Aston Villa v Man City Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

Who's on cocomms on Sky because he's the most negative, pessimistic ****** I've ever heard. Is it Hinchcliffe?

keeps going on about them having  a penalty

[Rigadon]

Best performance for a long while.  Only shame is that we’re not more goals ahead. 

[enigma]

Really good half. He gets some stick, but Onana has bossed that midfield.

[brontebilly]

Really good after a poor start. Likes of Konsa and Onana showing some much needed aggression in their respective performances. I think we have bullied them a bit, disappointed only one up. Ollie working hard but really doesn't look sharp in front of goal. Martinez distribution has been shite.

[rob_bridge]

Onnana's best half for us. Looks a 50m player for once.

Cash and Buendia also very good.

Can't fault any of them really.

Citeh had a great 10 mins and we have been better team since

[eamonn]

Only saw the last 20 but that looked as good as anything as the famous December 2023 1-0 win against them that we all cream ourselves over.

Think we needed a second though, while on top. Citeh are rarely kept scoreless and our only clean sheets have come in nil-nils so far this season.

[usav]

Other than the first 10 minutes, pretty comfortable.

Golf stars to Onana, Kamara and Cash.

[JUAN PABLO]

great half.     took 15 mins to get going and then that was the villa we know . Shame about little Emi but Sancho has looked alright and Rogers getting back to his best.  Just wish SJM had found Rogers instead of shooting for 2 0 .   
everyone has been really decent with some great breaks at time but the ref letting them get away with too much .

[eamonn]

Micky Oliver knows he fucked-up with the corner award, he'll try to think of anything to disallow it, or even it up later with a pen for the cyborg, just wait...

He didnt fuck up it wsas clearly a corner

I meant that Citeh were claiming a free kick just before it which Guardiola was still arguing about when the corner was being taken and 5Live seemed to agree with them.

[Olneythelonely]

Best half of the season. By some distance

[rob_bridge]

Oh good objective 'analysis' from Micah Richards.

Can whichever Village has been missing him, please reclaim him. It has been far too long.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Up to 7th now. Hope we can build on this in the second half!

[Stu82]

Onnana's best half for us. Looks a 50m player for once.

Cash and Buendia also very good.

Excellent first half, especially Onanna superb.
Above sums it up for me.

[Legion]

Dodgy start but were dominant after that.

Agreed. Played some good stuff after the first 10 minutes or so.

McGinn was within his rights to have a shot there, fancied him to score.
