***Official Villa v City Match Thread***

[Dameerto]

What has happened to Kun. FFS I know he's scored a zillion goals but he could have easily have scored two zillion with the chancees he's had. There seems to be a real loss of edge. ? Still carrying an injury and us with only 2.5 strikers (Mario = .5) means he's over used? Could this be a reason. I mean after his debut I was thinking of another maradonna!

He's been our best player along with Silva - we have no one getting near the back post when he works his magic though, or we'd be two goals up by now.

[Bluemoon16]

NDJ did a good job at the back

[dick dastardley]

Pretty poo if you ask me all the possession no end product. Its got last minute winner written all over it. Our away form is poor

[Moonchesteri]

Honestly guys I think they should change their shirts at half time. White tops would help my old eyes!

you have to say the kitman got this one all wrong today.
imo the best one would've been home shirt, dark blue or black shorts and home socks.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

this game is crying out for Dzeko. Can't believe we haven't scored.

[Crossie]

Yea 2 mates text me to say the shirts are too similar.

We need Dzeko (in theory!) and let Kun drop back abit from the fwd line to bring in Silva and some more support from AJ cutting in.

Villa are there for the taking.

Barry and Dejong do not need to be playing in the same team when we are playing a bottom half demotivated team of old rejects.

[Dameerto]

The problem is our midfield, flacid passing and not supporting the attacks properly.

[paddyblue]

cant possibly win the league with this kind of away form

[david yearsley]

I have to say that was garbage - NDJ , Milner and Barry - wtf !? Nasri and Dzeko on and maybe Micah

Things have to improve or you can just see another 1-0 to the home side

[Blue Since 76]

Is this what he meant by more Italian?

[shawzy]

Need to score early next half..Too much pissing about that half..Last thing we need is a sunderlandesque smash n grab from them.

[Londonblue1]

One goal is all it will take.utter control of this game just needs one break.it will come have faith.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

I don't know whether I am relaxed that we are in control and bound to score,frustrated that we havent scored and might not or worried that it will be a Sunderland game where they score from their only chance.

Correct that I am definitely not relaxed.

[Ted Hughes]

Well tactically we have had no problems & have been in the danger area many times so Bob hasn't made a mistake. The attack arejust fucking useless so far & that includes Silva. The approach play is fine but once it reaches the box, you could swap Silva & Aguero for Bercovic & the Goat & we'd be 4 up. I counted ONE correct decision; Johnson's shot. On every other occasion, there are players free who are not seen, shooting opportunities not taken & ceosses to the 7ft invisible man beyond Villa's far post.

It's time they fucking woke up. This is not even 50% of our attacking capability. We did this 1st half v Everton & they offered nothing. Then they got their tails up & beat us. Sort it out.

[avoidconfusion]

This is going to be another Wigan... I hope we win though.

[kinkylola]

right now, there is nothing remarkable about this game. Villa are horrible, milner's passing is total shit.

[Dameerto]

Putting the ball into space (that they created themselves) at the backpost is the RIGHT decision - the wrong part is that no one is supporting them by anticipating the cross. We could have had two goals if someone got near the back post (the kind of position that Dzeko anticipates in his sleep)

[PeterParker]

It's the same half we had at WBA, Sunderland, WIgan, Everton. We pass, but we fail to score and then the opponents are more and more confident as the minutes go by.

Maybe someone needs to remind them that Dzeko isn't playing...

[Offerton blue]

fuck sory but we shuld fuck this Vila team....

Wow that was hard work to watch get dzeko on if we are doin the Long ball
