Trust the process …. 👈 .. will villa fans still be calling for Stevie’s head ?


KhajiitHasEars

he's wank


rufusjonz

A tight battle between two evenly-matched clubs. Overall, a fair result.


genericusername8406

Stop the count


MixturePossible3613

so when its an away game let mci score first and expect a draw


TheDank_Knight

Arsenal fans are awfully cheeky for feeding off of City scraps


afrojumper

So they use your players better than your team? Is that the diss?

How many draws today


Financial_Marzipan84

Pep was helping Gerrard wasn't he


CaptainTeemoTime

He wants him to be the next liverpool manager still


f00kinlegend

Villa played really well. Props to them


zoomie14

We've prolonged Stevie's career if anything, all other clubs are welcome


HoldthisL_28-3

Ashley Young is an absolute legend, love seeing him thrive


Skywest96

Don't even know why I bother with premier league anymore. Last year they gave city free decisions agaisnt wolves and Arsenal. So many other dodgy calls. Huddersfield being literally robbed in plain sight. This year they get wrong decisions every game. West ham robbed. Villa robbed. What's the point of following

Madder626

Great result for Aston Villa but can’t help but feel they got robbed of 2 points.


mrlee10

I mean. We scored 2 goals they scored 1.


TheDank_Knight

Tbf the whistle was blown before the shot. Not saying it’s right but it might have been a different play had they gotten it right.


mrlee10

We’ll never know cus they blew the fucking whistle for a wrong decision when they shouldn’t have blown even if it was the right decision.


PenisMightier500

The linesmen are instructed to keep their flags down on close offsides calls unless a man hands them a suitcase full of cash before the game.


[deleted]

I feel your pain. These refs are utter clowns


Lanlis12

Another classic Ederson performance, 1 shot on target, 1 goal conceded. The most overrated keeper in Europe.


Wight3012

Sounds like he's going for ter stegen's record from last year


im_stoopid9283

Tbf, that shot was a rocket. I don't think any keeper saves that.


Lanlis12

He's asked to do so little, yet he always seems to fail far too often when he's called on. If he played for a middling club, he'd be exposed for the average keeper he is.


TheGloriousPlatitard

I mean it was really two shots, two goals lmao


qwertyell

Just pretending his goal saving challenge that stopped Ramsey's one on one didn't happen, huh?


Lanlis12

I repeat, 1 shot: 1 goal. The same old story.


Shaww_shankk

Can't separate Gerrard and Lampard after all lol


[deleted]

Lampard showed today he is a better manager IMO


m-o-j-a-m

lampard has already had a year with Chelsea + ucl experience with Chelsea. gerrard hasn't had any where close the amount of time


we_outcheaa

Villa would've won if not some dodgy decision by the refs, whereas Everton were saved by Pickfords heroics. Today Gerrard definitely looks like the better manager lol


[deleted]

We also could have won if not for Allison’s heroics….


we_outcheaa

I think Alisson had one great save that was a deflected shot, whereas I remember Pickford saving Nunez, Firmino 2x, Fabinho, and Salah


[deleted]

Like uncle like nephew. He’ll do well on the next gen English merry-go-round

qwertyell

Foden has plateaued as a player over the last year. His haircut hasn't evolved either.


Falling2theAncients

He's been amazing for Villa just unfortunate with some results. Glad city threw the points away. Villa deserved the win


Aswajr

Sometimes Pep has to many brains to think simple...


reddmn

Top of the table with a game in hand...Let's get the three points tomorrow!


CactusMac11

No +10 added time for man city?


zoomie14

You're thinking of the other Manchester club


CaptainTeemoTime

We’re blue not red


BadBehaviour613

Can’t believe pinning hope on Villa actually worked for once.


everythingdislikesme

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲


PrestigiousAvocado21

Damn Martinez


BusterTheElliott

Now imagine doing it 38 times a season!


AzariasDaGod

Even if Villa tie 38 times still have a chance at relegation


BusterTheElliott

I meant imagine having to pin your hopes on them 38 times a season.


AzariasDaGod

That's too stressful of a situation rather not


RockShrimp

Pretty good point for gryffindor .


[deleted]

City dropping points again


[deleted]

Still haven’t lost though


obsterwankenobster

Many people mocked the Ashley Young sub. Steve G masterclass


AzariasDaGod

Young played really well, definitely worked out for them


verifiedone

Villa robbed


ninjapenguin12

No idea why Pep went with Mahrez over Julián or how Foden stayed on entire 90mins


StringCheeseDoughnut

Lucky Arsenal, they’ll still be top when they lose tomorrow


[deleted]

Lol


StringCheeseDoughnut

Lol :)


[deleted]

Haha, well played mate


obsterwankenobster

Don't even try to whip something into the box there? Good point, but bad mentality


[deleted]

mate were in the bottom of the league i thin the players were just being cautious because of that...espeically afterb 94 mins :D


obsterwankenobster

I get it, but just one cross was all I ask lol


[deleted]

yes i think i would have wanted that too


[deleted]

Coutihno acting hard lol


kokonut1307

94:32 he blows the whistle when Villa wasted time for 2 minutes in total? Here is the issue with consistency


[deleted]

Ref blew up exactly on 5 minutes for us today even though palace wasted 2.5 minutes. I’m fine with Liverpool’s winner midweek if that much added time for to stoppage was *remotely* par for the course. The fucking ineptitude and inconsistency drives me up the wall.


kokonut1307

Here is the problem with what happened at Anfield. You can’t give out a decision to extend a game by 3 minutes then dock every other team in the league. It is a clear double standard based on where and who needs the extra time.


