[Music] [Music] hello welcome back to up the Villa a big one just before Christmas Aston Villa V Manchester City at Villa Park Early kickoff on Saturday joined by Justin how you doing mate good day how are you I didn’t know I was going to say good day good man I’m all right there’s a clubing crisis coming back to Villa Park and it’s not Aston Villa it’s Man City who are in well I mean it started off that they were in a bit of um a poor runner form then a bit of a blip then a crisis and now it’s just unraveling into chaos so on this episode we’re going to go in depth on Man City we’re going to take a look at them we’re going have a look at how they’ve been playing what’s been going wrong and just touching on man city as well we’ll talk about Villa and where we’re at Etc um and we’ll talk about another player that doesn’t play for us anymore we’ll have a little chat about Jack greish so Villa fans Man City fans make sure you smashing the likes on this episode subscribe to the channel if you’re new and get involved in the comment section down below just in Man City this season it’s not going very well and and it feels we’re getting to a period now where I’m looking at Man City and I’m thinking I’m seeing no characteristics of what I have seen from a Man City team from the journey that they’ve been on under Pep Guardiola I remember going to Villa Park and us getting absolutely smashed I think it was that game when there’s that video outside Villa Park and you can just hear the Villa fans like singing and we’re like five nil down and it’s really eerie and dark and you know we’ve had some real tough times where their football has done some serious serious damage at Villa Park the way that they play the way they move it around the the power of this man City team that we’ve seen in recent years are able to just wall through teams and a lot of that now is completely evaporated and I watched them against Juventus I watched them against Manchester United and like what I’m seeing is like just players like walking around and not pressing not engaging all the heads that just look like they’ve got no confidence and looks like some of their legs have gone slightly and I think recruitment has been a a massive massive problem for him I think they’ve they’ve had a couple of Windows where they’ve got it horribly wrong they’ve sold key players like Alvarez harand needs a bit of a break he can’t get one you know they’re playing with two out andout Wingers sometimes with daku and and sveno whereas before they were playing with greish and he’d slow it down and they’d have more control I’m watching pep and yes Rod’s out and you think him you know that he’s F trying to find some solution whether it’s Personnel whether it’s tactically of moving players around he can’t find the solution and I think this sometimes you know I think that big question has always been around Pep hasn’t he like what would he do if he had a bad team and now he’s got a bad team and he can’t find the answers so I think they are in a real dark place on the pitch and and I think hopefully come Saturday we’re able to add a bit more pain to it carries on yeah yeah I mean because what we don’t want V fans is we don’t want the normal and I’m going to say so hopefully it don’t happens I they’ve got one win in 11 just don’t be that team Viller at the weekend that just let them turn into like Prime ticker attacka and they back so yeah let’s hope we don’t do that but what have you made of them Justin because it is a is a big talking point of how they have fallen off a cliff you know they’ve won four in a row and this season they’re a shadow of their former selves yeah I think it is the talking point in the Premier League this season you know you look at why Liverpool’s Resurgence Forest how well they’re doing you know other Chelsea they’re Resurgence but the big the big question this season is what has happened to Man City like you say for being basically Untouchable for season the first team ever to win back to back to backto back titles you just didn’t see a drop off like this happening you know I I didn’t see it happening and then pep after the game yesterday coming out saying he doesn’t know he doesn’t know what to do that’s mindblowing from a manager of his experience what he’s won in the game uh how much he’s lorded as as as a genius to not know how to turn it around and I think it’s a lot of things have happened at once to them I think they’ve obviously had these charges hanging over them apparently that’s done now the the um that that the hearings have been heard and we’re going to hear probably March what the actual sanctions are going to be have they had an incling about that do the players know that that that there’s a huge thing coming down the line from him nobody knows have they switched off because they know a lot of them might probably be leaving in the summer I don’t know I think you’ve also got to add into and I I wrote it down here in my notes for for today is that a few of the players look like the legs have gone you Kevin De bruyne 33 years old he does not look half the player he was even last season he doesn’t affect the game anymore he’s invariably get dragged off but you look at the Players around him I thought it was a mistake bringing gundan back he’s 34 you’ve got ktic who’s 30 you’ve got silver who’s 30 you got Carl Walker’s 34 you know they’ve got a team full of players that are that basically all seem to be running out team at the same time added to that the key injuries to like their most important player rodri you know he goes and wins the Balon door and he’s out all season basically that’s a huge blow but nothing that other teams don’t have to deal with you know and they’ve got an embarrassment of riches and again I think another point you made was that they’ve