They were amazingly poor, Mike. Take nothing away from City, who were easily the better side for the vast majority of the game, but Villa seemed to have no spirit in their team at all. From the moment Cardiff took the lead, it was as if most of the Villa side were resigned to defeat and were just going through the motions. The contrast between the two sides couldn't have been more clear. One was enthusiastic, committed, motivated and organised, the other was a shambles. Villa looked pretty poor against Hull last week. They were worse still yesterday. Bruce has big, big problems on his hands.
