Season Reviews: Aston Villa

The 2014-15 season was Aston Villa's 23rd season in the Premier League. They competed in the Premier League, F.A Cup and the League Cup. But did they achieve or underachieve this season?

 Team Competitions:

 Barclays Premier League: 17th
F.A Cup: Runners Up
League Cup: 2nd Round (lost 0-1 to Leyton Orient) 
















High Point: Beating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley to progress through to the F.A Cup final.
Low Point: Losing 0-1 at home to Leyton Orient in the second round of the League Cup.

Overall it has been a mixed season for Aston Villa. They performed well in the F.A Cup but league form was poor after picking up 3 wins in their first 4 games they only went on to win 7 more times all season. This included runs of 6 straight defeats and a run of 8 straight defeats meaning the end for manager Paul Lambert. It was clear their problem was goalscoring managing just 31 goals. For me Villa have underachieved this year I expected more of them.

City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside.  Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