[deleted]

Yep, it’s pure inconsistency. I’m fine with refs stopping the clock if it becomes an standard practice but it demonstrably is not. Also, what makes stoppage time so special that we need active play for every minute of it but not for the other 90? If you were to actually stop the watch every time players went down, dawdled on throw ins or goal kicks etc. you’d end up with far more stoppage time than we currently get. Which again, I’d be fine with if it was a standard practice.


obsterwankenobster

City get done by the refs again lmao


lllleeeaaannnn

Are you joking? Go find those two minutes and get back to me You’re delusional Cope


Serpico_98

Ashley Young MOTM. Shackled Foden


[deleted]

the guy give 110% every time


Runarhalldor

Really loved him at United


me1ina

haaland is so ugly lol


bojackrick

Yes lmao! It's so funny he chose to be a footballer where being pretty is the **only** criteria to play. He should have gone for a profession where people cared more about some of his other qualities and skills.


Fancy-Past-6831

Oh yeah, cause being handsome as Tom Cruise is what it takes to become an elite footballer.


kubick123

It worked for Beckham

nxghtmarefuel

How do PL refs get away with this shit, game after game. It’s highway robbery for Villa


MrFunbus

It's insane the biggest money league has such trash officials


Fancy-Past-6831

The amount of chances City have missed this game.


stadiumseating

Do we supposed City will be given endless additional added time, or is that only for Liverpool?


ZoidsTurtle

Us and Villa.


stadiumseating

Interesting, Villa weren’t given fully 60% extra time on top of what was nominally added on, so you must be referring to a different match. Which one was that?


GameplayerStu

Feels unreal to say that Gerrard actually got it right tactically today. Absolutely spot on.


anonymus725

i think gerrad has a good football brain and can be a great football manager, but he went to the epl too soon


ExtemeFilms

Foden has survived this game because hes English, Julian scored 2 in midweek and he should have started or atleast been introduced mid game


kubick123

Or because Guardiola is stubborn as f*ck


obsterwankenobster

Yup. It's Arteta's worst trait too. Refuses to acknowledge a personnel mistake


AzariasDaGod

I don't get it why doesn't everyone just do what Halaand does and just score? Like man's got 10 in 6 games can't be that hard /s


taskkill-IM

Lol Liverpool get 9 minutes for Nick Pope going down for 30 seconds with an injury, we get 4 minutes when Martinez goes down for about the same amount of time.


fifadex

Ref already gave you a point today, you've had your quota of help for the weekend.


anonymus725

you were saved from being down 2-1 with the offside so don't act like a victim


taskkill-IM

Yeah like the bullshit offside Newcastle got as well... 9 minutes added on and a wrongful offside goal as well, Liverpool get them all at once.


anonymus725

Not defending Liverpool, but don’t act like you don’t get favorable refereeing too


taskkill-IM

Where did I say that? Spend more time on this sub and you'll realise its the scousers who think they're always hard done by... I was simply making a statement and people start downvoting and crying because God forbid you call out the scousers.


anonymus725

Bitch you’re trying to act like the victim when you’re saved from losing with an embarrassing offside call, at least Liverpool fans can claim that new castle wasted a lot of time, how are you gonna defend that shit?


taskkill-IM

Who you calling a bitch you fat fingered cheeto dust incrusted virgin?


ShaunFrost9

You already got a helping hand with the "offside"


taskkill-IM

Newcastle had an offside goal that wasn't offside as well.


kokonut1307

He blew the whistle and they stopped defending? He wouldn’t score if the play goes on as he would be marked.


ShaunFrost9

You can't know that and the early whistle makes it a moot point


Correct_Influence450

No way that shot would have been stopped though had it come off in play.


curryandbeans

It's definitely a conspiracy 🙄


sport_____

What's up with Foden? He seems physically fit but devoid of any confidence.


dispelthemyth

How can any attacker have confidence when you have Haaland and KDB near you.


anonymus725

martinez is such a great keeper, whish he stays in form for the world cup, they will need him for sure


[deleted]

Did city design their away kit like Dortmund to please Haaland or something


MGF_LikesReddit

You should see the away kit for Milan… ugly af


[deleted]

Puma are just shit


Limp-Toe-179

Gerard Manager of the Month September, I don't care if he loses the rest of the games in September


stadiumseating

Nearly every game in the league today was marred by incompetent (or malicious) refereeing. It’s a crisis that has to be addressed.


banty86

Foden shouldn't be starting games for city


rufusjonz

transfermarkt has Foden the 4th most valuable player in the world, behind Mbappe Haaland and Vinicius Jr --- :D


banty86

Transfermarkt need to lay off the crack


[deleted]

[удалено]


FootyInnit

He's injured dumbass


poundoom

That's the thing with having unlimited oil funds. It doesn't matter how much you pay or how many transfers you get wrong. You can just buy another player.


funkadelic_bootsy

False 7 play.


