Man City vs Aston Villa Match thread

[amfy]

You’ve all got it wrong - You can go in on a player and take them out, but if you jump back a little at the end it’s not a penalty. Surely everyone knows that basic clause in the rules?

[villadelph]

It was a clear pen - I don’t see how you can argue against it - he takes him out

Of course its a pen and even IF it was borderline we've had many many, proper questionable decisions against us, suck it up Man City

JJ is on a clear route to goal and gets a knee to the inside of his trail leg.. obviously a penalty.

[Small Rodent]

If that pen had been given against us, I’d be fuming too.

Rubbish. He jumped in the air and kneed him in the leg.

No need to jump in the air.

[JUAN PABLO]

rogers a bit quiet?


expect him to score now.

[PaulWinch again]

We can’t just stand off them and be passive. We need to get into them and turn them around.

[andyh]

Fuck the penalty it’s gone.
Worry about the fact we have gone sloppy and need to get involved

[Martyn Smith]

It's still a blatant penalty whichever way you look at it, MCTV

[Proposition Joe]

Midfield is the problem. They HAVE to get involved

The double pivot in the centre isn't working, Man City are doing everything in the wide areas. Onana and Kamara are spectators.

[amfy]

If that pen had been given against us, I’d be fuming too.

why?  It was a penalty all day long.

Fuming at whichever of our players stupidly gave it away!

[cdbearsfan]

What a bunch of moaning fannies.

[astonvilla82]

Haven't a clue what's a penalty and what's not a penalty these days

If it's for us it definitely is. If it's the other lot it isn't, the cheating twats.

Got me by over the years.

Wasn't it Ramsey the other week, never even went to the screen to look at it

Agreed.
And lack of involvement from Rogers

[JUAN PABLO]

poor villa

pass the ball to each other

[PaulWinch again]

Blimey, what a fuss.

[PaulTheVillan]

Was deffo a pen. He ran in full pelt and didn’t get the ball. Don’t get why people think it wasn’t
