Adama on bench, Gana back in starting line up.
Guzan
Hutton
Richards
Lescott
Amavi
Sanchez
Gana
Westwood
Grealish
Gestede
Sinclair
Bunn
Clark
Bacuna
Veretout
Ayew
Adama
Gil
-
Quite a strong looking bench, think Clark should be starting instead of Lescott.
-
Bit harsh on Ayew, but good to see Gana back.
-
The bench is starting to look strong which can only be good.
-
Mmm not sure would rather have Clark than lescott and vertout for Sanchez
-
Not much point having Gestede in the team without people who can supply him. Amavi's probably the only one with proven delivery there.

Yeah, I would have tried Ayew up top for this one.
-
Does Traore have his first name on his back or do we all just call him Adama to be cool an'shit.
-
Not the team id pick. Clark and ayew would be in for me
But worried that might be a diamond against a 352 which would be ridiculous. Hopefully we can change shape if it is

me too
sanchez gana westwood gives sod all in the way of creativity
-
No width at all. Why play Gustede with that midfield line up?
-
Much stronger looking bench, hopefully Traore and Ayew will come on at sometime.
-
Much stronger looking bench, hopefully Traore and Ayew will come on at sometime.
I'm hoping not and it's Bacuna and Clark to protect a 3 goal lead.
-
I want our attitude to be right from the start. Get into them and don't let them play. We have to get a goal early and really get their crowd on their backs. Will be good to get our fans singing to Rodgers that he's getting sacked in the morning.
-
Harsh on Clark and Ayew. Hope Gustede can get amongst them and unsettle them. For once Villa, please lets have a quick and positive start, they will be nervous and fragile so lets add to that. UTV.
-
Ayew and Veretout had to start, surely? Instead the garbage that is Westwood and Sanchez pollutes the midfield-they're both crap, slow and limited. Garbage, Sherwood. I hope they turn round and have a stormer, though.
Come on lads!

Gana back is a big bonus. I'm goin for a 2-2. We need a performance out of lescott or he will have to be dropped
-

Come on lads!
I disagree about Sanchez. If he had any quality support in the middle, I think we'd see the best of him.
-
I too would have had Clark in instead of Lescott. But with the strongest bench we have had for the last few seasons Sherwood can change things around......which worries me a great deal!!

Sanchez is a very good player. Gueye is as well. Westwood isnt unfortunately.
-
I quite like that line up.
Outwork them in midfield, stifle and frustrate them, and then bring on Adama and Ayew to mix it up later, and provide the width and chances to win the game.
There you go Timmy, it's easy.
:-)
-
Ayewe had to start. in a 5-3-2 with Bacuna and Amavi providing Gestede service .....
-
Hi guys, changing the subject for a minute, does anyone have any favourite pubs in centre of brum that they could recommend between say about 3-5pm this afternoon?
-
Would rather Ayew or Adama started instead of Sinclair, who I think has struggled recently. Getting nervy now
-
Come on Villa.
-
Good that Gana is back but I fear that line-up is neither one thing nor another - either you need people to cross to Gestede or you play counterattacking on the ground with Gil and Ayew. I hope TS proves me wrong...
-
Would rather Ayew or Adama started instead of Sinclair, who I think has struggled recently. Getting nervy now
You can't start Adama with the lack of training he's had.
-
Had no idea Sturridge was close to being fit..
-
For FUCK sake.
-
Not much point having Gestede in the team without people who can supply him. Amavi's probably the only one with proven delivery there.
There's a big onus on Jack to find space wide and deliver too. When he does, he delivers quality.
-
Fuck me
-
What the fuck.
-
Well, that was that.
-
that's that then
-
SO BAD
FUCK
-
Keep it tight lads. Oh.
-
James, how could you?
-
For the love of God >:(
I am very fucking angry.
-
Lescott is so slow to get out....
-
Held out for two minutes against a dreadful team. Great.
-
Lescott on his heels. Unbelievable.
-
Look at the space we gave him! Jesus
-
Are you a premier league manager under pressure? Then play Aston Villa and win the 3 easiest points you'll get all season! FFS!
-
I need to start putting bets on. I had a feeling we'd be one down in the first few minutes
-
ffs just turned it on and nearly 2 down
-
Keep it tight.... The crowd will get on their backs... Manager will feel the pressure...
Of course all of that is a waste of breath when the Villa rock up.
-
Lescott on his heels. Unbelievable.
Lescott too busy telling Armavi where to stand.
-
It's alright, everyone, this was definitely part of Tim's plan.
-
Is that one our coaches on the bench with the absolutely gigantic beard? It's outstanding
-
How can Lescott get picked on his previous display total joke.
Why do we even bother completely pathetic team selection again from dim Tim
I've been stripping wallpaper all day so I could listen to this
-
Ayew and Veretout had to start, surely? Instead the garbage that is Westwood and Sanchez pollutes the midfield-they're both crap, slow and limited. Garbage, Sherwood. I hope they turn round and have a stormer, though.
Come on lads!
We have had a lot of crap players over the years but neither Sanchez or Westwood fall in that category. Think both of them will be a lot more comfortable playing in a three with Gueye today.
Poor selections re Lescott and Gestede starting over Clark and Ayew.
-
No Milner, no.
Bad start.
Come on Villa!
-
Close
-
Unlucky Rudy....more crosses like that, pepper their fucking box lads
-
It's alright, everyone, this was definitely part of Tim's plan.
A bollocks start, a goal down and then a valiant second display only losing 3-0. Almost Lambertesque
-
I'm sure some would consider this a little lily-livered and defeatist while we're still in September, but we are proper fucked.
Come on Villa.
-
Rudy is gonna bag a goal here I feel.
-
Was that Gestede?
-
Gestede's good and bad points in one minute there. Dominates the defender to win the header, then gives Jack absolutely nothing to work with in a good position.
-
The championship is a certainty next season - our worst start since 86/87 when we were last relegated
-
Had the good fortune to land on a stream with a virus so had to re-boot laptop and missed their goal. How bad was it?
-
Lescott on his heels. Unbelievable.
Lescott too busy telling Armavi where to stand.
You have to question both Sanchez and Gana going out to meet the same player leaving Milner all by himself. Gana was at fault in my book.
-

