City with 2/3 possession and more xG. But Villa are just tearing them up on the counter. Should be 3-0 really.

That turn and pass from Tielemans for the goal was tasty. Always thought he would have been a decent pick up for us and was surprised we weren't linked more seriously when he was on a free.
 
Villa getting Rodgers for £8m and add ons is one of the best transfers in recent PL times. It's rare a young player from the Champ adjust so seemlessly into the league, let alone being one of the better players in a CL team.

Villa very much in control here. They need to stay compact and keep breaking when City throw more forwards. Watkins off the bench is a ridiculous option given the shortage of decent strikers around, too.

Emerys main worry will be Grealish getting Cash sent off. Grealish is not very effective but there's nobody better at drawing a foul.

I wanted him as well, but the counterargument was that he was lazy out of possession, which would have been a major issue in a Klopp team, given the work ethic required. Interestingly, if we had signed him, we might not have gotten Gravenberch, who arrived with a similar reputation. However, both players have significantly improved in this area at their new clubs.

From Tielemans’ perspective, the move to Villa made sense as their training ground was closer to his home than Leicester’s. This meant he didn’t need to uproot his family, including his children. In the end, it seems to have worked out well for everyone involved. I still think Grav has a higher ceiling.
 
Villa really need to make one of these breaks count. Two already this half. One fucked up and one offside.
 
How the hell did Villa find Morgan Rogers?

Same way they found Duran. They have these things called scouts that watch young players and decide they'd look right in the Prem.

Something that's a totally foreign concept to us.
