Pongo Waring Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Two bloody amazing performances. No on expected either lets be honest. Two of the greatest of many Villa supports lifetimes. But which Unai Emery Aston Villa Masterclass do you think was better - The Man City Win(home) or The Arsenal Win(away)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted April 14 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14 Both brilliant performances, but the Man City game has the title. nobody has done that to Manchester City in the last 10 years. It was a unbelievable performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Have to go with the Man City one: it was the worst a Guardiola team has ever been outplayed, period. Plus, we battered them for 90 minutes as opposed to 45 for the Arsenal game. Absolutely not putting down today's result, mind: shows how great it was that we can even compare the two.

ender4 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Easily Man City at home. That was the best performance I’ve ever seen Villa do. The Arsenal one we rode our luck sometimes in the first half. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) They were debating this on Bein Sports as well. However as noted, Man City was almost THE perfect performance. No team could have handled us playing like that. Arsenal performance maybe second as a brilliant away performance.

Tom13 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Just now, Pongo Waring said: Would we of beat Man City that day with Rodri in the side? This is why I'm inclined to go for today's performance. Also, we had the momentum back then. We've been under the cosh and have been depleted today. Won at the Emirates without our two first choice CMs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted April 14 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14 (edited) Arsenal better performance overall, for me. The Man City win felt like a one-off, a desperate overrunning of the opposition, an almost animalistic assault by a pagan horde. The Arsenal victory seemed more crafted and intellectually astute and beautifully sinister -- and therefore, importantly, reproducible -- like an attack by Legionnaires.

Adam2003 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Great performances both, but I think the Man City win was the best I’ve seen us play (watching since 1990). This was class but we have beaten top teams lots of times. That Man City win was unique (almost literally, no-one else has ever dominated a Pep team like that in many of the stats) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City also went in to the Villa game on bad form too, think they drew 2-2 to spurs if I'm not mistaken. Arsenal had a full strength team out, and were in brilliant form. We did this without Luiz and Karmara. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJCB Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I agree with the consensus that the city performance was the better one as we completely outplayed them. But there’s a caveat that they were massively weaker than usual (I think they played a midfield of akanji and Rico Lewis) plus we had comparatively fewer players out. Today was the other way round - arsenal at full strength and us much more weakened; plus we were away from home. City was the more impressive performance but today was the more impressive result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 City We've done this to arsenal at their place several times now, city was special, we've beat them before obviously but not dominated them like that, I think come the end of the year when city lift their 4th PL title in a row no one will have dominated them like that all season, probably longer Was good to hear the commentor today say we're the only team in the League to beat both clubs, hopefully add Liverpool to that before we're done, beat city, beat Arsenal x 2, beat spurs, if we beat Liverpool you can't exactly say we don't deserve 4th, we are competing with the big boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Yeah city for me. we played them off the park, no one does that to City. Actually much more should have been made of it, but obviously it's ickle CL chasing Villa ennit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 The game today was close, but we were brilliant second half and took our chances. The City game at Villa Park wasn’t close. We were utterly dominant and should’ve won about 5-0. I’m not sure I ever have - or will again - see a better Villa performance than that one.
