terrytini Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 He was decent, I'd have gone grealish. There weren't many stand out performances. All in all the individual quality across the whole pitch was poor. We outplay the champions away from home and there's still comments like this. Yeah, because they are realistic. Who were the outstanding performers Stefan?? Notice I said 'across the pitch' and 'individual' - because guess what, I was including man city players which doesn't support your 'woodytom hates everything to do with villa because he doesn't bum the arse out of everything to do with them' bullshit! . But like usual, don't let reading a post get in the way. You think you are being realistic which suggests many of us are not. I think the words you need to use are pessimistic and negative. There is nothing, nothing, unrealistic about saying we have just, on the whole, outplayed the current champions, and could have won DESPITE a couple of howlers. What is unrealistic about being pleased, proud, and optimistic about that. Had we won wed have beaten three of the top six in fortnight, all away from villa park. Is that realistic ? And is it really realistic to say we could have had that much of the ball against them with poor individual quality all over the pitch ? I saw quality in defence from okore and vlaar, in midfield from all of them, going forward from bacuna, jack, zog, benteke,delph and cleverly. I did, I'm not imagining it. It doesn't mean we think we are world beaters, in fact its because we aren't that we liked the performance overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Given Hutton and gabby please Bacuna is fine, Hutton should return to the bench. Are you mad? He makes errors all the time. He is not a RB end of. Hutton. Gabby. Shay. Aly. All need to play next game. I'm gutted. We battered them at so many points but I'm telling you now no media outlet will show that. I feel that benteke call will cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yeah but chances are, he would have scored. Don't forget that we still needed to score the pen. Without the keeper, as he would have been red carded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone complaining of a lack or realism how on earth can you say that ? We've all seen hundreds of chances in that position missed. I mean, that really does come across like you are deliberately negative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean we think we are world beaters, in fact its because we aren't that we liked the performance overall. The vast majority of your post agrees with what I've said about the game. All my original post said that Stefan replied to was that there was very little individual quality. It was a game of many mistakes in other words. I don't see that as an unrealistic statement. With that in mind, I've no idea what your point is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the keeper, as he would have been red carded. All I'm doing is saying that today's offside incident is similar to Sundays in that, both Benteke (assuming he'd have stepped up) and balotelli would have had similar work to do to put the ball in the back of the net had play continued accordingly I.e. We get a pen today and we don't stop playing on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 You said poor quality all over the pitch. That's nothing at all like what I said? You are a contrary fellow aren't you ? Nitey nite.

bose Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Couldn't watch the second half but just saw the Benteke incident. Horrible mistake by the linesman there. We're playing fantastic stuff though it seems. We'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 At 2 -2 I just knew , but that' s the Villa , as for the relegation fears I don't have any , we're playing with bundles of confidence , unlike most of the teams around us .

MONCABA Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Am I the only one fed up with Niall Quinn? Always seems to be so biased against us. The guys exactly the same whenever he commentates on Sunderland and Arsenal, two of his other former teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vancvillan Posted April 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2015 I checked the news but seem to have missed the tragic events in Manchester today that led to City fans holding a 90 minute silence. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) We have come such a long way in such a short space of time....and we deserved more from the game. Officials didn't help today but did at Wembley, so these things even themselves out. In terms of improvement.....we still have a long way to go defensively and I'm not just talking about the defenders i' m talking defensively about the whole team. When we don't have the ball we have a lot to work on ....set pieces we are vulnerable.....we need to improve on picking players up and knowing our responsibilities. However to go to the etihad and dominate possession is a major step forward. We now need points at any costs....hope we do it.

tomaspg Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I never thought we would get a point here, sure its bitter to lose the way we did. But there was plenty of positives. We might not have gotten the point/s we deserved but i feel calmer in regards to relegation after this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) This defeat really was a kick in the teeth. But after a bit of contemplating I'm left with lots of positive thoughts, after all. Went to Etihad and played them off the park, like we were the home team. Gotta have both balls and skills to manage that. Jack Grealish continuing his development. Its getting quite easy predicting this fella to be a strong contender for YPotY next season. Beating Spurs and Liverpool and then go on to be bitterly disappointed not to grab points vs City. Our mindsets certainly have changed! Brad Guzan seems to have a down period, but fortunately Shay Given has showed solid form and should take the reins for the remainder of the season. If the good work continues, and we sort out the defensive errors we're nothing less than top 7 candidates next year! And that's before counting in any enforcements brought in as a result of a stupidly rich new owner. Mohahah, good times ahead. [edit] Readability.
