Manchester City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Villafirst]

To think Konsa and Rogers weren't involved at all is incredible. Also, I thought Tyrone had a commanding second half.

A gander at the Blue Moon forum is mighty revealing. Apparently VAR shafted them - again, they say, as apparently this happens often. Commentary mentioning the charges 'on a day like today' makes them 'subhuman scum', which is reasonable. Guardiola is only leaving because he 'doesn't trust these players' who've just finished second in the whole league.

They have the ugliest, crybully little victim complex and it is very very striking indeed.

I thought Ross Barkley, particularly in the second half, had a great game. An excellent pass for Ollie's second goal. Surely Villa will take up the optional third year of his contract?

He signed a three year deal when he joined us.

I think he's generally been great when he's played all season, he's looked much sharper this season than last.

Just sobered up from Wednesday. No way did we actually win away at Man City

It should have been by more in all honesty.

That VAR picture, it looked like they had superimposed SJM,s arse on Foden.
Hilarious.

Barkley had a very good 2nd half after being a bit loose with his passing in the first. Bailey similarly had a massive turnaround at halftime after a really poor first half where absolutely nothing he tried worked.

I thought Bogarde had a better game as well and did the Kamara/Lindelof job a lot better than he has previously, happily dropping into the defence when we had the ball and taking the ball in tight spaces.

Fiden looked offside in the freeze frame without the computer graphics, whereas Ollie clearly didn't.

I was watching that 2nd half yesterday and I just thought these players have crossed the Rubicon now, they fully believe in themselves and each other and the others have serious problems next year.

Yep, agreed, Foden looked further offside than he was shown on the graphic and I'm really not sure why it didn't get flagged live.

There's also something ironic about them moaning about the officials given some of the shocking decisions they've had go there way against us over the last few years.

[AlexAlexCropley]

The City players still running after the ref even after the var decision sums them up.
Maybe they'll be in favour of a var to look at var .

I don't usually look at other team forums because they're full of hysterical drama queens and obsessives but Blue Moon saying VAR and the Premier League are biased against Manchester City is wonderful.

There's a Liverpool fan at work, in his late 50's, who is genuinely convinced there's a referees conspiracy against them.