bought poly probably for the first time you looking like that NES yesterday from walls huge huge signing to them MoneyWise and he hasn’t done it for them I I really don’t like Dau I think he’s he’s all Bluff and fluster he gets on the ball and he he you know I think he picked the ball up on the left hand side yesterday and I just in my head I said let’s just wait for the 12 stepovers and that’s they came there’s no end product he’s like he basic reminds me of Adat Tora you know he looks good he’s got he’s got the physique he’s got the stature he’s got all the moves but there’s no end product to him you know you got a player like Jack or no what come to who can’t get in this team still who’s been totally under Us by prep he had one good season but he’s you know he got everything coached out of him that we loved about him and it’s not happening and then to top it all off the player that scores 50 goals a season has just stopped scoring goals you know so we all know how hard it is to win games the Premier League at the best of time when you got a striker that’s guarantees your goals that just can’t it a bond door add it to all the other problems they’ve got it’s a recipe for disaster and I didn’t see it coming um you know I tweeted yesterday excuse me you know man city are really poor side and they are you know and I got the inevitable replies oh doubt out now we’re playing at the weekend look any team in the Premier League on their day is a threat to anybody and Man City and no different to anybody else they have got wonderful players still and the players that aren’t following the foden and and the silvers and all these players we’ve spoken about at any given moment that it can click you know and and that run has gone on long enough now everybody expected this run to to end um a while ago didn’t they you know and it hasn’t so who knows but we’ve got to try and take advantage of where they are and make sure we keep them where they are we have got to try and be the best version of ourselves on Saturday I think that’s very important I think what’s happening as well is there’s a there’s a lot of Man City players are sort of looking around and needing help from others to get the best out of themselves as well and and I think they’re not sort of going on the pitch fully focusing just on their own game they’re they’re having to need help from others and we’ve touched on sort of like Bernardo Silva’s one of them I think gan’s one of them Kyle Walker’s one of them you know gundan in the middle that that’s just not working you you you can you can run through that and I think we’ve got the average positions here from the game against Manchester United and what you can see is they’re still fairly fluid in what they’re trying to do that they’ve got the three at the back vardal can sometimes go into that Central Midfield area which we saw yes well we saw against Manchester United we’ve got the left back that’s going to that’s going to bomb on sometimes if it’s you know AO Lewis and you’ll see him going into Central Midfield and you can see gardio that’s going to be the player that’s that’s offering that width but you can really see that there’s that three at the back and I think because they’ve not got rodri instead of Silva being that player that’s out wide and he’s offering that width his position is a little bit more Central you’re having to see de bruy that’s going to be moving out to that right hand side and just that front four five just isn’t as fluid and the game against Villa at the weekend I imagine it’s going to be Rico Lewis that comes back in at at left back Stones was on the bench so the team can be anything because Pep’s searching for that he’s searching for the answer and he hasn’t found the solution yet so if we take a little look now at some of the areas that that what we can expect to see from from Manchester City and if we have a look now at the um some of the images of when they have got the ball and what you can see is Waller was just touching on so we’ve got the back two which is always an area that that I feel like Aston Villa are very very good at exploiting and I think this is an area that we will try and exploit at the weekend you can see gardial from Center back has gone into Central Midfield and you can see Nunes has gone out wide and offering the width on that left hand side and daku has come inside a little bit more Central we’ve got Silva hugging the touch line we we’ve got Kevin De bruyne who’s drifted to that right hand side as well and then you’ve got foden that’s just in that sort of number 10 as well so there is rotation there and that’s something that we can expect to see within their system again we’ve got doaku out wide we’ve got to make sure that we’re really watching when Man City get into these little areas that the little rotations the fod and come short then we’ve got a runner going in behind as well so I think that’s something that Villa have got to make sure we are fully aware of again we can see that the width is coming through this area through here on this side and this side um and and and I think they’re not committing as many players forward because I think they’re worried about being short in these areas at times again we’ve got another scenario where uh Nunes has gone wide so these are all sort of like the the buildup of of what they’re trying to do and the areas that that they want to hurt teams and I think if we have a little look now at some of the areas that I think Villa can possibly get joy from this game we’ll do the predicted lineup tomorrow so we’ll predict the lineup Etc but Manchester United played with a five at the back and posed some problems Villa have been starting to play with a five at the back as well so one thing that I think we touched on about the the reasons why we