Slightly deflated at the end. Hoped for more goals but after the penalty miss it wasn't going to happen.

[Beefymcfc]

If didn't know Silva had gone off, I would mistake Garcia for him. He's movement is very similar. I think he's going to turn into such a quality player.
Both Garcias should make the squad next season.

He has the same running style as Navas, but no way near Silva's close touch ability. Looked good though.

I wasn't. Was fairly gutted for Sergio not to slot the penalty but felt a little sorry for Micah and Joleon. That cunt Hutton though, I wanted him to take more.

[sheblue]

Great to get the three points.

[nottsblue]

After half time it sounded a bit ropey. A result of 4-0 is excellent. Clean sheet as well. Pressure on rags to win now.

[Slim]

We were all over them in the first half. Just needed them to lose a little edge, which they did after the relief of getting to the half on even terms.

Only a matter of time from what I saw.

Difficult 1st half due to the amount of players we had to get through. The early goal in the 2nd half opened them up, which was a blessing.

having 7 days off again will be nice

Correct. We battered them. I can't remember being at a half time, nil nil, game and thinking we will batter them by the end. We were miles better than them for 90 mins. If Bomy had a radar we would have been 3 up at half time.

Cast your mind back to a wet midweek game at the etihad in may 2014. The visitors were Aston Villa it was 0-0 at half time but we'd been well on top. We beat them 4-0 and went on to win the title.......just sayin!

I like you.

[failsworthblue]

Like watching a training game , we looked so lethargic is was not true , good job villa are probably one of the worst sides I have ever seen.

This team is shot , cannot wait until next season.

4th is not guaranteed and West Ham are Head and Shoulders better than us.

[Hazy2]

I was lying in hospital watching the League Cup final, and when it came to penalties, I thought, like most others probably did: here goes nothing, Caballero in goal. To make matters worse, I had to contend with a loud-mouthed Scouse fan in the next bed...
I was proven wrong and then some. My point is, let's keep believing until the end. Recent stats suggest it's likely to end badly, but you never know with this team.

Incidentally, Arsenal have also lost three games on the trot (one in the CL) - a draw with Spurs today would be ideal, and I expect Watford at home to at least give Leicester a run for their money.

You ok mate

[City64]

First half diabolical and I nearly fucked off at half time to resume on the piss status in the city center . Much better 2nd half but it should have been 6 or 7 without breaking sweat as Villa are atrocious , almost a pub team in disguise . Bony is utter wank !!! why oh why wasn't Nacho on from the start ????

I like your thinking.

[Mase]

Just seen the goals.

Some of that defending by Micah today we used to be fuming when O'Shea or Wes Brown did it for Sunderland against the rags - it was that bad the defending!

[nottsblue]

Can see Villa going down next season as well. They are that bad. Zero sympathy from me if they do

[KinkyKinkladze]

What kind of reception did Micah and joleon get? Hope it was good.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Boy, Kolarov sure is out of favor

So is Nacho

Whenever I'm stupefied about Agüeros injuries, I'll just remind myself that oh yeah, it's because Pellegrini always plays him. Always. Over and over again. Despite form or fitness. Always.

And yes, I am insinuating something.

Whatever....Bony shouldn't even be on the payroll let alone on the fuckign pitch.

Good player, should be somewhere else. Under no circumstances does this twat get in the team in front of Ian.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Why the fuck is this Clichy constant love from Pellers?

Rotate them ffs.

Had a great game.
