Aston Villa v Man City Post-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

That bastard keeps showering us with praise in a clear attempt to make me like him a bit.

Ha! You may have a point, his own fans don't seem to like him anymore so he must be feeling very unloved. I thought his assessment was very honest plus any any visiting fans to Villa Park expecting their team to win haven't done their homework.*



*Obviously that doesn't include Crystal Palace fans.

As someone mentioned earlier I’m not sure of why they dislike Cash. Obviously Matty rhymes with Twatty but moneybags? Yeah he earns good money but it’s not as if their players are on minimum wage and to my knowledge he doesn’t flaunt it.

I assume Twatty Moneybags is a play on Matty Cash rather than any kind of dislike for him.

It's cringeworthy. Do people really watch that shite? The human race is doomed.

Fergie was a patronising ******.

Made worse by him sounding like Mark Goldbridge.

[Pat McMahon]

Foden is a whiney, dirty little shit.

He's just a shit Morgan Rogers.

Highlight of the second half. It came over so loud on TV, like the whole ground were singing it.

From where I was in the Holte, they were!

He knows that just like the ski instructor, SUE just out coaches them with tactics.

I was thinking the same as well. Obviously they think Goldbridge has the formula so just copy it down to using almost the exact terminology when they concede.

Other than the win and three points, the real delight was our first half performance. Okay, we a a dodgy first ten minutes but thereafter it was fluid, one touch football with Man City chasing shadows as we added pace to possession. The movement was constant and intelligent, if the through ball wasn't there just keep the ball moving, quick sharp passes, keep looking for options but above all keep it moving. It was brilliant to watch.

We've shown signs previously that we can play some beautiful football but it's always been in short spells rather than a prolonged period like yesterday. It was certainly the best half of the season and what made it better was all the players were comfortable with it. Pep certainly noticed it and was highly impressed given his post match comments, and he wasn't wrong.

I'd love us to score more goals, something we've failed to do so far this season but right now I'll take us winning games, it's a lovely habit to have. Play like we did in the first half and Pep may have a point about us being "a Champions League team, a top, top team".

Yep.  Thought it was very encouraging that we were able to keep possession and get out of tight spaces so easily against a team like that.

I assume they boo Cash after he was the one who was the one who gave Jack a kick or two at VP last season that got Jack waving his arms about & our crowds pantomime booing amplified

As for that knob in his mums spare room in his computer chair pretending he is on the bench….despair at what football at this level has become sometimes…tho it is piss funny watching those numpties when they lose

It enabled Villa to beat City here for the third season in a row and, in doing so, they won a fourth top-flight league game in succession for the first time since 1936. That achievement is all the more remarkable given they had not won any of their first five fixtures and having lost so disappointingly away to Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League. Suddenly they are up to eighth.

So we haven't won four league games in a row in the top division in almost a century? Hardly...what sort of losers would follow a team like that? Seems like he mangled the relevant stat going round after the game - "Villa became the only team in top-flight history to have a five-game winless start in the league and then win the next four games since Preston in 1936-37."
