Topic: ASTON VILLA - Mingy and Moaning Moobs

[Machae]

Stevie would be distraught you'd have to think. To bottle it in the way they did in these circumstances.

They did better than expected, but shouldn't be conceding 3 goals in 5 minutes. Gerrard is as much to blame tactically for that capitulation

[Cesar]

Would rather they'd just lost 3-0 to be honest. Did all the hard work then collapsed.

100% this

[El Lobo]

The keeper looked dreadful on all three goals too, so well in Martinez.

[Schmidt]

Their lack of fight towards the end was absolutely pathetic.

It's easy in all the hysteria to forget it was a nothing game for them, Wolves similarly didn't show much after we finally got ahead.

A below average team lost a game, that's all there is to it really.

[Red Beret]

Hope you go down you cnuts. 😁

[AndyMuller]

Hope they go down next season. Bit dodgy that keeper decision no?

They are professional footballers, they were letting City take the ball with barely any resistance. It was absolutely pathetic.

That's not the mentality of Steven Gerrard that we know.

[El Lobo]

He wasn’t on the pitch though. They’re shite

[frag]

Took 5 minutes for another team to score 3 goals. Shit players, but tactically that’s extremely poor.

[Midget]

I will dislike Villa forever after this and 08/09 now. Finally get why so many people hate Villa here.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Stevie would be distraught you'd have to think. To bottle it in the way they did in these circumstances.

I didn't watch the game, but it seems that they collapsed after Stevie has taken Coutinho off, and Ings wasn't introduced until they conceded 3 goals. It shows that Stevie is just another English manager, suited for mid-table clubs, but that's it ...

[Schmidt]

That's not the mentality of Steven Gerrard that we know.

Unless I missed something Gerrard didn't lace up his boots for today.

[I've been a good boy]

Bottled it so pathetically, c*nts. Go down next season.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Unless I missed something Gerrard didn't lace up his boots for today.

He should find a way to motivate players even when there's nothing to play for. That's what makes great managers. Unfortunately i don't see Gerrard becoming one.

Lazy prick

[AndyMuller]

What was the issue with Martinez? He was tweeting this morning looking forward to today and all that and then some scruff starts instead? He was shocking on all 3 goals.

[El Lobo]

Are you serious? They were 2-0 up. Fucking annoyed at their capitulation but absolutely bizarre to look at that result and go ‘oh that shows Stevie hasn’t got what it takes’

[macmanamanaman]

I can get letting in 2 goals, quick one after the other.
But to concede 3 goals in 5 minutes is beyond pathetic.
All they had to do was old fashioned time wasting tactics to slow the momentum.
Quite deflated by this. Had no hope of getting anything from Villa but to get so close is gutting.

[downtown]

The most frustrating thing was that they looked REALLY comfortable at 2-0 up.

It wasn't as City were missing sitter after sitter or Olsen was having a worldie...

they just mentally capitulated after City's first goal....

Surprised Ings didn't come in for Watkins earlier though, Watkins alone could have had a hattrick but fluffed his lines every time.

Hurt his knee carrying a heavily stuffed envelope from Abu Dhabi?

It is pathetic but we know from experience far better teams than Villa can concede 3 in 5 minutes under pressure.

They’d almost be getting less stick if they’d lost 4-0. Hugely annoying but again, they did more than I think any of us expected.

What the fuck has gone on with that goalkeeper situation

Rested due to a knee injury in training

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Very naive game management by Gerrard you have to say,  bolster your defence with one of your subs if you're 2 nil up, he brought Ashley Young on when they were 3-2 down ffs

[elsewhere]

especially that 3rd is dodgy as fuck

[Fromola]

His subs were a joke.

Great 70 minutes from them and then complete collapse.

[AndyMuller]

3 goals conceded in 6 minutes wow. Mings is one of the worst defenders in the league.

[BER]

People literally saying they'd wish they lost 3-0 and then still having a go at Gerrard for losing 3-2. Just fuck the fuck off. City have done that to much better teams.

[Fitzy.]

Looking for someone who can remove my hastily applied Tony Daley tattoo…

[Fromola]

From a losing position? 3 goals in 5 minutes?

It's just an unprofessional collapse and poor game management. They put a perfect performance in and then just collapsed.

[naYoRHa2b]

It's irrational to be annoyed at Villa. They didn't owe us anything. They gave it a go but ultimately they are hugely inferior to City.

[Persephone]

Yeah I'm not getting the Villa hate, City are a very good team and could do that to 90% of this league. I think it's just the disappointment about losing the league but realistically did anyone think Villa could take a point let alone 3?

[Wghennessy]

Rested due to a knee injury in training

That was last week. Hes played a game and trained since then.

[Original]

Yeah apart from a bit of tactical naivety, if you're giving Gerrard down the banks you're the worst type of fan

[Original]

Rested due to a knee injury in training

Wasn't he tweeting about playing today?

[Coolie High]

It is would have been the perfect time to conjure  some dark arts, throw a defender or two on, a DM slow the game down, maybe he just lacks experience but it’s a poor showing given the circumstances.

Yeah, Gerrard can fuck off. Absolutely bottled it.

Should look into online banking, like.  Would be much more convenient.
Just kidding.
(I think....)

[PeterTheRed ...]

I think that people are pissed off more by the fact that Stevie has proven to be a pretty naive manager at this level. We will always love him for what he has given us as a player, but it seems that was a pathetic implosion by his team today, and he didn't do anything to stop it. In fact, taking off the only player who has the experience at the very top level has very likely contributed to the implosion ...