-
Sounds like they're having lots of chances?
Need to stay in this one as we've got quality on the bench
-
Pathetic start
-
They look as up for it as you would imagine they could after the last few days they have had. They have some very good players, and it was utterly predictable they would turn up and perform against us.
-
Well that was a good start.
-
Great tackling in midfield by sanchez
-
Why didn't Sinclair just chest that to Guzan?
-
Sinclair you fucking twazzock!
-
Fucking tippy tappy football. I fucking hate it.
-
Lescott on his heels. Unbelievable.
Lescott too busy telling Armavi where to stand.

Missed that but. The usual Villa comedy of errors routine then.
-
We are too ponderous going forward. Lambertball strikes again. We seem to take risks when passing across the back and are way too conservative when in the opposition half. Should be the other way round.
-
All we had to do was keep it tight and get the crowd onto Brenda's back and the players ! Instead what do we do
-
Fucking tippy tappy football. I fucking hate it.
I'm more annoyed with the fucking stupid long balls to the Big Man. Subtle tactic that.
-
They are playing with all the confidence in the world. Could be a long bloody afternoon.
-
It's getting to a point where almost every weekend, without fail, they ruin at least one day, sometimes two.
How long are we going to continue to be so shit?
-
i'm beginning to wonder why I put myself through an unrequited emotional wrangler every week
-
if they're playing this deep, they need pace up front
-
They are playing with all the confidence in the world. Could be a long bloody afternoon.
They're playing Villa. Imagine if we got the chance to play us? Confidence would go through the roof.
-
A good team starts with a good GK and defence. We have neither
-
What is Alan Hutton on today
-
They are playing with all the confidence in the world. Could be a long bloody afternoon.
It is nearly always a long bastard afternoon. I'm bloody sick of it. I'm so bored of Villa being shit.
-
Is our game plan to sit back and be attacked today? This is truly fucking shit.
-
It is getting to the point where the little bit of optimism I felt through the summer has long gone now Paulie.
Good to see Milner celebrate so vigorously, just to make me feel a little bit crappier.
They are getting both their full backs to our 18 yard line and beyond time and again. Coutinho is running the game. Knowing they would go 3-5-2 I am a bit surprised we didn't match them up.
-
I'll be stunned if Aston Villa are a premier league club next season.
-
They are playing with all the confidence in the world. Could be a long bloody afternoon.
It is nearly always a long bastard afternoon. I'm bloody sick of it. I'm so bored of Villa being shit.
Getting the point of not caring which his worse than being angry.
-
We look very easy to defend against. Hence their confidence.
-
It's alright, everyone, this was definitely part of Tim's plan.
A bollocks start, a goal down and then a valiant second display only losing 3-0. Almost Lambertesque
You can't blame the guy sitting down off the pitch for things like that....are you afraid of hurting the feelings of the 11 on the pitch?
-
Is our game plan to sit back and be attacked today? This is truly fucking shit.
And clear the ball to their closest defender.
This is brutal.
-
Gestede HAD to score there
-
Fuck me Gestede that was a chance. Great in the air, a fucking carthorse on the floor.
-
i'm beginning to wonder why I put myself through an unrequited emotional wrangler every week
Thing is it isn't an emotional wringer.
It's more like being summoned to the school bully without this week's dinner money.
9 times out of 10 you get an almighty kick in the bollocks and you can't really enjoy the occasions it doesn't happen because you know what's waiting next week.
-
if they're playing this deep, they need pace up front
Yep. We're too deep to be able to use Rudy properly. Dumb team selection if that was a deliberate tactic. I'd like to see us press them in their own half more. Their defenders are very shaky.
-
For years I've never a known a club to have such shite fucking movement, or almost ALWAYS opt for the most glaringly obvious pass 9 times out of 10. We're so predictable. It's shambolic. Some years we still carried a threat despite being so garishly un-fucking-skilled, but in the last 5 years it's been a complete joke.
Wretched bunch of fucking charlatans posing as footballers. Why does it have to be our club housing the bastards.
Harsh?
I don't care, my kitchen flooded this morning so I'm in a cracking mood and this isn't helping.
Grealish is the only one out there with a semblence of brain, and he was pictured sprawled out on the floor about 3 months ago, sozzled out of his nut. Maybe more of our players need some hippy crack.
-
ahhhhhh Rudy....c'mon, next one you're burying.
-
Sounds like TS has dropped another bollock with his formation...4141 by the sounds of it allowing them too much time and space in midfield. He needs to change it before its too late to get back into this game.
Got a shit stream running a few minutes behind play so may just see what the score is at full time.
Ooooh Gestede has to get that on target.
-
Really poor effort by Gestede
-
Hutton looks like he has one a fucking contest before the game to get to play.
-
What is Alan Hutton on today
About £50K per week at a guess.
-
That is a fucking terrible miss.
-
Gestede should have headed that one. He won't score many with his feet for us in his time here.
