Villa are going to lose 2-0 and it's going to break my heart

 

[Labadal]

Attempts 6-18.
On target 1-2.

To be fair, some shots have hit the woodwork.

 

[Manager]

It lets Yaya actually play striker or attacking midfield like he wants.

It's always about that. I'm confident a 2-man-midfield COULD work with someone like Fernando and Fernandinho, or Milner with his work rate. But not anymore with Yaya.

Problem with Yaya as attacking midfield is that he takes so few runs. If Aguero ís marked, who should Yaya then pass to? Hoping that Milner or Silva make runs then.

 

[Meier]

Fuck. Just barely again. How can we be so cursed today?

 

[Tc91]

Fuck me, how is Silva so good.

 

[Wilbur]

Silva is such an odd player.

Genuinely brilliant. Genuinely a wonderful player, but his end product is lacking, certainly in terms of goals (not sure what his assist record is).

Good subs by Lambert.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Villa keep the ball or get fucked

City will score eventually with that many chances

 

[Elchele]

I hope they'll at least reach CL.

Gundogod will save them

 

[L1NETT]

Yes Jacky boy

most talented player with the worst hair

i mean look at it

 

[Ushojax]

Grealish's hair looks absurd.

 

[Blablurn]

 

[TeegsD]

Not sure why Silva decided to run alongside Aguero then, should've tried peeling a defender away to the left

 

[KidA Seven]

Silva is easily City's best player.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

This kind of inconsistency is what almost gave Liverpool the title last season, this season Mou won't let this slip.

We weren't nearly given anything, we worked our bollocks off to finish 2nd

 

[Coldnoodle]

Good hands there on the stop.

 

[Wilbur]

Hitch, agree with you re: Kolarov. I really like him.

Great save, did well to hold it

 

[Meier]

Why is Yaya not taking those balls from Silva and making a run forward? Come on, they gave him loads of space.

NOOOOOO! I thought that was going in for sure. Right at Guzan though.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

What the fuck is this match?


Catching practise for Guzan, while Villa get absolutely hammered

 

[Elchele]

damn, they were playing in Dortmund? shit.
Zinnbauer is a tactical genius

 

[Blablurn]

damn, they were playing in Dortmund? shit.

Klopp out?

 

[Wilbur]

You can tell Cissokho's brain works slower than everyone else's in the world

 

[Coldnoodle]

Cissokho bossing.

 

[Gareth Bale]

At some point they should stop praising Silva for finding space so often, and look at why Villa are letting him play between the lines and not getting one of their midfield closer to him.

He's not exactly a difficult player to man mark.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

You can tell Cissokho's brain works slower than everyone else's in the world

His feet are always 2 steps ahead of his mind

It's brilliant to watch when it's for someone else


He's a solid enough defender when given a very specific role though imo

 

[cartoon_soldier]

KEEP THE FUCKING BALL VILLA

Did a wonderful job m8s, but at some point City had it in the bag before letting it go up for grabs.

Villa clearly deciding to keep shape instead though, it's a conscious decision innit

 

[Blablurn]

I need 2 games that come out this week. DriveClub and NBA 2K. I need them, guys.

 

[TheXbox]

Guzan is fucking killing me. Just let it in you bastard.

Disagree tbh, you can't legislate for another team going on a massively unexpected 11-game winning run to put themselves in the running. City's results were pretty consistent across the season iirc, aside from the away point they dropped in the first 6 weeks or so.

 

[Blablurn]

Barcelona have become the first club in the history of La Liga to have 7 clean sheets from their first 7 games.

VISCA BARCA

 

[Coldnoodle]

What happens if you dont get them

 

[Batongen]

City will win this in the end.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

<3 Aly

 

[Meier]

Look at that. Yaya actually made a move in towards the box and it helped! Imagine him not being stationary, a novel concept.

 

[Blablurn]

What happens if you dont get them

No idea lol.

I hope I get both as review copies. That would save me some money.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

That was a big ass deflection lol

 

[dc89]

Come on Cidyyyyyyyyyyy

Well that's not what my fuzzy memory tells me and I'll stick to my version when I tell the tale to my grandsons.

j/k m8.

 

[Blablurn]

dem new messis

 

[Meier]

Ahhh, thought Lampard would score that.

 

[Hixx]

City ain't scoring here. Had too many good chances, just one of those nights.

Fucking Villa.

GET THE FUCK IN YAYA

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE WRONG

 

[moojito]

Guzan: "My precioussssssss" when he gets the ball

 

[Broder Salsa]

Told you fucking idiots

 

[Ushojax]

The definition of inevitable.

Nobody even tried to block.

 

[Moobabe]

City ain't scoring here. Had too many good chances, just one of those nights.

Fucking Villa.

Good one - press the ball Villa. Don't let Toure walk it at you

 

[Gareth Bale]

Great goal

Villa clearly deciding to keep shape instead though, it's a conscious decision innit

Yes, and I suppose that's what you have to do when you're not so good individually at the back.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

haha

 

[Meier]

OH MY GOD HE'S DONE IT! YOU MOVED FORWARD AND YOU SCORED, YAYA!

What a fucking shot.

 

[Coldnoodle]

I bet Wes is dying.
