters machine fire go down less dramatically.

Also man city fans having a banner in support of a lawyer defending the over 100 allegations against their filthy sportswashing project was pretty fucking hilarious. They know what they are alright, and they love it.

[Exeter 77]

Very impressed by Dúran's cameo but Chambers is just not a centre back and definitely not a left-sided one.

[Mellin]

Next week I'd like to see:

Martinez

Cash
Konsa
Mings
Digne

Kamara
Luiz

McGinn
Coutinho

Watkins
Duran

Young done nothing wrong, but I like Cash and think we need to keep hold of him considering respective ages.

Bailey, Buendia and Ramsey not doing enough right now.

[Risso]

Chambers was abysmal. Ditto Bailey.

Wrong team picked, first 15 mins of second half wasted until we made some changes. All the subs did well I thought so should made the next team selection a lot more interesting. Need to toss this 4222 in the bin permanently.

That’s what I’d go with.

[PaulWinch again]

Agree Bailey, Buendia, and Ramsey need a spell on the bench.

Agree Bailey, Buendia, and Ramsey need a spell on the bench.

Buendia was our best player only last week!

I can’t get too wound up about it - he used to do exactly the same for us and I was happy enough. I try not to waste too much time thinking about him.

It's probably to be expected what with the whipped-up partisan atmosphere of any football ground, but the utter lack of any kind of self-reflection (Man City have literally been accused of cheating for over a decade) from the 'etihad' was somewhat sickening.  There'd be an element at any ground in the country that would be so, but I would hope that if it was us, we'd be a little more circumspect about how we'd behaved. 

The game was utterly predictable.  They have world class players in every single position, and a world class coach.  We have the latter, but not the former. 

So, the next time we play this lot let's see where we/they are. That will inform how the next 10 years might play out.

That’s what I’d go with.

And that saves me a lot of typing too

Never going to win away when:
Your keeper makes a howler in the first few mins.
Chambers doesn’t clear it for a corner or a throw in.
You concede a shit soft pen.

We were shite the first half but not 3.0 shite. 

Much better 2nd half. 

Have to drop:
JJ
Bailey
Digne
Chambers