-
Sigh. I'm not entirely sure I can see where the next win is coming from to be honest. We're dire, and it's starting to become clear that Sherwood is a chancer out of his depth.
-
What the actual fuck was that?
-
What the fuck is going on?
-
at least we know we can win against a championship side, which bodes well for next season.
-
We're terrible at closing down as a team. It's like watching an U10 side, all sprinting around after the player with the ball.
-
Westwood is about as influential as one of my PowerPoint presentations .
How he starts every week is beyond me
-
I could see the positives over the last few performances, but this has been completely shit so far. We really look dismal again.
-
Brainless.
Honestly lads, why do we put up with it? I'd rather wet my wanger and dry hump a plug socket than carry on watching this. Yet I can't look away...I'm a glutton for punishment.
-
When did Westwood and Sinclair get sent off?
-
Westwood is about as influential as one of my PowerPoint presentations .
How he starts every week is beyond me
He doesn't do very much in a team which doesn't have the ball. So, the tactic? Start Westwood, and defend deep never having the ball. There's no joined up thinking there at all.
-
The whole team is defending and holding the line 20 yards out.
Even if we did break, there is no fucker who can get up the pitch to play in their half.
-
It's like a weird fetish tuning into this crap each weekend
-
Sigh. I'm not entirely sure I can see where the next win is coming from to be honest. We're dire, and it's starting to become clear that Sherwood is a chancer out of his depth.
Shit isn't it.
I said to someone at work this week I am almost tempted to tell my lad to be an Arsenal fan or something like that, because putting him through being a Villa fan just seems like abuse. Then every time he is a little git too me I think nah, he deserves it!
-
How can Carlisle make this lot look average and we make them look like Brasil 82 ?
-
Sometimes I wish someone would cut Rudy Gestedes arms and legs off and sew on four extra heads instead. He'd be World class.
-
Get Gil on for Westwood and Ayew for Gestede or Sinclair....
-
I'm not sure what everyone's expectations are on here after 5 odd seasons of scraping to stay in the league. For me, so far this is exactly what I'm expecting.
-
Brainless.
Honestly lads, why do we put up with it? I'd rather wet my wanger and dry hump a plug socket than carry on watching this. Yet I can't look away...I'm a glutton for punishment.
At least you made me smile!
-
Our season won't be judged by how we play/get points against Liverpool, it'll be judged by getting one point from 4 games against Palace, Sunderland, Leicester and Albion. I'm more worried now that the Sherwood bounce is well and truly flat on the floor
-
Get Gil on for Westwood and Ayew for Gestede or Sinclair....
Shows what a crappy selection it was in the first place. We are not allowed to make enough subs to fix all the mistakes.
-
It's like a weird fetish tuning into this crap each weekend
I'm pretty sure some gentleman must head to seedy underground dungeons in Soho, leather up and get tied to a chair, eyes taped open and forced to watch Villa play, whilst a dominatrix paddles his backside with a ping pong bat.
-
you have to focus on the positives - no Gabby and our kit's nice
-
Fuck me we can't even get the ball. Shitting awful.
-
Even the Liverpool fans seem disappointed as they wanted to have a real go at Brenda today
-
I see Sherwood has got them copying the tactic from Tuesday of being deliberately crap in the first half. Clever.
-
Seeing as Plan A was fucked after 70 seconds, What's plan B Tim?
-
I'll be stunned if Aston Villa are a premier league club next season.
We are essentially no better than a newly promoted team,inexperienced manager,players finding their feet, one of the higest risk strategy's since Ellis put Graham Turner in charge.
-
Sigh. I'm not entirely sure I can see where the next win is coming from to be honest. We're dire, and it's starting to become clear that Sherwood is a chancer out of his depth.
Yup.
As per our arguments in the past, I'm not usually one for judging a manager early, but this one is different. He's an absolute chancer.
-
Gueye, Westwood and Sanchez on the pitch is never going to work. They all do the same thing.
-
I'm just glad Benteke isn't playing. You know the bar-steward would probably have bagged a hattrick by now.
-
Just what is the plan here? Sit as deep as you can and let Liverpool attack at will, because we've already shown our impenetrable defensive qualities?
-
Just noticed Sinclair is playing. Has he touched the ball yet?
-
Get Gil on for Westwood and Ayew for Gestede or Sinclair....
Shows what a crappy selection it was in the first place. We are not allowed to make enough subs to fix all the mistakes.
You mean 11?
-
So we've not been very good then?
-

Beats me how you manage to post on here at the same time😱
-
You will all be eating humble pie when we go and stuff them in the second half
#cunningplan
-
Looking to the positives...we've got Gil, Veretout, Ayew and Traore on the bench so TS has got options to sort this shit out.
-
One from the BBC: "If you want an indication of how this game is going, Brad Guzan has played more passes than any other Villa player (12)."
-
Sigh. I'm not entirely sure I can see where the next win is coming from to be honest. We're dire, and it's starting to become clear that Sherwood is a chancer out of his depth.
Yup.