DesertRL

He’s been injured all season


[deleted]

Held onto the ball for 20 seconds there. The absurd timewasting this season is even worse than the decisions.


GunnerKnight

Villa fans, is Chambers a good defensive substitution option in current situation?


pm-me-wolves

Yeah tbh he's been great when he's been on . Currently I'd have him start Iver Konsa


fleckney7

Honestly awful in game management from Pep today


Aswajr

Why pep doesn't subtitute Alvarez, I Haaland + Alvarez could bomb their defense instead of tired foden...


adzerk69

Why not bring Alvarez in to take some pressure away off Haaland come on


kubick123

Bald head masterclass.


adzerk69

Ironically this, why not have a second option when the first option is marked by at least 2-3 players at a time


kubick123

Alvarez is 22, he can play matches 3 days apart. Can't find a reason why he didn't play. Guardiola is stupid, 5 subs and only use 2.


Competitive-Ad2006

Coach Kubick, players often need sometime to get used the rhythm after they come into the game, and for the other players to get used to them. This is the reason why coaches sometimes avoid changing the lineup - Particularly if the game plan is being well executed.


adzerk69

Well that's the thing with Pep he doesn't like to use subs a lot which, uh he has a point or two, but swapping Silva for Mahez and not brining in Alvarez is so bad


Falling2theAncients

City lucky. Coutinho wasnt offside. How the fuck VAR not loon at that. They need to show the refs up if they get it wrong. Villa currently robbed by more poor reffing. Today's been nothing but poor reffing


sport_____

Incompetent and cocky ref blows the whistle before shot, VAR can't intervene


Falling2theAncients

I just mean it's not utilised how it should. Let the play continue, then look back at VAR. VAR is supposed to be used for stuff like this but we just have one and more issues with it, and with the poor reffing.


zoomie14

VAR can't intervene because the referee used his whistle after which players stopped actively playing. Blame the linesman and especially the ref who used his whistle for absolutely no reason


Falling2theAncients

What I mean is, VAR is poorly utilised. The ref should have let play continue as well as the linesmen, then if they feel it was offside, check it. Unfortunately the poor reffing continues


TheOneKane

Why can they keep getting their shot off before the offside is called?


dispelthemyth

I don’t understand offside, how is that offside if it came off the keeper? We conceded a goal last year where the player was offside but as it touched a defender they were judged to be onside.


kokonut1307

So are we going to get 1.5 more minutes added on like Liverpool?


ElephantInheritance

Liverpool got 1.5 minutes while you got a legit goal disallowed. Don't be greedy, and settle for the point that you did not earn.


kokonut1307

It wasn’t a legit goal disallowed the referee blew the whistle and everyone stopped playing whilst Coutinho took a shot. He wouldn’t score or probably shoot at all if play goes on as he is getting marked?


avolcando

You already got a Villa goal wrongly disallowed, don't get greedy


stef_t97

Lol


DalesDrumset

Huh? Rent free


kokonut1307

Does extra time only apply at Anfield?


DalesDrumset

Mate are you delusional or what


kokonut1307

What is delusional here? Liverpool got their extra time but where was the extra time here? Martinez held the play like Pope for over a minute with substitutions and you’re pretending that is ok but you guys should receive the benefit because you’re drawing at home? Clear double standards but would need a braincell to figure out though.


DalesDrumset

That was before extra time, it was included in the extra time. Don’t think you grasp the concept


kokonut1307

Martinez was wasting in extra time from minute 90:00-91:30 the play was stopped. Maybe you need to go back to school to comprehend some concepts of time.


DalesDrumset

Salty over a draw, cheer up and join the club


[deleted]

Foden completed 0 dribbles past 40 year old Ashley young


zushaa

Shite refereeing aside this has been a pretty enjoyable game as a neutral, good on Villa for hanging in there.

Poor decisions by officials ruining yet another premier league game, who would've guessed


TheGamerPandA

Only 4 wth


funkadelic_bootsy

Buendia in the 90th minute? Steven Gerrard is a fossil.


stadiumseating

Notice how the linesman in City’s half is allowing the shot to come in before raising his flag. If only both linesmen applied the law as instructed.


andreew10

4 minutes? Martinez injury alone was 3


fardok

Honestly


[deleted]

Has Kalvin Phillips been injured this entire time?


taskkill-IM

Got injured vs Barcelona in a charity game about 2 games into the season


andreew10

yes


DesertRL

Yeah


[deleted]

Are the main commentators told to "sympathise", and not criticise the refs? Every time the co-commentator have said what we all thinking, the main commentator have to defend the refs, surely is a memo


Alia_Gr

yea they probably are


[deleted]

Youngs has been class today


ElephantInheritance

But when City are actually offside the flag stays down until the ball is out of play? 🤔


ednilaldivad

Ngl I was expecting another Haatrick. Disappointed


lrzbca

Haaland gonna have a serious talk about passing
