I thought Lovren did OK actually, surprisingly.
Credit to Villa, the coach set them up well and they worked like dogs.
We simply *have* to get a result against Citeh and sow doubts in their heads. If we don't, this will all be in vain.
Yep, we do need to get a result next week but it was also absolutely imperative that we got one today as well, to drop 3 points to a newly promoted side (blowing our lead over City in the process) would have been terrible.
With 5 minutes to go when City had turned their game around and we were still getting beat it was starting to look like this weekend could be pivotal, it still may prove to be pivotal, just not in the way City fans envisaged.
