Aston Villa v Rapid Vienna Post-Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

The thing is that is now about 8 mistakes from our players in two games which have lead to goals missed or goals against.

Carew Missed Pen
Brad Let First against Newcastle.
Brad Parried Second Out
Dunne Sliced Clearance
Beye For first tonight
Petrov Missed Pen
Heskey Missed Follow Up
Davies fuck knows what shoving ball out over our crossbar when a yard from sideline for Second
Young Brad

We never had a run like that in two games.

Poor defending.  Rubbish keeper.   And you wont win a game with that man up front on his own - despite the fact his chested the goal in.

Not sure who is to blame - the players or KM?

[TimTheVillain]

Utter rubbish.

Embarrassing to watch.

Randy cut a depressed looking Chairman I thought as well.

[stevenjos]

Macdonald is mon mk2. I said he should of took last week seriously, but anyhoo, any team that plays husky....

[Rigadon]

A word on Davies, people saying he was a good counterfoil to Laursen.  There is not a single centre half currently on our books who can carry this lad the way Laursen did..  If he plays again for Aston Villa I will be seriously pissed off.  Habib Beye is a right back so has a small excuse.

What a load of complete and utter bollocks that was.

[TonyD]

A right back at left back
A centre back at right back
Heskey in the B6 post code, let alone on the pitch
Absolutely zero threat up front. Zero.
One of the worst centre halves I've seen in decades.
No manager
No signings
Chairman "waiting till after the Everton game" to offer KM the first interview BEFORE interviewing other people.

This club is an absolute fucking shambles right now. If we are going to stop being a shambles, Lerner MUST act very, very soon.

I agree.

[CT]

Habib Beye is an utter fucking embarrasment, out of position or not.

..and he gets £40,000 a week to do that.

[Muscle-Dolphin]

Beye got deked out of his pants on the one Vienna goal.  What's with Davies giving up the corner kick?  We have no grit on defence.  That was a very depressing game.  A shake up is necessary.  KM needs to admit that he doesn't want the job of manager.  The only guys out there hustling were Albrighton and Gabby.

[Risso]

If they even think about appointing MacDonald after this second shambles in a row, Lerner should give the club back to Doug.

[Toronto Villa]

Just what I was saying after West Ham. That it will be a real shame if a top coach like KM gets roasted when the results go bad. He needs to know his place and willingly step aside.

[Tony]

I'm angrier tonight than I was on Sunday, what the hell is going on with this keystone cops defending, their second equaliser, why was nobody on the post?

[Holtemeister]

Playing wise I just do not have a clue which way our club is heading

We are clearly not ......

Ah fuck it I really cant be bothered ... its getting to the stage now where I've had enough heart ache and embarrassment.

Petrov spoke of 'hurt' getting them through.... only hurt I see is from the fans of our great club.... I dont expect any of the players will be hurt financially and thats all that counts with footballers nowadays.

Yes we've had darker times yes ... fortunately i wasnt around then but football is different today.... the players I assume back then were Villa boys, good or bad.  Today's footballer is a mercenary with no commitment other than contract that pays his money.

And thats questionable these days .....

[Grande Pablo]

Didn't know we'd missed a penalty - and just seen Heskey's follow up - must have been putting kids to bed...

Absolutely unbeliveable.  Houston we don't have a problem - we have a crisis.

I'm dreading the Everton game.

[Matt Collins]

I agree, the Everton game has 3 or 4 nil written all over it.
