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

[Crossie]

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.

Not suprising.

Well Barry's too slow to keep up with the speed of Silva or Aguero and get into the box and NDJ is given instruction by Mancini to stay in his position to prevent any counterattack.

Milner's been playing in no man's land. Johnson's shot was a good one but I'd like to see him make runs into the box to support Aguero when we break.

Good game to see what Pizarro can do.

[Original Dub]

Overall the passing has been good, its the pace of the game that needs upping. Attack the shit out of these cunts.

[s1ty m]

He has to change it now. Not 60 minutes.

[guv111]

I'm not sure that Milner will ever move up to being a really consistently good footballer. He's all about enthusiasm and hard work, and when things go well he's liable to have a barnstormer of a game. His default, though, is poor touch, dubious passing, and earnest graft.

[trout man]

Aguero getting his mojo back is the key to this game, have been a bit concerned about him lately. He needs a screamer

[PALUS]

True that!

[Sideshow Bob]

villa have raised their game as expected. nothing to fear from us, sadly.

[blues2win]

With Barry and De Jong holding Milner has to make some runs into the box. Aguero needs support. If things don't change I imagine de Jong or Barry will be off and Dzeko will be on. I'd also swap Zaba for Richards.

[Dendza]

city's gotta start upping the stakes

[carl_feedthegoat]

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK OS THE POINT OF MILNER ?

CAN THEY?

[guv111]

Milner - case in point.

He's been a useless big lump again today.

Beg to differ....in the beginning of the season (in late 2011) he was one of our best and most consistent players hands down for a stretch of games. his form though, much like Silva's and Aguero's has dipped as the season has progressed. agreed, in this game he has been off but no need to throw him under the bus.


And yes, Mancini needs to change it now, not 60 minutes. Agreed. He waits way too long to make subs. Subbing someone in in the 80-90 minutes isnt gonna do shit most of the time..not enough time to get into the game.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK OS THE POINT OF MILNER ?

CAN THEY?

We have to play him every now and then so you give Lescott a break.

THROAT.

[Dendza]

D.J has been useless as well as milner and barry.

Nasri on for milner, dzeko on for De Jong

[DoomMerchant]

can we make this free kick mean something?

come on

[stommy]

Dzeko you useless cunt...

Oh, sorry he's not even on pitch...strange
