Aston Villa vs. Man City Match Thread (SS - 8.00 k.o.)

Darkglasses

Aston Villa: Guzan, Lowton, Clark, Baker, Bennett, Weimann, Westwood, Delph, Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia, Benteke. Subs: Given, El Ahmadi, Holman, Sylla, Bowery, Dawkins, Lichaj.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Toure, Nastasic, Clichy, Javi Garcia, Rodwell, Milner, Toure, Silva, Tevez. Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Nasri, Dzeko, Sinclair, Kolarov, Barry.


Aguero and Kompany out, Barry on the bench. Milner starts against his former club. Tevez replaces Aguero.

No Vlaar for Villa, will be missed. Have to expect the usually scrappy/nervy City win.

Kylo Ren

Mon the Villa.

adox

If Villa can score first it could be interesting.

Darkglasses

Any sign of Enda Stevens even making the bench these days?

klose

Citys 3rd kit is smashing

Corvo

Benteke to score anytime at 23/10. Nice

adox

Jaysus Hart flapping about already.

RandolphEsq

Villa really up for this and started extremely well. Weimann's runs into the box will be key to feed off of a Benteke knockdown or get on the end of a cross.

Imagine if De Gea did that.

Kylo Ren

The two lads having the craic, eh?

Don't start! :eek:

Benteke is out of this world apparently.

I'm surprised City aren't faster to support when in counter attack situations, it's a bit negative when playing against a side like Villa, is it not?

RandolphEsq

haha wtf

Any more to add? I'm not saying De Gea is any better, just how it will be ignored because he's the English national team keeper

adox

Great news about Petrov. Nice touch from the Villa fans.

Darkglasses

Off the line by Tevez! We've a game on our hands.

Darkglasses

Dzeko coming on, anyone know why?

Edit: Rodwell took a knock.

Go away, it's boring at this stage.

Crock Rodwell strikes again, the glass man.

He's like the new Hargreaves.

Mars Bar

De Gea isn't playing. The whole "imagine if De Gea did that" outrage is old news. No more mention of De Gea.

klose

Poor rodwell

electrobanana

Villa doing ok so far id love to see them get something out of this from a Spurs perspective

Yeh that's what I'll do, I'll listen to something you have to say.

Nalz

Strong candidate for the worst wall ever made for Milners freekick just there.

You know it makes sense though. Obsessing over another team's keeper isn't healthy.

Had to laugh at it myself it was pretty shocking alright

Jelle1880

Dean is so frustrating, blows for absolutely every single contact.

Mars Bar

Xavi, NUTZZ, stop it.

Kylo Ren

Muahahahahahaha

Who say's I was obsessing? Am I not allowed to pass a comment?

I actually like Hart and rate him quite highly, that's not the point I was making at all, it wasn't a dig at him.

EDIT: Just saw Mars Bars post. I'm not arguing with Xavi or anyone, just clarifying a point.

adox

All City now. You would think if they go ahead Villa will collapse.

Ugh, referees.

Nailz

Argh, that's a waste.

Jelle1880

How is that a Villa free kick ?

Mystified here too.

Tevez

About time, cool as you like Carlos.

Neil3030

Ah jaysis. Good man Clark

Darkglasses

Goooooooooooooooal!

Ah Clarky

ctrl-alt-delete

Major fcuk up there, the worst possible punishment too.

Kylo Ren

Feck sake.

adox

And that's that.

eagle eye

Clark always seems to have a bad moment. This time it costs a goal.

Nailz

Gift.

Rekop dog

He may be at fault for more goals than any defender in premier league history. Abject on so many levels.

Jelle1880

I feared he'd miss though, went to the side of the defender.

Xavi6

Possibly a foul on Clark from Dzeko but what was he at letting the striker get so close in the first place? Suicidal defending again from Villa.

NUTZZ

Unlucky slip but casually taken by Tevez as usual!

Was wondering how long before you'd post about Clark. Kinda sad at this stage.

He was just turning him, an ordinary move for a defender.

Just pure bad luck.
