Manchester City v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I would genuinely fine Zaniolo 2 weeks wages for that. Fucking coward

Dress him up like a little girl for 2 weeks. Pathetic.

[Beard82]

We've done well - the CB and CM haven't done well enough keeping the ball - shame that the wall was so poor for that. 

I would be tempted to take Morgan off for Bailey seems over his head. 

[AV84]

Shame to concede just before HT, especially when they've got Haaland and KDB on their bench.

[frank black]

Zani oh no! What was he thinking

[Brazilian Villain]

The Liverpool fans watching think Luiz was fortunate enough not to get sent off, and should be hooked before he is.

[Monty]

Zaniolo was very poor in the wall, Konsa wasn't great, Luiz is reckless giving free kicks away, it was not good all round.

[Skerra]

I’d take a 2-1 defeat right now. They look like scoring every time they go forward. Diaby May as well not be on the pitch but Duran’s working his socks off.

[PeterWithesShin]

Tim and Olsen deserve a mention, both done well so far.

[manic-road]

Poor second goal to give away but we are far from out of this at the moment.

[villa_cads]

Overall, broken wall aside, thought we were good value at 1-1. Room for optimism second half, expect Bailey and Tielemans around 60 mins.

[eamonn]

Luiz is an idiot for getting booked and I'd be tempted to take him off but without him our midfield is paper and ribbons. Tielemans doesn't have Luiz's ability and energy off the ball.

The atmosphere sounds shite from the tv. Twice I could pick-out a scowly Shaun Ryder Manc twat swearing and blinding.

[JUAN PABLO]

Tim has looked likeweight at times .  Get Bailey and Youri on now and give it a go.

Dougie needs to be careful .    Gave away possession too easy at times and ref has gave them most stuff.

Grealish is an absolute toss pot .   I remember him diving against us and getting a pen , no idea why the  c n u t  wants to do that and get Doug sent off too.  C n u t .

[john2710]

Zaniolo will currently be getting a round of fucks for that. Otherwise all things considered that's about as good as it could be.

[villa_cads]

Tim and Olsen deserve a mention, both done well so far.

Agreed, Olsen especially has been excellent.

[taylorsworkrate]

That line up has played better than it has any right to in all fairness. Was frustrating City and looking a threat in transition.

To concede a goal like that is so fucking triggering
