City Struggle for Win

            At the other end of composure comes a game from the weekend that was chaos at best. Manchester City went up against Aston Villa and took a not-so-pretty victory, but a victory nonetheless. Defensive plights were followed by goalkeeping errors, and goals for each team followed. At just three minutes, Villa goalkeeper Guzan played an uncomfortable pass out of the back right to Aguero’s feet, and he wasted no time putting City one goal up. Similar things happened on the other end of the field, however, as a mixup in City’s defense gave Villa a comparably easy goal. Nearing the end of the game, Villa looked like they were making a viable comeback. Then, City substitute Fernandinho came through for his team and put in a late winner, giving City a scrappy win to put them in second.
            Manchester City really needs to get their game together if they want any shot at reaching Chelsea (however slim). Chelsea still sits comfortably at the top of the table with fewer games played, and they have looked much more composed than City did today. Even to stay in second place ahead of Arsenal, Manchester City will have little luck playing like they did today. Looking ahead, there is much to be done for the team during the summer, and they are by no means without need of a few players.
