Manchester City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Rigadon]

This season is far from over.  Fuck everyone else.  We’re going to smash every other team from here on in. 

[bilsim]

Tempted to say we got what we deserved but I actually think City offered very little. I was baffled by Disasi replacing Cash and I sincerely hope that this is the last time we'll see him in that position.

Can't see us getting top 5 now but you never know... There's something so familiar about seeing us concede a late winner that raises a wry smile.

[Mellin]

I'm far, far too fuming so going to take a breath first, but we deserved that.

[AV82EC]

Disappointing performance, Unai got it wrong imo. Morgan on too long, Disasi at RB. We were far too passive.

Now we'll find out what we're made of.

This. The passivity in the second half even with a Cup Semi on Saturday was shameful.

[itmustbe_it is!]

We were shit. Too passive. This particular iteration of City is not good, they are there for the taking of you don't fear them, and we played with too much fear.

Also, if your gameplan is backs to the wall defending, why Torres? He is more suited to front foot play.

I think the gameplay was soak up their attacks and play quick killer balls on the counter . So hence Torres .

[Smirker]

That's Champions league gone for the season.
I don't think we did a lot wrong, Rogers was dead on his feet.
Disasi isn't a mobile right back so find that sub baffling.

Europa league winners 2026 anybody?

It's not gone at all.

[Chip Butty 111]

Missed opportunity,  we looked tired and lacked belief in our ability. City are miles off what they were, and we let them dictate the game. We will never win there with a negative mindset. A really bad result and overall performance, we are so much better than that performance.

[Louzie0]

Blast.
And double blast. I’m very cross.

[Somniloquism]

There's a reason why Chelsea let Axel Disasi join a Champions League rival. It's because he is and will always be a terrible defender.

Terrible right back, better central defender as per Chelsea fans as well as our own evidence. I thought Emery would just use him as a straight Carlos replacement and still use Konsa RB if he persists with a CB there instead of RB. Whoever is doing the analysis on his usage at RB is doing a shit job.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Cock Piss Partidge.

Let's do them in the Final

Yes please!

[Grande Pablo]

Cash or Garcia - or dare I say Konsa - wouldn’t have got done by Doku.  Disasi has looked great at CB but as every Chelsea fan has told us he’s not a RB.

Fine margins in part, & Citeh did little to threaten with all the possession they have in the second half.

4 must win games after this weekend.

There should be a law against playing lumbering centre-halves at full-back.

There should be a law against playing lumbering centre-halves at full-back.

Emery fucked it tonight

[villa for life]

Why did Pau let that ball go across him? Couldn’t he have just kicked it out for a corner?

[Olneythelonely]

I don’t know why Unai shits himself so much at their ground. That’s a bang average Man City team and we treated them like gods.