think they’re not as good man city and the big thing that I’ve spotted this season is the Manchester City press that it’s it’s just not the same it’s not as engaging like you’re allowed time on the ball you’re allowed space and there’s a lot of times I’ve been watching Man City at times during games where they’re just walking around they’re just drifting around and and I think that’s something that he’s very unlike a pet team like you don’t get time on the ball but against this Manchester City team this season you get Tom on the ball and we’ll start to see from from where Manchester United start to get joy like this was the the B pass that that Ahmad was able to get on to really good running and I think you know I was just watching this game Thinking Ole Watkins Ole Watkins just run just press put them under pressure and that’s something that I have really noticed but again the goal that they conceded time on the ball look how much time Martinez has got there’s not a Manchester City player anywhere around him and he’s able to take a touch Bring It Forward play that long ball so if you’re power Torres at the weekend as well you’re looking at that thinking I’m gonna have Tom on the ball here so I think Villa have got a lot of different weapons to hurt this Manchester City team because if we do play vertical we do play straight through them on that half turn we’re going to be able to expose the Manchester City backline and there’s two areas that that I really think are the areas where you can really hurt this Manchester City team and it’s this area it’s the area behind the back three or four and it’s the area that’s in behind the Manchester City Midfield those are the two areas you can get the ball in those areas you are going to cause absolute chaos for this Manchester City City team again we can see the ball it’s in behind that zone there if you’ve got those players that are in behind that Manchester City Midfield like I showed you earlier then you’re going to pose problems that long ball over the top ahmad’s able to bend his run and get through there as well um so that’s something as well we’ve got another scenario here where the Manchester City Midfield is quite flat it’s quite a square on we’ve also got that space through there that is the area that I want Morgan Rogers to be able to get on the ball and he’s then able to be look for those passes that can go in behind for someone like oie Watkins and then again playing out from the back we know that Villa are going to be playing out with martinez Tom on the ball a lack of a press so these are all the things that I’ve highlighted that I think in turn Villa will be able to exploit as well but Justin what have you sort of made from like actually like watching Man City this season yeah I think I think everything they normally do that successful has just stop working hasn’t it and and I do come back to the age profile of their players and their real key players and I think belief a lack of belief you know I always think that to get to like an elite level you your players obviously got to be very good but they’ obviously got to feel comfortable there and know that they are at that level and they are better than everybody else and this Runner form has literally D dragged and they just you can see their confidence levels are on the floor and they don’t believe they can win at the moment and to lose that game against man united the way they did you know the last few minutes and know we did the same against foris but you know we’re not a team that’s just would for back-to-back Premier League titles you know just doesn’t happen to Man City so I think it’s it’s a few factors isn’t it it’s it’s them the belief going pep seems to out have ideas thereare I say a little bit I mean basically alluded to that after the game and and players out of form which is something that we know all about this season you know we had a brilliant season last season and then we just suddenly hit a bit of a wall this season with a lot of our players that were outstanding last year not been able to get themselves back up to the levels that we found they found themselves in last season and I think to an extent that’s what city have got you know they’ve got players in every single position on their day world class and they’re just not showing that are they and long may it continue and hopefully at least at least another week hopefully yeah to be fair I don’t think anyone in football feels sorry for Man City to be honest nope like like you you You’ had a you’ve had a good you’ve had a good run here lad so um yeah I don’t think anyone feels sorry for you but let’s tell you what sorry to cut over you let’s just see how good pep is then because he’s had a run ever since he walked into management he’s been at clubs who basically they were the best in that League anyway you know Barcelona Bayern Munich and they had unlimited funds most of his clubs City especially and he’s been a to go out and just keep buying and buying and buying the best players and now it’s not working for him so and he hasn’t got a transfer window well he has but you know they got to be careful what they’re doing now and they failed the last couple of transfer wiers I think so this genius coach okay Coach yourself out of it let’s see let’s see how good you are yeah it will be interesting so switch it back to Villa then um I get your thoughts on sort of like where you feel like Villa at we had this one one comment over the weekend that really like sort of stuck with me in my head and it was along the lines of uh Forest were Forest are absolutely flying Villa have been really poor and had no chance at the weekend and I was kind of like well going into that game we were level on points with Forest and we’re only three points behind Forest so if Forest are