When can we have our first poll?
-
The premiership calls for an experienced manager.
-
Just what is the plan here? Sit as deep as you can and let Liverpool attack at will, because we've already shown our impenetrable defensive qualities?
There is no plan.
-
When MON left the little fucker cursed the club on his way out.
-
Sinclair is only good if he's playing on the left and making runs into the box...and someone is actually delivering the ball. Otherwise he's useless.
-
The premiership calls for an experienced manager.
THIS !!!...500 gazillion times.

Add another one to that list.
-
This Villa side make it a piece of piss not to care. Not just losing, but doing it terribly.
-
stoke winning so we're in bottom 3
-

I'm just heartily sick of being utterly shit and my patience has been entirely extinguished.

They always leave you a hand free.
And if anyone wonders where Eastie got to, he's in the waiting room.
-
If we don't concede another before HT or just after it, I'm confident we can get something here.
-
Hopefully this is our crap half and we come out flying 2nd half
-
Gueye, Westwood and Sanchez on the pitch is never going to work. They all do the same thing.
Not sure why TS has not tried Veretout in a midfield three
-
We need to be closing down faster, higher up the pitch and the midfield needs to stop occupying the same 10 square yards of space and start fucking moving. there's nobody running between the midfield and front to link anything.
-
The premiership calls for an experienced manager.
Like when Pellegrini won the league with Man City? Or when Laudrup won the League Cup with Swansea?
-
Stoke winning. Table will probably not make pretty reading at 4:45.
-
See that play from Gana? That's the kind of quality we do actually have in this team, and credit to Sherwood (among others) for signing them. It's just that, like the last one, the manager has absolutely no idea what to do with real players on the actual football pitch.
-
Gueye, Westwood and Sanchez on the pitch is never going to work. They all do the same thing.
Not sure why TS has not tried Veretout in a midfield three
Veretout is defensively-minded too. Gueye needs to be ahead of the other two, not sitting on the edge of his own box all the time.
-
Stoke winning. What price on Newcastle beating Chelsea? We are going to be bottom before long.
-
The premiership calls for an experienced manager.
THIS !!!...500 gazillion times.
No, it calls for a good manager. Garry Monk has shown if you are smart you can succeed.

And, is your hand actually free or 'busy'?

Seems Tim is sinking into the play deep damage limitation mode that Lambert sunk into. It was refreshing last season with the front-foot attacking approach.
-

It does grind you down doesn't it? It's like being stuck in a Groundhog Day Saw mash-up.
-
Bring on Adama and Awye plz
-
The premiership calls for an experienced manager.
Like when Pellegrini won the league with Man City? Or when Laudrup won the League Cup with Swansea?
Well, I believe Pellegrini and Laudrup were experienced mangers when they took over those clubs.
-
Playing 5-4-1 with the immobile Gestede up front, 40 yards from any other Villa player. Hopeless.
-
It's just so easy for Liverpool we aren't closing down or tight enough

Does covering your eyes count as busy?
-
Jurgen Klopp is available. And will come nowhere near us, so we'll end up with an 'exciting young talent' like Dougie Freedman or an expensive flop like David Moyes.
-
I'm not happy with this referee
-
Actually I'd take Rowett. There. I've said it.
-
We are going to get hammered unless he changes before halftime. This is useless, the players look entirely unmotivated. There is no point playing Grealish where he is he's just a passenger. FFS do something
-

No, it calls for a good manager. Garry Monk has shown if you are smart you can succeed.
He came into a successful club with many years of being run and managed well
-
I'm not happy with this referee
Ref was very very poor then.
-

Yep me too.
-
As I said earlier,me are so bloody deep, that even if we do win the ball back we are constantly under pressure.
We must start playing higher up the pitch.
-
Shit - thought that was in!
-
Come on Villa....better
-
Actually I'd take Rowett. There. I've said it.
And he has done what exactly. burton albion?
-
Mignolet is shit. We should be putting high balls on his six yard line and charging at him.
-
wtf was that corner? just... brainless
-
Playing 5-4-1 with the immobile Gestede up front, 40 yards from any other Villa player. Hopeless.
What's really annoying is that, if nothing else, the football under Sherwood promised to be interesting to watch. Today, and the last couple of matches, that is just really not the case at all. This afternoon is very similar to Lambert's approach.
-
A Westwood special corner there
-
The premiership calls for an experienced manager.
THIS !!!...500 gazillion times.
No, it calls for a good manager. Garry Monk has shown if you are smart you can succeed.
He came into a successful club with many years of being run and managed well
You mean like Moyes at Man U?
-
And that is the worst corner I have ever seen.
-
That chance just now shows that they are there for the taking if we just set about it a bit smarter.
-
Westwood with yet another woeful set piece. Cannot believe has on his 4th season at the club. Poor, poor player
-
I'm not happy with this referee
Ref was very very poor then.
Does he ever have a good game?
-
The premiership calls for an experienced manager.
Like when Pellegrini won the league with Man City? Or when Laudrup won the League Cup with Swansea?
Well, I believe Pellegrini and Laudrup were experienced mangers when they took over those clubs.
My bad, I'd misread it as experienced Premiership manager.
-
Another dire Westwood corner. By christ he's fucking shite.
-
And that is the worst corner I have ever seen.
Surely Angel still holds that record?
-

