Did you hear, City manager post match interview, what a load of rubbish. City were in complete control of the game, he was forced into taking players who had been booked off, because he was frightened of the Villa crowd, influencing the ref. Now I don't know what game he was watching but, I thought the ref gave them a few decisions against us that looked a bit iffy ln the second half.
But are we bothered, we've heard it all before, we've got the 3 points, be great to actually find out what problem these officials have with the Villa, and who's influencing them UTV.

They haven't won in 4 or 5 years at Villa park, they asked him what did he think city were doing wrong over those games, he said he only knew about today's game as he wasn't in charge for the others, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the clueless idiot pep's number 2 for quiet a few of those defeats, all smiles and laughing trying to hide the fact he was sick over it.
complete control is laughable, they were behind after 6 mins and only managed to keep it level for 8 mins after their equaliser where haaland thought he was Frankie dettori and thought Lindelof was shergar. how that wasn't chalked off is beyond me.

Maresca is sort of right as he was there for our draw in 2022 but had left before they started losing.
Match recordings and analysis is a thing and there are players who have been there so he must have some idea why they've been losing.
I agree about the control, we had it all in the first half, 95% possession against City for the first 10 minutes is astounding.
Second half we did let them have a lot of the ball but we were mostly in control, I still think they got enough opportunities and positions that a good City side would have at least equalised.

I forgot he had the spell at Leicester. I'll give him a little more credit then, but not much lol. I thought his interview was quiet disrespectful and reminded me a bit of Arteta. they had a couple of good chances, we had a couple of good chances, stats say they had more shots but quiet a few of them outside the box and mostly shots you would expect any top level PL keeper to save.
for a few seasons now we have often mentioned on here that Emery often doesn't have a plan B when the slow build up and possession game doesn't work, with the speed of our attacking players now we have that plan B.

Yep agree and that plan b whack is pace which we lacked over the years and now we have plenty of pace out wide,also we have a plan c aswell madjo.
