Ratings & Reactions: Man City v Villa

[nick76]

Meh

I’m ok with that.  Not happy with any loss but it’s no surprise and now we have a fresh first XI for the weekend.

Game on!

[Django_Zooms]

Brentford and Lille, start shaking with fear now. 

[NorthEastVillan]

We were in it for 45 minutes, the  City just kicked it up a gear and we couldn't get close. Few chances to get level at 2-2 but not to be.

Forget this one and move on swiftly.

[Herman22]

Played our second team against a team who have broken every financial rule there is. 

Forget about it, move on. 

[479Villan]

I liked the part where we scored. I didn't like the parts where they did.

I've seen worse.

[PaulC]

Not unexpected after seeing the team lineup. We did okay in patches but Foden a class above. 

[rbcuk]

Didn’t expect anything with the amount of players out injured. Now we have to make sure we beat Brentford convincingly 

[CVByrne]

We really are clinging onto this season. All the xG stats from recent games since Forest has us behind opponents. Even Luton 

We'll get found out soon enough unless we improve our performances

Stay classy

We got what we deserved with that line up. Never realistically going to get anything and so it proved. Set up to fail you might say. Frustrating as a full strength team would have really pushed them, that much is clear from how the game went. Hope they are rested and firing against Brentford. The expectation is nothing less than a win after that.

[romavillan]

Result not a fair reflection..should have had a penalty and if we aren't unlucky with the free kick and didn't gift them a third then the scoreline would be very different.

It was a free hit, we've had more problems not being able to put our best XI out so **** it. On to Brentford.

[Mantis]

Also, I think tonight is a good example of why you can't simply write off a game a certain way (many were predicting 5 or 6 goal drubbings) just from the lineup.

For clarity, here is an entire starting XI you could make with the players who didn't start today, ranging from injury to suspension to clearly needing rests:

Watkins
Bailey Buendia
Ramsey Kamara McGinn
Moreno Mings Torres Cash
Martinez

 

That's......not a horrible lineup.

Definately have to change his sticky pants after that.

I wanna like him, but he's a football snob.

Oh, that is why he looks like Kermit.

[Lerner's Driver]

Like watching a bored shark eat an injured seal. 

[Pinebro]

Thank God that game is out of the way

[PieFacE]

Given the team we put out....

 

 

Meh?

 

 

[romavillan]

Oh and their first goal was offside

[rubberman]

Meh. Did pretty well, but not enough quality depth in the end. Hope they do the same to spurs.