I was talking about Monk.
I would take Moyes anyday
-
I think I'll watch a game from the Atkinson/Little/Gregory era on a saturday afternoon from now on
-
Fucking shit shit corner. How is Gestede going to get that. He's our best option at to get in the end of corners. I'd fine Westwood for that. Fucking sick of it.
-
And that is the worst corner I have ever seen.
Can't someone take a big banner along saying "DON'T LET WESTWOOD TAKE THE F*ING SET PIECES"?
-
Westwood just fuck off away from dead balls
-
... the players look entirely unmotivated. There is no point playing Grealish where he is he's just a passenger. FFS do something
This is the thing: I think TS's ineptitude against Leicester has really dispirited the players - we have exciting, attacking players in the squad and they're not being given their head. We know from the last 5-6 seasons that trying to defend is not enough: we can and have to take the game to the oppo (as we started to against Leicester) otherwise we get pasted.
-
They look dodgy. Get Traore on
-
They look dodgy. Get Traore on
This is it - they are not a particularly good team.
-
Jack should be on corners not Westwood.
-
I think I'll watch a game from the Atkinson/Little/Gregory era on a saturday afternoon from now on
Things are that bad I'd almost settle for O'Leary era.
-
I've seen enough in this half that despite us being shit and sitting too deep, we're still in this game if we push out and get at them in the second. They are very dodgy at the back.
-
We need some pace upfront. We're not having possession so need a counter attacking threat.
-
Westwood's corners are horrible.
-
Every time Westwood puts in one of those 3 miles an hour, floaty, utterly pointless corners that give the ball the momentum of a balloon patted by a small child, GOD STAMPS A PUPPY TO DEATH.
-
Fuck, it's just dawned on me.
We are one of those teams who goes to the big boys, and 'park the fucking bus'.
And not very wel!!
-
Every time Westwood puts in one of those 3 miles an hour, floaty, utterly pointless corners that give the ball the momentum of a balloon patted by a small child, GOD STAMPS A PUPPY TO DEATH.
Ther must be no dogs left in the world then
-
Liverpool will be worried now, they are only one up and that's our bad half out of the way
-
HT: Veretout & Ayew > Westwood & Gestede
-
OK, there it is. I suppose we have to be grateful to only be 1-0 down, so we could still get something if we could just show a bit of adventure.
-
We're fucking useless. I'm so bored of watching the same shit from a succession of different managers, the sooner Lerner fucks off the better.
-
Playing 5-4-1 with the immobile Gestedeup front, 40 yards from any other Villa player. Hopeless.
Maybe the transfers guy misunderstood when Sherwood said he wanted Immobile and thought he just wanted immobile?
-
Sunderland not losing at United. Stoke winning. We look pathetic. What price a late Sunderland winner, Newcastle beat Chelsea and us ending up bottom by end of the weekend.
-
Playing 5-4-1 with the immobile Gestede up front, 40 yards from any other Villa player. Hopeless.
Neither Grealish or Sinclair are getting anywhere near him. I'd be looking to replace both at half time. Bring on somebody that can actually get involved. It would be a start.
That was the longest 45 minutes I can remember.
-
Tictacs Tim HAS to change it for the second half. Get any one of Gil, Ayew or Adama on and get running at them. Carry on sitting deep will only result in one thing - more goals for them
-
Ayew should definitely come on for Gestede.
-
Gil on for Westwood and Adama for Sinclair surely?
-
Really unhappy with that half.
Bad tactics, some really poor personal displays, total disarray when transitioning from defense to attack.
I've never doubted Sherwood more. :-\
-
Can't get much more toothless than that. As bad as any of the McLeish / Lambert bore-off displays.
Big half for me and my patience with this manager. We can't keep having halves where we play like kids against men.
Oh, and GET SOMEBODY ELSE ON THE DEAD BALLS FFS!!!!!
-
29% possession. Dear me.
-
R.U.B.B.I.S.H. Why does that plodder, Westwood, continue to play? Why would you not play your best players (Gil) in place of that idiot? And for what, a supposedly defensive setup? Please.
-
Liverpool will be worried now, they are only one up and that's our bad half out of the way
compared to some of the tripe we've been served up in recent years I'd say that was our good half so I wouldn't get too excited
-
We're fucking useless. I'm so bored of watching the same shit from a succession of different managers, the sooner Lerner fucks off the better.
Lerner has not put this team out today and played like this. There are many less expensive squads, paying less wages that Villa. Lerner wants out, but he is not responsible for this shower today. The manager is.
-
Remember boys and girls......
WINNING MENTALITY
we must now have in abundance...........we must, haven't we ?
-
Crap first half. When oh when will we be good again?
-
No changes second half.
No change to the sitting back approach.
-
Fucks sake let's push out. And keep the fucking ball.
-
So shit. Change something Tim.
-
So, Sherwood looked at that half and thought 'brilliant, no change'. I have no idea how.
-
Dreadful.
-
We're fucking useless. I'm so bored of watching the same shit from a succession of different managers
That's my problem, too.
I am so bored of the fucking routine with managers who can't do the job. I'm not interested in giving Sherwood the sort of time Lambert got, the football might be - sometimes - slightly better but the results are every bit as godawful as last year and the four years before that.
He needs to start giving us some clues he can do the job, or we should just sack him and replace him.
I know it is impatient, and I know all the arguments for giving him time, but I can not be fucked any more.

