***Villa v Treble Winners Official Match Thread***

[Beefymcfc]

That was a fucking joke.

Worst performance I've seen under pep.

Not sure where we go from here. We looked shot, is that what 3 and a CL does to you?

Even Bernie doesn’t look interested, the team look seriously fucked!

[dave watson's perm]

But we won the treble and we were in the third division not that long ago some will say

We were, and we enjoyed both.

[blues2win]

Big Ed played well. Dias was ok. Foden actually tried to be creative. Bobb was decent when he came on. That’s it. I presume we’ll be much better with Rodri back. We usually are.

[Indianablue]

Reasons to be cheerful. Rodri’s back. Kevin not too far away. Doku may be back soon. That’s about it. The transfer window beckons.

Transfer window is not the answer. These players are decent but they are not being motivated to put a shift in. Nearly everyone of our outfield players has been poorer this season. My only question is why did we get rid of Laporte. He didn't want to go, and yet we dont play Ake who is one of our most consistent players. Something not right this season.

[sniffer]

So our fist choice team is still probably best around. But fringe players not good enough and squad thin, tell me another team with kids playing and on bench and two goalkeepers on bench. What however really pisses me off is lack of crosses and shots from distance even in last few minutes.

[Indianablue]

How many times are we gonna fuck about with the ball out wide before we lose it. Put it in the box FFS.

100 per cent

[johnny crossan]

22 shots by Villa - 2 by us. I'm struggling to process this stat.

[Indianablue]

Great questions to Pep after the game what an arse of an interviewer. I'd be doing an Elon Musk and telling them to fuck off

I simply cannot get my head round we didn't have a shot of any description after the 11th minute.

[blues2win]

The saddest thing about tonight was Bernie’s performance. I’m a huge fan but he was shite. Very rare off day for him.

What was said?

[Harry Dowd scored]

We are still three points in front of rags, maybe a top four race this year lads

[s1ty m]

Blow that whistle. Did Haaland play that second half?
So many issues to moan about but something aint right. We had no answer . Townsend absolutely right, we have been completely outworked, outcreated, outplayed we are shite and in a bad run of form and it goes back weeks. PEP needs to sort it, thats what he gets paid the big bucks for. Some of our players needed hookinf earlier. Why does Ake not get picked instead of Akanji who has been woeful. The passion other teams have when they play us needs to be expected and matched

Lol. Akanji, just fucking lol. Or, actually, nothing funny at all. I made a comment about this monster clown on LB's channel, and some fuckwit told me he was a mainstay of the TR3BLE winning team. I suggested he re-watched Istanbul for the truth, a game he nearly blew single-handedly, on more than one occasion.

May I just add, Alvarez is continuing to be asked to play this non-existent position. He should walk away. It's awful to watch.

CLICHY , - NO GAME PLAN , NO SOLUTION sums it up no need to say more except to say i thought they would put us to the sword and they did. As much as Villa were great, City were absolutely shite.

one of several recently tbh.

[just sayin]

Terrible run we are going through just lately and horrible to watch.
I know we all moan at Pep's lack of subs but to take both Foden and Alverez off as poor as they were tonight to then bring on Nunes and Kosovic.....we were never going to get back in the game. I mean, they would both struggle to get into Burnley's team they are that shit!

Agree with everything you say. Nobody looks up for the fight, including Pep.

[Nick]

Thr bizarre thing with nunes is, he's quickly going the way of Phillips. Yet, he was peps man. A player pep said was "the best in the world" just a year ago..

[Nick]

There is Zero passion or leadership in that team. We lose leaders every year and replace with dross.
