Duran has the same offside coach as Jackson then I guess ?

Probably

Tielemans is still 27?? What the hell? 

I still believe we should have bought Tielemans after we bought Kante back then. Guy is so good

AVL 2 : MCI 0

Grealish doesn’t get enough criticism for his lack of end product. £100m. 

They also wanted Samu who is scoring loads of goals in Portugal.

The next crop of English talent is good! Rogers+Palmer would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Streaky player. Goes through periods where he is excellent, but also has moments throughout the season where he drops off.

City look old.

I firmly believe that City bought Grealish to stop another top 6 from buying him. Same with Kalvin Phillips

This is the best Villa have played in months.

Would have fit our 2017-19 side and our 2021-22 side perfectly then

This Rogers kid is good.

Wish we played them now, a whole month is a long time in football..

You know I am over here thinking "if only we had played City later" and then I think, what must Nuno and Forest be thinking? How did they, with their form, lose 3-0 at City?

City is 1 win in 12, 7 win in 19.

The scheduling fecked us. If we played them after the Rodri injury, we'd have destroyed them

I mean I wish the return game was earlier. 

By 25th January, a lot of things can change.

Probably. Their team looks like they've given up now

We made this Aston Villa side look worse than they actually are

Which says a lot about us!!

Isn't it a mad thing to think I would sooner we were playing City this weekend than Everton?

How many years would you have to go back to be thinking that before these past few months?

Everton at Goodison is a far tougher test right now than City.

Is it just me or has Pep made Kova boring? He used to have a mad dribbling sprint once or twice a game

 

Damn Foden scored. Feckkk

He makes every player boring.

Look at Doku. Was an exciting player last season now it looks like Pep’s tactics sucked the individualism out of him. 

If I was a Villa fan, the two positions I would like to see improved on the most are the two fullback positions. Cash and Digne are good players, but they're a bit below the level they need to go up a level. I'm surprised Maatsen doesn't get any game time, there must be some serious problems with his game to be trusted in this league.

Manchester City might struggle to qualify for even the Conference League at this rate.

It will be interesting to see what impact the shortfall in Champions League revenue might have on their FFP 🙂
