People happier with a City win over a draw?

 

I'd have taken a draw but honestly it's the best result when looked at coldly.

I think a draw would be better but it's not the worst result - great seeing Villa being brought back down to earth

Right. I know they’ve just scored and it was a combination of two of their worst players  
 

But Is Pep back to his weird phase of not making any subs and being really stubborn and persistent with a system that doesn’t work? 
 

I mean who am I to critique one of the best to ever do it. But seems odd to only make one change and leave the likes of Grealish, Lewis, Savinho and Foden on the bench. 
 

I suppose the ends have justified the means tonight. 

Doku is not one of their worst players. 

[Teasy]

Best result for us.  Win Saturday and we're 5 points ahead of Villa on the same games with 4 games left and with a far superior goal difference.

Is this better than a draw then? 

 

Can't make up my mind if so 

It is worse for sure.

Yes, keeps villa back. We could gon5 points clear of them on Saturday now

[Sibierski]

Diasi epitomises why people need to calm down on Villa business model. Shite at Chelsea, then loaned for a fair whack and still shite.

[GallowgatePigeon]

As much as I feel bad cheering for one of the Sky 6.......YAAAAASSS! GET IT UP YEEEZ!

[Bimpy474]

We beat Ipswich and Chelsea, i think we'll need just one other win and it would be done.

[Danh1]

Fucking come on!!!!

Yes, city’s fixtures are easy. They will get top 5. Just need to stay as far ahead of Chelsea and Villa for me 

 

This is it^^^

[duo]

Ipswich is HUGE 

[ExiledGeordie]

City were always getting top 5 with their fixtures, far better to put Villa bang in trouble again.

He is terrible. Just because he’s suddenly found some end product doesn’t change that fact. 
 

He’s a headless chicken most the while. Exciting to watch at least. 
 

Edit - terrible in the context of what Man City should be expecting.

With a superior GD also.

Beat Ipswich and it's essentially 2 wins Villa need to make on us in 4 games. It would be a win and 2 draws if they drew this. Fine margins but yeah, keep the teams at the bottom of the top 5 as far away as possible

And/or Forest for me. They’re not invulnerable either. 

Yeah that’s fair, just think that they have nice fixtures as well. Just feel that City will do it no matter what. That point over Villa could be vital

[Novocastrian]

Get in, definitely the best result for us. They took us apart and hopefully on Saturday it’s as you were, 5 points behind us.

Never been so happy losing a bit of money. Unless it’s been a nightclub or stripclub.

It feels better. I'm going to go with that.

[Teasy]

Their are 6 teams competing here.  We need to finish ahead of 2 of them, it's absolutely the best result for us for one of those to get no points.

But I thought Villa had great substitutes?

Can see both sides I guess.

 

Maybe not having both teams lurking is better.

 

Pushes Villa further out.
