City must be third favourites now. 

Arsenal showed they have far more resilience this season. Defended brilliantly.

It takes time. The same people  slated Luiz, Mcginn and Bailey  and look how they turned out
Only true haters would get defensive over my post.

Not all the same people. I've been critical of Zaniolo and Luiz in the past but never McGinn or Bailey.  Its not hatred it is wanting players to contribute more. Zaniolo is starting to perform now off the bench. Let's hope that continues, we need him for this final push towards champions league.

Can you blame the.manager for players inability to stick the ball in the.back of the net. They create enough chances.

Yeah well thats a constructive analysis and i could be wrong and Moreno was the issue.  Unlike Delphinio and his nonsense comments and nothing to back it up

I don't know,  I thought first half was the best he's played In a villa shirt aside the first 20 mins when the whole team were crap. I think we have a real player on our hands going forwards. He's the future.  I'd leave him in because he shouid continue to improve. If we can find a spot for Zaniolo then fine but has looked great coming off the bench and we need that.

You have to give him the same time we gave Bailey and Diaby - so far he's doing just as well

You can't unless you sign him permanently. You can't say he's done as well.as Diaby this season as its not true.

Depends what you are looking at.  Was fantastic running with the ball and carrying it forward but gave Moreno absolutely no support.  If you see my comments since he came, ive high hopes for him but he shouldn’t be starting yet.  Zaniola should be starting all day long and he be good sub when teams are tired 

I thought he did offer Moreno support but Moreno was shocking. It's different when you come on for last 20 minutes or so. Zaniolo has been doing well coming on as an impact sub. 

They must be the jammiest side around 

He's a monster. Thought he was the one that got the team going today after such a sluggish start. 

Very impressed with him.todsy 

He looked really at it when he came on. That's what uou need in the run in. Everybody contributing. 

Looking at the fixtures in the week I think West Ham will be right up for it against Spurs. Not an easy game I don't expect anything at City but you never know.

It was always going to happen at some point. Hopefully nothing too bad. Time for Duran to step up and he looked good when he came on.

A good three points and clean sheet. I have motm to Carlos. Defence looks better with him in it. 

Omg Moreno again. 

Got to score there. Great through ball 

Moreno has been crap

I get why folk wanna slow the deterioration down, but having watched both my folks suffer from different versions of it they wouldn't have wanted it... like the current advertising suggests, they die over and over again.. and the effect it has on their loved ones is irreversible

Yes I understand that, hopefully they will find a complete cure one day.

In a midfield 3 he is an extremely good player isn't he.

So we need to pick a three tomorrow then.

There's no free hits now. I think we blew that we our defeat against spurs.

I think unai will play:

                            Emi

Konsa.    Lenglet.       Torres.      Moreno

                Doug.       Youri

Leon.                                        Zaniolo

                 Moussa.     Ollie

Hard to second guess what team Urai will pick. He's likely to spring one or two surprises. 

Don't know whats happened but Is it too late for sid to be given this new drug which slows the rate of dementia down? I know it's only effective if given in the early stages. 

I wish he could do it for us though. 

Oh well it doesn't matter anyway. England aren't winning the euros with Southgate and that defence. All the media seem excited by the performance yesterday but we scrapped a last ditch draw at home against a mediocre Belgium team.