flying like I I just found it a bit strange that that context of of of how sort of they were sticking it on Villa but praising someone else when there’s fine lines between the two teams on reflection I think I’ve done two episodes since the game and I think both times I was just very disappointed with the way in which we lost I I I actually feel like parts of the performance were were pretty fine um if we won that game one nil we would be saying classic emry Etc and and um you know move on to the next one but I think the manner in which we did lose we do need a bit of a reaction and I think this probably is the best game that we could have because we know what’s going to be needed and what type of performance he need needed to play against this man City team like we we’ve spoke about how bad man city are but you know that they can probably still turn it on and play really well and we’ve got to be at our best to put in a performance that we can get the victory so I think it is probably a good game for Villa because you can’t go into it with sort of like feeling that we can just be average we’ve probably got to be at our best I imagine emy’s got a full week so it’s going to be T week tactically pinpointed how we’re going to play against this man City team but Justin uh you were at the city ground then so yeah um H how are you feeling now you know a good few days after that game I’ll tell you one thing that that that you just reminded me of we were walking out the game on sun on Saturday night and uh I was walking behind two Forest fans and I heard them both said I tell you what if this car r i we could have a go at the title next season and they were genuinely talking like that so that just shows um I think they’re a little bit deluded at the moment Forest they’re having a good season now um what was the question sorry I’ve just forgot what you said like like the how are you feeling like going into this but sort of after the game at the weekend yeah I mean we threw it away did we you know for can say what they’re like they are having a good season but that we definitely threw it to the and we we switched off we were defensively poor we made poor decisions in poor areas and and we got punished it’s happened too many times and we can’t keep sitting there game after game after game saying know you know we’ve got to get better we’ve got to get better we have got to get better we got to make better decisions especially seeing games out when we’re winding up in the 87th minute but man city will know all about that because they did exactly the same you know the day later so both teams coming into it in with I’m going to say we’re in patchy form they’re in poor form we’re at home we’ve got to be confident we’ve got to be positive you know we’ve got a really good side and if we can you know we’ve won three out of those four that’s the way I’m looking at it uh and we’re going into it against a team that’s lacking belief lacking confidence and I want to I want to double down on it I want to make sure we start really well I want to make sure that we we we get the first goal and defensively we’re solid and we we we basically put them to the sword and and you know we beat them at for the part last season there’s nothing saying we and they were in far better form you know that that spot they they they they runoff didn’t it after we beat I don’t think they lost again after that so yeah I’m going into it every like I do every single game thinking that you know we’ve got a really good chance and we we are currently sick with 25 points after 16 games the last four seasons finishing the top four you’re looking at 67 71 71 78 so you want to be in the early 30s by the halfway mark if we you know we are what five points off 30 points with three games to go to the halfway mark if we can win a couple in that next three that puts us just over 31 points which you know ain’t going to be a million miles away from from qualifying from the top four again next season and we haven’t had a really good half of the season so if we can get into the halfway mark in decent position 30 yard points I think that gives us a decent you know hopefully do a little bit of business in January and I think we’ll be in good good uh position to kick on in the second half of the season but this is a huge game but I think we’re more than capable of winning it I do yeah I do too I I think if we are anything like near our best I think we can we can definitely win this game somebody who probably hasn’t been anywhere near his best since he left Villa to a standard of which we all probably hold him in such a high regard of of how good of a player he was for us is Jack greish and his goal scoring run at the minute is over 40 games now without a goal and I think when he left I was I think when he left for about a year for that season that he was playing for Man City first time I didn’t want to see him win anything I just didn’t like it hurt he you know he was a player that we all loved Etc but once he won one I was completely over it and and like I hold no sort of any ounce of any anger or or or just I I I do still really like him and and and stuff like that and I I do wish him the best in everything that he does really because you know he’s he’s a likable player and he was he was class for us weren’t he but at Man City like I just I just don’t get it I really don’t get it I I slightly understood how he played for Man City when he’d keep the ball knock it back full control I I understood why he did that for Pep because there’s so many creative players keeps the ball but I I just don’t I just don’t get what goes on because he’s on the bench now he might start he’s been playing in central Midfield this season like what what what do you think of it like you know like do think but do you think