[SparcMac]

I refuse to believe that City will remain shit and finish like 9th this season, so the have to win something soon!

So used to them having 15+ wins in row, so don't want to disappoint myself because they don't have it atm.

[SER19]

City really have exaggerated this injury crisis to an amazing degree

Mad how much publicity it got when last year all we heard was ‘not having any players is no excuse!!’

Absolutely. It's all part of the guardiola worship that allowed their cheating to go so long without comment

 

[The Firestarter]

Bitchass shot from Duran.

 

[Catt]

Villa had two huge chances already

 

[Irrational.]

Villa should be ahead!

 

[Santos J]

fecking hell

 

[2 man midfield]

All villa. Why didn’t Duran take that further in?

 

[Bon1803]

Duran was dumb there. Should have scored after 18 seconds.

 

[Berbaclass]

How didn’t it go over the line

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

Duran suddenly starting games now the Jan window is close

 

[AndyMUFC]

Should be 1-0 to Villa already.

 

[Woodzy]

Fun start. City just don’t play with any sort of intelligence any more.

 

[Rojofiam]

Unathletic backline and midfield for City again, and the team dynamics upfront aren't great either IMO. Grealish's been ghosting for over a year, Haaland needs the team to be playing well to have impact, and him and Foden are probably in each other's way often anyways.

Villa should not lose this game otherwise they'll be kicking themselves IMO. Especially when considering Rogers is great on transitions and Durán should easily impose himself on City's defenders within their own box.

 

[Withnail]

McCoist acting surprised by Grealish doing his foul winning thing.

It's almost as if he delays and waits for the challenge he knows is coming. Very clever that.

Yeah Ally, it's only his go to in every feckin game.

 

[Bon1803]

Is Morgan Rodger’s any good ? Not had chance to have a good look at him yet.

 

[Zoo]

Good goal!

 

[2 man midfield]

Tielemans made that. Brilliant

 

[FireballXL5]

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

Yay

 

[Withnail]

Nice goal... City staying in their slump it would seem.

 

[Woodzy]

What a pass

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Class by Tielemans

 

[redzombie]

hahahahahaha

 

[DJ_21]

Go on Villa!!

 

[Bon1803]

Good work from Rodger’s there. Looks like the hype may be real.

 

[AndyMUFC]

Really well worked goal.

It's not easy to turn round this run of form for City. It's been a dozen games now.

 

[cj_sparky]

Really good goal.

 

[Scorpy]

City are tragic

 

[DJ_21]

Some ST that guy. Wish we had a clinical ST like a lot of the teams in front of us

 

[Shark]

Pep is surely getting sacked or "mutually" leaving after this, surely. This is as bad as it gets, we've been rock bottom but never here.

 

[Old Ma Crow]

Too easy for Villa. Great goal.

 

[AdamColeBebe]

Took you long enough Villa. It's City.

 

[Irrational.]

Incredible ball by Tielemans.

Why we weren’t in for him in a cut price deal from Leicester baffles me to this day.

 

[MiceOnMeth]

Really well worked goal.

It's not easy to turn round this run of form for City. It's been a dozen games now.

Praying to the baby jesus that it's another dozen.

 

[kiristao]

Really great good that from Villa.

 

[Catt]

Villa 1-0
