By way of an introduction, let me try and keep the time-honoured tradition of David-trying-to-flog-you-things-he-does. Here's who I am and what I do in a little mini-thread.

David Mooney waiting to read the news in the BBC 5 Live studio, behind a microphone with the station's branding on it.

Since BA have a podcast sponsorship slot available, I've got one I can suggest they throw some money at.

I think it came down to Nico not being fully fit. The solution was to have Stones in at CB and step up into the middle, meaning it needed Gvardiol to sit from LB instead. As soon as both Nicos came on, it looked more stable, but still pretty toothless.

David Mooney @davidmooney.co.uk · 1d

Yeah, you have to assume Nico wasn't fit for the full game, otherwise it's a big mistake not to start how they finished. They were much more stable at the end, but it was ultimately just another flavour of toothlessness.

They're obviously still building towards what the newest Guardiola-era City looks like and they're still miles away from it. Until then, you get games like today where it's not a good performance but it's not a million miles away from a good performance.

So then you get today where, on the balance of it, they were probably worth a point from the game but were toothless so couldn't get it. I didn't think this was a Villa masterclass performance like last year/the year before, I thought City forced them back a lot. But what then?

What have you got when the chips are down? Not a lot at the moment... And is that a quality thing (in that it's not coming back because the players aren't good enough) or is that a mentality thing (in that they're still trying to build the good-vibes after last season)?

David Mooney @davidmooney.co.uk · 1d

Nunes wanted a foul for the corner that led to Villa's goal. It's probably a foul, but it's not given. Gvardiol might have had a penalty for the shove in the back, but it's not given. Old City shrug that off and get on with it, but at the moment they're excuses.

David Mooney @davidmooney.co.uk · 1d

I don't think the performance was good, but I don't think it was *that* bad... It's in-keeping with what City are this season: Generally ok and in control, but not much thrust and quite toothless. I think it's most characterised by the reaction to 50:50s going against them.

Glad to see Celebrity Traitors is no different than regular Traitors when it comes to reading intelligent analysis of what's going on as a cause for suspicion. David Olusoga: "Think logically. Don't get swept along by groupthink." The rest: "He's being too clever. Burn him!"

This is just stupid.

A graphic showing Erling Haaland's goals this season -- 24 in 14 appearances and scoring in 13 of the 14 games he's played. The only game he failed to score in was City's 0-2 defeat to Spurs.

I'm in an aquarium, underneath a tank, wearing a blue coat and looking upwards to where a stingray is swimming above me.

This team is like this meme from back to front.

The meme of a drawing of a horse that starts really realistically at the hind legs and tail, but by the head is like a child's drawing.
