Arsenal v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Don't think Doug can be blamed for this mess however hard you try.

DD would never have had McLeish as our manager

I left early yesterday. I never leave early.

That performance was not acceptable I'm disappointed you just can't back off a team like Arsenal and it proved they beat us easily coming out the ground yesterday I was seething why didn't McLeish start with Weimann instead of Heskey I will never understand his decisions I'm just hoping we can get a result against Chelsea.

This.

I think he seems to think he can win all games against the ''elite '' sides by just kicking it up the pitch and hoping for a goalie fuck up to fluke a goal !!
Not for the first time this season his attitude to playing the tops teams has been an utter shambles.You here the same comment time and time again ..Villa set up not to lose and now they have conceded they don't know what to do !!!

The support for the front players yesterday was no existent,,,at 2-0 down we looked like we were the ones leading and playing out time for the final whistle.I think we will just about stay up but AMC is on serious borrowed time.He may survive the summer but if we continue to play like this he won't make xmas.

This.

One thing that confused me was in his pre-match press conference, he mentioned a couple of times the fact that we won there last season. Yesterday after the game, he says something along the lines about fans needing to be realistic about winning at the Emirates.

Albrighton sucks wang. How he continues to play is beyond me...

I've said it before but his problem is confidence and the manager and his "tactics". Not a lack of quality on Albrighton's part.

[Pete3206]

I see the OS describes yesterday's shambles as 'frustrating'. A turkey shoot would be more appropriate.

[JUAN PABLO]

Saw Heskeys rating in the paper

4/10     Awful

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking 4/10 is a bit generous. It's a shame they don't do manager ratings, because Mcleish would get 0/10.

[SoccerHQ]

Normal service resumed in the league as soon as we play a half decent team again.

[Simba]

I turned the game on at half time, saw Heskey on there and said Tut or something.

So I watched him, ok only TV but he never touched the ball and had one attempted header, lost the battle missed the ball  (anyway had nowhere to head it ) after sixteen minutes into the half. I gave up on him then.

There is just no reason for him to be there. I don't understand why he is.
