Ratings & Reactions: Man City v Villa

[Django_Zooms]

Seventy six days to relax, not watching the Villa fail.  Enjoy ice cream, beer and BBQs. And wear sunscreen.

All singing Super Jackie Grealish

We were exceptionally mentally weak before Gerrard came in, and I expect we'll stay that way long after he's gone. Can't pin this all on the manager.

Cash doing his best Lowton impressions on the back post. Coutinho should have stayed on he was looking dangerous.

[HeyAnty]

Awful substitution when we go 2-0 up.

25 seconds added onto the 4 despite two minutes of stoppages, numerous penalty shouts, Fernandinho should have gone.

Also, should it actually have been a corner for their second goal?

One goal came after a clear Villa throw in was given to City. For the whole game the ref couldn’t give them decisions quickly enough.

Why would they trash their own goals, ****

[OutByEaster?]

Decent game, gave the nation some fun on a Sunday afternoon in a game that doesn't really matter to us.

I thought for the most part we played well, their first goal changed the mood to a massive extent and it's hard to do anything about that; when a really good team suddenly has momentum, motivation and belief it's a tough game - but I thought we showed enough to be positive about next season and there's stuff to build on.

I don't think we're as far off as it might appear from a distance.

Bring on the summer.

If I was Lincoln City playing Real Madrid, I'd still find it unacceptable to concede three goals in less than five minutes. Pathetic and weak, there are no excuses for that regardless of how solid you are for the rest of the game.

What makes it worse is that none of us are really surprised, Villa are a mentally and physically weak team who buckle under the slightest push.

Inexperience got exposed

Mistakes are significantly more likely to happen when your players are running on fumes

Waiting until after the 83rd minute to make 2 of your 3 changes doesnt help that

Its not Scotland where you can get away with it against some low quality opposition

Still, credit to how we were set up for most of that match

[gwi1890]

Evertonians and Forrest fans were a disgrace but City fans are heros no doubt.

[Rustibrooks]

The second half summed up our whole season pretty much.

They’re Mancunian

Loudest chants in the stadium in which the home team have just won the championship are our away fans singing 'Super Jackie Grealish'. Villa ftw.

Looking for a silver lining, at least Liverpool fans won't be able to go on forever about when they won the quadruple

True true.

**** Man City bunch of **** words removed

I wonder why that is. As a fresh Sanson sits on the bench. Gerrard has ran these players into the ground whilst playing SHIT football and getting NO results.

[VillaFaninLondon]

Plucky losers again. Same sh*t different day. Effing fed up with it to be honest. Only we could be cruising at 2-0 and then concede 3 goals in 5 minutes.

 

At least the season is now over. Today just encapsulated it, bits of quality but just far too many weak, spineless, bottlers in this team. 

 

Let's pray next season will be different and we can finally have a season where we're competing with the big boys again. 

[PaulC]

We put in a good show. Gerrard got his tactics spot on. Man City are relentless. We move onto next season

[Sulberto21]

I love denim hot pants.