I think when he looks back on his career obviously he’s going to look at his trophy cabinet and he’s going to be like oh yeah Champions League premier league but as an actual player I don’t think he enjoys it there you know I I good to he left understood why he went there and he has achieved what he wanted to going there but he will never ever ever have had the feeling of winning if he won one thing at it would have meant more to him than winning 10 things at Man City and he canci he’s B the face that it was a good move and I suppose financially has been um trophy wise it has been and ultimately I suppose that’s what football’s about winning things but he he would have they would have built a statue of him at the Villa and he would have absolutely loved it um and he he chose to throw it all into to win things and that’s his choice that’s his career you know nobody’s AR here to tell anybody to do anything with their life they do what they want to do and and I I’m good at he left I think ultimately on the pitch he’s just declined he’s got worse and worse and worse what frustrates me most about it is I watch Dau playing on that left hand SED and he’s allowed to do what he wants he’s allowed to go at Players he’s allowed to try and tight them on and it s it always seemed to me that that he basically held Jack back he wouldn’t let him do that every time he fronted a player up on the left side you’d have to turn back around and lay off it’s a shame you know and I always said I would have him back at Villa but we are getting to the point now at 29 30 next season where it I I don’t know I’m stared to think I’m I’m not sure I I do want him back now thing is though justtin that the problem you’d have with that is if someone said to me you could have Jack greish or Tyler dibling I’d have Toler diblin I think I haven’t seen enough of diblin over a longer period of time I think he definitely looks an absolute player and a prospect but I’d want to see him over I mean know talk the money they’re talking about for him would be huge a huge gamble at the moment I think he’s he’s he’s a talented lad I think if you had prime Jack back at Villa if he came back now in the in the jary window hypothetically and you got him back to 90% what he was when he was at Villa he would be brilliant on that left hand side for us position we just can’t get anybody to play well in currently he would be great but as I say um now he’s age and the money and everything that it would cost to get him back we are close now for me personally to saying that it’s just not not worth it now um unless he came back on like a threee or really low low fee because we’ve got to be very careful with with ffp and we can’t just let’s say we saw one of the forwards in the summer for a really high decent amount of money I wouldn’t want to spend a lot of money bringing jaback just for the sentimental reason of bringing jaback it would have to be for the right reasons and and now you know I don’t know whether he could reach those Huns again I don’t because he hasn’t played that well for so long you’d be basically blind if it wasn’t Jack be and you bought that player from City who hasn’t scored for 40 games yeah and was a 100 million pound player you’d be going what are we doing you know he has done it for two seasons yeah because I I remember when I um when I do transfer Hub and we are firing it back up in Chang guys it is firing back up but you know like when you get linked with a player and it’s like he scored like five goals and two assists and you look at it and and and and you know a lot of the comments always like yeah but he go scoring like if you looked at gish’s stats like they’re absolutely awful like you’d be signing him purely on historical reasons and what what he did for us but that era has gone you know Dean Smith’s not here anymore we’re not floating around the bottom end of the Premier League we want players that can impact games now at the top end and jacket his best fantastic I’d have him back tomorrow but at the moment there’s too many question marks over can he reach those levels again I don’t know yeah I agree so problem is just him you know the early kickoff you don’t back the early kickoff I did because what happens is the favorite doesn’t win now who’s the favorite in this who would be you got City hav’t you okay so so Villa V will win then so right what’s your score prediction going to be Justin oh God I mean I I’ll put this down definitely put down both teams to score that’s that’s without question um I just hope we can Nick it over the line I think it’s going to be a really really tight game very similar to the farest first half when both teams were just feeling each other out I hope we can be the aggressor that’s what I want to see on Saturday I want to be the aggressor in the game and I’m hoping it’s our day and we can sneak a 2-1 or even a 3-2 I think it could be a few goals in it maybe yeah I’m going to go I’m going to go 21 Villa I think we Nick it I think we Nick it I think do you know what sometimes happens in football I found this quite a lot you know if you have a game before where you can seeed lateer on sometimes that next game you do the the exact opposite and and and it goes for you so one thing that I haven’t mentioned is stay in the game because this man City team fold right we’ve seen in the Champions League with they 3-0 up and Drew 33 yeah yeah we’ve seen it against man united we’ve seen it against was it um Brighton that they were they were pretty comfortable and then they they end up losing so stay in the game we get a late goal I think we can get a winner I think we can get a winner so there we go that’s our match preview hopefully you’ve enjoyed it so make sure you hit the like button comment your thoughts and subscribe up the Villa up the
