Savage talks sense!

[PaulWinch again]

The thing that this illustrates is that if someone like Savage can see what we're like then it's blindingly obvious and our owner should be able to see it.

"Carles Gil has been brought in to give them more guile, and he looked lively for half an hour on his debut against Liverpool on Saturday.

But he only managed two assists in 33 games for Elche in La Liga last season"

Shit I don't like the sound of that.

On Wiki (i know) he's down as 5 assists.
Assists can be misleading though as for all we know there were numerous times Gil beat half the opposition slid in a world class pass to a team-mate who touched it to another player to score a tap-in. Gil would get no official credit for that goal.

I don't agree that benteke is in diabolical form, he seems to get the majority of his chances on target. He's just not getting very many.

As for work rate - a lot say he's being a little lazy, I don't agree with that either.

He just looks frustrated.

I'm sure he can see it, but it's obvious he's washed his hands of us and is waiting to sell up and leave the managerial decisions to the new owner.
Hopefully in the meantime we stay in the league.

If I can pick holes in it, then I disagree with him that Sanchez hasn't made a difference.  He has in terms of us being more solid and robust at the back, but he's not a creative player.  I disagree to a point over Cleverley too - he said he thought he'd make a difference, but the majority of us knew otherwise.

Also disagree that we need Vlaar to be fit. Maybe in the last coupld of seasons, but I think we've coped well this season when he's been out.

Other than that, a lot of what he says is right.

If anything we've been better at the back, we just need to turn draws into wins, other than that Savage is still a ******

[joe_c]

No he doesn't. This is at best his monkeys/typewriters/Shakespeare moment or more likely, Robbie/what a grown up has written/Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V moment.

I can't stand Savage. But I can't really knock him for that article.

I can. He says it looks like his prediction is finally going to come true, no it isn't you twat. You predicted us to go down 2 years ago, not this season, I can't go in to the bookies with a betting slip saying I predicted Villa to beat Chelsea 1-0 but 3 years ago and it's only now it's happened. He's just a rent a gob with a soppy perm, fuck the BBC for giving Sargent Gormless our license fee cash.

And I bet he's loving it. Have to admit he's right though.

if i wasn't a villa fan, i'd have a massive hard-on for us to go down. we stink the place out.

[Pete]

It's obvious our scoring record is terrible, but......worst out of the 649 clubs in the top nine levels? Crikey!

[olaftab]

I like the first picture in the article but other than  that nothing new except that the press are now after Lambert.

[eamonn]

He's just regurgitating stats that have been discussd on here for weeks if not months

Hadn't seen the one that Benteke is actually getting more chances this season compared to the two previous ones.

He has missed a few, maybe not complete sitters, but decent opportunities all the same (West Ham, West Brom, Leicester)

[Des Little]

It seems that everyone I meet that knows I'm a Villa fan knows all about how shit we are right now.  People who don't like or follow football know that Aston Villa are a joke right now.

Can we change the thread title to Savage talks shit.

Can we change the thread title to Savage talks shit.

And in brackets (and he's a twat)
