***villa v the mighty blues official match thread***

[Cocacolajojo1]

What a cluster fuck.
Seriously is there any other keeper who has so little to fucking do in a game that gets beat so fucking often than Hart.

I can definitely see myself doing a worse job than Hart. So there's that.

[london blue 2]

If we let arsenal or Tottenham win this league pelligrini needs sacking!

[Cit.revenge]

Milner Nastasic Negredo Hart had a bad day but still 3 goals from vila and u must blame whole team

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

This Pellegrini guy is hell bent ruining my weekends. With Mancini I was at least happy with result most of the time if not always with football. But this guy ddoesn't know how to win games consistently. He knows how to win in style but not consistently. That's how he earned his reputation with lesser clubs and that's why he has never won anything.

We are going to win lot of games in style and lose lot of games like today and Cardiff. Probably some other dude in charge this time next years.

[phips]

all day it didnt look like Negredo and Dzeko can play together.

[DoomMerchant]

The Count and Moyes are trying to earn their sackings the hard way it seems. Fucking cunts the both of them.

Bring back Mancini and Bacon...i'm bored of this crap just 2 months in.

I'm starting to get afraid that Antti might be right about the Count's inability to win in a real league. What in the actual fuck happened here today? Shocker. And there's more to come. As many said in the summer....when Pellegrini loses he finds a way to make your jaw drop.

3 goals vs from 4 shots on target? Fucl me. Horrific. My son's U-9 team lost this morning 10-1 as they're a pretty young side vs kids 2 years older, but i was more impressed by their effort today than what i just watched.

cheers

[shawzy]

I've never seen anything like that before. We beat ourselves today. Plain and simple. The complacency shown was a disgrace once we went 2-1 up.

Summed it up in one word pal.

[Cit.revenge]

Hart reaction on 3 goal is amateur

[blues2win]

We had a very good transfer window with one exception. Pellegrini clearly had doubts about Nastasic as first chance but the management team flogged a dead horse with a Pepe. De Michelis is clearly back up not a first choice. We need a top class centre back in January full stop. Kompany can't be exempted for letting a goal kick sail past everyone and Hart had a poor game. Special mention for a shit linesman.

Really though we killed them in midfield and had Dzeko had his shooting boots on we'd have won by a hatful. As for Milner today god he was shit. I thought he played well midweek but that was against Wigan I suppose.

[Blue Since 76]

Anyone know where I can get an Arsenal shirt from?

[s1ty m]

Pellegrini's nativity in away matches is their for all to see. It'll cost him his job. Removing Nasri at 2-1 was a crime. He paid for it, so did we. All that great work in the Derby is effectively ruined by this crap pile. Fucking marvellous, well done. I could smash this iPad against the wall.

Thats what it seems like. We played well in the CL and vs. United (big games) but once going up 1-0 here we seemed to think it was done and dusted. We have the have the same intensity and desire in every game in every competition.

Pellegrini's nativity in away matches is their for all to see.

Before today Pellegrini has lost the last 6 of 7 away matches (City & Malaga combined)

[Beefymcfc]

I know everybody will be banging on about certain players, the manager etc but from 10 minutes in the 2nd half it just didn't look right. Yaya had dropped with Fern and we lost a little bit going forward. Then we took our only creative player off in Nasri and it looked like we decided to change tac and hold onto the lead and try to set up as Villa did from the start. It obviously does not fucking work!

The system, once Nasri and Dzeko left, just doesn't work and it leaves us open as fuck, just like we've seen on a few occassions this season. This isn't just bad luck, we've seen it too many times already this season.

The only consolation is that the Rags lost at home to the Brom. Could have been a damn lot better though!

[aaron bond]

That game was impossible to lose, but somehow we managed it. Villa weren't even trying to win the game.

Nastasic has to be dropped and Lescott brought back in. His defensive attributes are almost non-existent, and he's not good enough to be playing in a side challenging for the title. As we spent so much on him, I hope there's some improvement, but I'm not confident.

Dzeko and Negredo doesn't work, but we all knew that before the game, except the manager. Jovetic should have played instead of Dzeko, or Navas on the wing, with Yaya or Nasri off Negredo.

We score twice that is enough to win fuckin Vila.Our defense is problem this season we lead Cardiff we lead twice here so Attack is doing job defense is crap and Hart is shadow from 2012

[MilnersJaw]

Why we blaming the count for nasti dropping bolloxs? The only thing you can blame him for is playing nasti instead of lescott and joe with his half arses display.

[halnone]

I feel for Hart..... an offside goal, an unstoppable free kick, and inexcusable defending.

We didn't need to spend £30m on Fernandinho. I'm not blaming him for today's performance at all, but we did not need to buy him, especially for such an extortionate fee.

The money would have been better spent on a top-class centre back, who with Kompany and Lescott, would have given us 3 strong options there.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Definitely got the feeling there was some overconfidence around and it showed when Vinnie lost the ball for them to get the free kick for the 2nd goal.No way in a zillion years that would have happened against the scum the way he was fired up for that one.

Overall I just feel embarrassed.There is no way we should EVER take the lead against teams like Cardiff and Villa and not win games.Hearing that the scum lost does not help me feel any better at all,probably even worse.Just sloppy defending it's as simple as that.I do think it's a bit unfair to blame Joe for anything but 2 or 3 of the other defenders need to look at themselves.

Shame for Nasti but not the greatest surprise to find he was involved in giving away all 3 goals.

[Dameerto]

He should have stayed within his area for the third, he eliminated his hands from the equation by advancing too far too soon (unless he was willing to take a red for the team)