I disagree. Every manager since O'Neill has had to buy mostly unproven players and look where it has got us, Fergie couldn't get these players to perform any better.
If you pay peanuts and all that.
-
Still we are creating some chances, but gusted is too slow to help us break. Wrong game for him.
-
Great block Amavi. Should have been 2
-

Not the players....they're not responsible at all? They misplace the passes, they miss the shots, they lose their man...
-
Poor Jack is having to try it all on his own, with a little help from Gana but no-one else.
-

No there hasn't been huge amounts of money sloshing around but, just like Lambert, Sherwood has not got anything like the best out of the players we have.
-
What the hell was Sinclair doing there.
-
ffs Sinclair. Why handle it there?
-
Rubbish, just rubbish.
-
Sinclair has picked something up from Gabby in training - how to be brainless
-
Change it now Tim ffs.
Triple sub stick Adama on as well.
-
Got my doubts over Sherwood now. Why was Clark dropped after a good display against SHA. Why is Gil on the bench and, indeed Ayew?
-
Is Tim waiting till we're 2 down to make a change?
-
Why have we made no changes and still sitting do deep in a 4141 or 451?!
-

Amen brother. The new TV money has levelled the playing field in terms of finances outside of the top 4/5, so it really is down to who's got a decent manager now. And it's clear that us, Sunderland and Newcastle have got the bad ones. Who's going to mourn us with the two North East teams when we do all go down. We've been stinking out the Premier League for far too long.
-
Change it now Tim ffs.
Triple sub stick Adama on as well.
Would 4 subs do it ? ;-)
-
Lescott is terrible.
-
We're inviting pressure here as Gestede is so isolated. Liverpool are not much of a team themselves and atmosphere is dead. If went for it we could put them under a lot of pressure.
-
Why the fuck is Lescott playing after his horror show on Tuesday?
-
This is just abysmal
-
Fucking do something you cockney bufoon
-
Why the fuck is Lescott playing after his horror show on Tuesday?
Contractual clause?
-
What does Sinclair actually do? He isn't a striker, isn't a winger, what actually is he? If I was him, I'd be sat at home playing with Helen's fun bags rather than pretending to be a footballer.
-
Giving it to Gestade guarantees giving the ball away
-
Oh fuck off.
-
But what good manager would come here and work under the same financial constraints of Lambert and Sherwood?
-
Game over....... How much longer does Sherwood get?
-
No organisation, desire, discipline.
It is hard to make a case for us staying up. And it is September.
-
Garbage.
-
Going further and further back. Change it Sherwood. Oh...too late
-
But what good manager would come here and work under the same financial constraints of Lambert and Sherwood?
Hopefully someone who could get better out of the players we already have.
-
Without width it is pointless playing Gestede. Oh well 2-0 now. Never saw that coming.
-
I think we're going to be relegated with this team and manager.
A big mess.
-
But what good manager would come here and work under the same financial constraints of Lambert and Sherwood?
Balls
He has just soent £40 f in million
-
Well its been coming for ages. FFS.
-
2-0 down, he'll probably make a change now. Why not at half time? It clearly wasn't working.
-
Good goal...
-
Is Tim waiting till we're 2 down to make a change?
Yes
-
Fucking hell.
We've been saying it for what seems like a very long time, but is this the season we finally go down?
-
God almighty. Wasn't it obvious we needed to change something earlier.
-
If Liverpool could have chosen any team to play this weekend?
-
How quickly is Sherwood being found out. This is so easy for Liverpool.
-
Dim Tim making subs now, excellent ::)
-
I've given up trying to follow the match on Absolute Radio, Barry Davies sounds like he has escaped from the home of the bewildered, absolutely abysmal 'commentary'.
-
Fucking useless sherwood
-
#Sherwoodout
-
Sherwood you clueless chancer, when we've been played off the park first half, what's the point in doing exactly the same thing second half. Wanker.
-
Fk off Sherwood.
-
Veretout on to protect being 2-0 down. How about a positive sub Sherwood - you've got talent on the bench. Fucking use it
-
Gestede is so fucking immobile.
-
This is going to be the most piss easy 3 points Liverpool will get this season.
They have the game won with very little effort.
-
Cockney chancer
-
awful from Sherwood, it clearly wasn't working and we've seen our midfield getting deeper but he does fuck all until they get a 2nd and pretty much close the game out, utterly pathetic game management.
-
totally inured to this shit now, but why do lesser clubs get it right when we get it so wrong
-
Turned the tv off, I really can't be bothered watching this shite anymore. Pathetic!
-
We suck again..
-
Liverpool score two goals in a game for the first time this season....
-
no doubt he will say its part of the plan
-
Vere tout? Well taking off one holding midfielder and putting another on is going to make a difference?
-
But what good manager would come here and work under the same financial constraints of Lambert and Sherwood?
Hopefully someone who could get better out of the players we already have.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but who? Lambert was good at Norwich, Sherwood was ok at Spurs, O'Leary did ok at Leeds, the French bloke whose name completely escapes me wasn't too bad before us either.
-
Aston Villa's crap team in crisis outreach program rolls into town. Again.
-
two nil down - Leicester managed to win from that.
Oh fuck but that was against us.
-
This will be the season we drop
-
*sigh*
-
Veretout on for Sanchez???
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
What planet is Sherwood on when he thinks up these substitutions?
-
If Liverpool could have chosen any team to play this weekend?
This, exactly. We've really got a knack for this.
-
So much for 'bold but naive'. His tactics today were completely cowardly against a famously brittle and nervy defence, and he's got what he deserved.
-
Grealish has been garbage and needed the hook ages ago.
-
Abysmally drab performance.
I hate watching us, Sherwood sat on the bench sighing and huffing like a spooky child. Fuck him
-
afternoon
Im late
shit 0-2
where the fuck is ayew?
-
First sub comes when we are 2 down, what is the point in that
-
Liverpool score two goals in a game for the first time this season....
Milner breaks the duck and Sturridge all to easy for his first game back. Straight into the team and bang.
We look like we're giving up now. Could get bad, oh well early days.
-
Im off out.
Looking forward to the rugby later
Good luck all
-

