Gareth Taylor had urged fans to be patient with his new-look Manchester City squad after a hefty turnover of players this summer, but after a disjointed performance in a blistering defeat to Aston Villa, spearheaded by Rachel Daly, City fans were left with more questions than answers about their club and the manager.
It was Aston Villa’s first win over Manchester City in five attempts, having conceded 17 and failed to score in their previous four meetings, and they were made to work hard for the win at Villa Park, with City coming from two goals down to take the lead before Villa upped the press on an unconvincing City backline and secured the victory.
