Clearly Then in a weird way we agree, despite your initial argument.

Apart from one of our best chances where Pelle just skimmed the ball wide. We were made to look inferior by a really devastatingly good Manchester City side. There is no shame in that. Suck it up, move on.

Point one: Because the city defence did their job. They contained us. Point two: Glad we agree.

The performance against QPR was otherwise rather underwhelming. As you say, a moment of genius, like the individual talent shown by Aguero to pick us apart when we pushed on. The stats today showed that we had more possession, had more corners and gave away less fouls. We pushed them today, they had to turn it on. It wasn't perfect, and yes the lack of penetration from wide areas was a missed opportunity, yet that was far from our worst performance today, we played against a Man City team who gave us their best. That there are such obvious areas for improvement from players who have already shown better says that we have another gear to go to. It's up to Koeman to make that happen.

We were contained by a side who showed us the greatest respect by being at their best to take us out. It was a shame to lose 3-0 but not the end of the world, the only dark side is how exposed we looked when we pushed on to get something after City went down to ten men, very similar to the Skates cup game, they just picked us off. We played worse then today against Swansea and QPR to name but two.

We will play worse then that this season and win.

On many levels.

Just....

Jesus. Simply cannot justify that, a pity as I was looking forward to going.

Ah so close! Congrats to whoever is declared the winner.

Credit to Hutton, Okore and the Villa defence. That is the template on how to play against us.

An away point. Incidentally, anyone know why Bertrand has a whacking great scar on his torso?

Thank f**k for Nat Clyne.

Hutton is having a very solid game.

This so far feels rather eerily familiar. Quite unlike the rest of this season so far.

Fully expect to see Cork on for one of Mane, Long or Tadic at half time.

F**k me.

With four attackers I would expect us to be trying to run at Villa a bit more. Holding possession will only allow the defenders to fall back, it's like watching a Pochettino side again.

We did actually beat Villa on a Monday night live on Sky back in 02/03. Happy memories of the old Student Union with that one.

Palace 3-1 Scouse My aching sides!!!

Get in there Palace!!!

Outstanding. Sha-la-laaaa

As someone who departed Apple after the iPhone 4 and could compare the android devices I got to the latest generation iPhone thanks to work I would recommend Android without question. There is no question that the iPhones are great devices but the latest Android hardware offers far more pound for pound. It is my personal belief that the current Android handsets are at least a year or so ahead of the performance of their Apple counterparts but the technology is such now that even something not at the very sharpest end will still be more then enough for most people to ever need. The S5 is an excellent all rounder, but the HTC One m8 merits consideration thanks to it's superb build quality too. Consider the Sony Xperia Z3 if you prioritise camera performance. For an outside option the LG G3 has a truly outstanding quad HD screen. In short, you cannot go wrong with any of the top line droids which now all have SD card capability. The great thing is that there are no obvious lemons out there if you stick to the main brands. Whatever you choose i'm sure you will not regret it.

I respect that you are trying to moralise the situation. I do however reject entirely the theory you are placing. It inspires a notion of ever being in a position to change what would be happening in football. Clearly nonsense, that considers the possibility that professional footballers care about the average fan. Accept what you may never change? Ok....... I couldn't change Adam Lallana's beahvior..... yet he still chose to be a complete c**t.