I kind of agree. The Villa crapness seems to be ingrained terminal.
-
Just woeful week after week.
-
Why not Gil on instead? Our most creative player. Sick and tired of this.
-
This will be the season we drop
Think my over riding emotion will be relief. I've had enough of this.
-
Our central midfield has been shit for years now. Westwood has been in it most of that time.
-
At sometime soon we do need to acknowledge that we are in the shit.
-
Gestede is a statue and has no one within 25yards of him, how are we supposed to do anything going forward, get someone on to get up near him ffs.
-
Lescott is a poor buy for me....reminds me of Dunne
-
Veretout on for Sanchez???
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
What planet is Sherwood on when he thinks up these substitutions?
Exactly. The guy is fucking clueless.
-
As predicted...Villa help out another team in trouble. Clueless.
-
goal
-
Goooooaaaaaaaal
-
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS. Gestede
-
This is no better than Lambert
-
get in rudy
-
get adama and ayew on now or gill
-
COME ONNNNNNNNNN YOU MOANING MISERABLE FUCKERSSSSSSS!!!
-
A GOAL. WE'VE DONE A GOAL.
-
Hang on a minute...
2-1
Oh shit...
3-1
-
Fuck me
-
now get traore on and try and get some more crosses in from deep.
-
Total garbage sherwood
-
you fucking bellends
-
What bunch of fucking ****** we are.
-
But what good manager would come here and work under the same financial constraints of Lambert and Sherwood?

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but who? Lambert was good at Norwich, Sherwood was ok at Spurs, O'Leary did ok at Leeds, the French bloke whose name completely escapes me wasn't too bad before us either.
Sherwood had a managerial career of a few months before he got our job. Woefully under qualified as we are seeing now.
Same mistake, week after week.
Lerner is not free of blame, either, but do you really think Sherwood gets anything like the best out of his players? I don't. Nowhere near it.
-
C'MON! G-Man scores one with his foot. His FOOT!
-
wtf 'Stand by for Operation Anfield exercise'??
-
wtf
-
Fuck me a goal. Good cross and Gestede in right place. Get Adama on.
-
Fuck off.
-
Twats.
-
COME ONNNNNNNNNN YOU MOANING MISERABLE FUCKERSSSSSSS!!!
Yes?
-
GET INNN! Fucking shit defending from 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' there. Bring it on!
-
Idrissa.....how many times are you going to give it away man
-
Hope... and then...
-
Haha. See you next time for more of the same shite.
-
Fucking morons.
-
The dippers defence is every bit as bad as ours. Why the fuck are we not having a go at them?
-
They...they know they're allowed to tackle, right?
-
Laughable absolutely laughable.
-
gave the ball away again
-
Fucking arsecandles!
-
wtf 'Stand by for Operation Anfield exercise'??
Oh. Liverpool scoring again appears to be operation Anfield exercise
-
C*ntbuckets.
-
WAS THAT NOT THE MOST PATHETIC THING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN?
-
We give the ball away again and again.
-
Brainless, fucking wankers
-
Veretout is such a plodder
-
looks like my stream is way behind everyone elses :(
-
Oh fuck off Villa.
-
adama on
-
Traore is huge
-
Grealish off. Adama on.
-
looks like my stream is way behind everyone elses :(
Why is it still nil nil?
-
26 September 2015, 4.25pm. I have now officially given up on Sherwood and staying up this season.
-
Oh. And now he brings Adama on
-
So happy we provided such a lovely game for Sturridge to come back to. God we are fucking shit
-
Oh great, bring off our only show of attacking threat today. How the fuck is Sinclair still on the pitch? What the fuck has he done? Hath not a Sherwood eyes?
-
Adama for Grealish? What the fuck is he smoking???
-
It's like watching WWF you know exactly what's going to happen and it all looks contrived to the point you think they are all in on it
-
26 September 2015, 4.25pm. I have now officially given up on Sherwood and staying up this season.
I'm going with half of that statement. I'm praying we get rid before it gets to the second bit.
-
3-2 Gestede!!!
-
goall
-
Grealish was shite. Good riddance.
-
Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal
-
get in Rudy!!!
-
Fucking hell Rudy
-
looks like my stream is way behind everyone elses :(
Why is it still nil nil?
I wish!
-
WHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT AAAAAAAAAA GGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL
-
get ayew on for sinclair now
-
Fuck my old boots YEEEEESSSS!!!
-
he can cross a ball amavi
-
Yessss!! Another great Amavi cross. Get in!!
-
C'MON! G-man with his head this time.
-
Ok. When we attack them we look dangerous. When we sit back we look shit. Lets not keep sitting back.
-
I'm sorry, immobile or not, put that ball in the box and there's not much better out there
-
Great ball Amavi and fine header Gestede. He actually moved.
-
3-3 is asking too much and would be nothing short of a miracle. They are going to score again for sure.
-
But what good manager would come here and work under the same financial constraints of Lambert and Sherwood?
Hopefully someone who could get better out of the players we already have.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but who? Lambert was good at Norwich, Sherwood was ok at Spurs, O'Leary did ok at Leeds, the French bloke whose name completely escapes me wasn't too bad before us either.
Or (in chronological order)
O'Leary. The epitome of a cheque book manager. Clear narcissistic traits as well.
Houllier. Yes very experienced and managed at the highest levels in 2 leagues.
Inherited a squad where the dominant personalities seemed to be sulking over MONster departure and was probably 3 or 4 years past his sell by date.
Lambert. Did a job getting Norwich through the divisions. If he hadn't come to us everyone would have been asking about 2nd season syndrome.
Sherwood. 6 months as emergency cover with someone else's squad. Not exactly a track record.
The only common theme from DOL,TSM II and Sherwood is that they'd only got a record at one club under relatively benign circumstances when coming to us.
I said when we appointed Sherwood that we needed someone who was experienced in dragging clubs kicking and screaming upwards from the sort of death spiral that we seem to be caught in.
-
This is such a bizarre game.
But seriously, Liverpool are fucking awful defensively. We should have been putting Mignolet under pressure from the start, ffs.
-
Unbelievable cross, fantastic finish. Wow.
-
Ram the comments down their throats lads....one more lads, one more, please!!!
-
Attack. Get into em!!!
-
Fuck me, that's some goal.
Liverpool are pretty shit. If we'd have approached this game properly, we'd have it wrapped up already.
-
Is Adama on? If not get him on now!
-
Great ball Amavi and fine header Gestede. He actually moved.
Twas a f in bullet
-
hes good ion the air that man
-
When he heads it...it stays headed
-
Is Adama on? If not get him on now!
Yes he is.
-
I still think he's too slow for the Premier League, but bloody hell he's a monster in the air
-
Has Traore borrowed Gladstone Small's neck?
-
Come of you fucking fuckers. Don't fucking get back to this fucking scoreline and fuck it up you fucking fucks.
-
Terrific save Guz
-
That's four goals for Gestede in, how many games? He may be a bit of a carthorse on the deck, but he can't half head the bloody thing.
-
hes nearly as good as westwoods dead balls
-
Has Traore borrowed Gladstone Small's neck?
Ha! We could go on to lose this 20-2, but that comment will make me smile the rest of the day.
-
come on get ayew on for 20 mins
-
Keep getting that ball in the box, 5 yards in front of Rudy....he has a head like Messi's left foot
-
Just need to get the ball into Traore and attack the fuckers now. They are truly shit at the back.
-
I don't understand how Sinclair is still on the pitch. He's been a non-contributor today.
-
Villa fans seem to have woken up
Been very quiet til now
-
and adama gets a FK
-
Traore just takes the piss out of defenders
-
Better dead ball.
-
shame that wasnt rudy
-
thats a better free kick
-
I think we know who needs to be taking the set pieces from now on.
-
Veretout knows how to swing the fucker in
-
They can't deal with balls into the box...but we're not getting forward or putting enough balls in there.
-
Grealish was shite. Good riddance.
One of the reasons I kick myself for looking at match threads is seeing nonsense like this.
-
Jack Woodward appears to be enjoying it.
-
Grealish was shite. Good riddance.
One of the reasons I kick myself for looking at match threads is seeing nonsense like this.
I think he was joking.
-
Come one lads, last 10, make it a big one....
-
Shame Sherwood didn't take a more attacking approach from the start. We could have won this
-
My flu ridden brain isn't working quite as it should so please excuse the non chronological order and memory lapse.
Who employed three out of the four managers? That's why I blame Lerner.
I don't think Sherwood is the answer, I didn't want him as our manager, but who is there out there that would come here and do a better job?
With the financial constraints in place we can only hope that one of the up and coming managers we employ actually pans out, so far it hasn't.
-
Shame Sherwood didn't take a more attacking approach from the start. We could have won this
That's what I don't get.
They've been nervy as fuck at the back and we did fuck all to scare them until we changed things a bit.
-
Grealish was shite. Good riddance.
One of the reasons I kick myself for looking at match threads is seeing nonsense like this.
I think he was joking.
You can never tell on here
-
come on
-
looking better
-
still ,like to see ayew for sinclair
-
Shame Sherwood didn't take a more attacking approach from the start. We could have won this
His attitude to start games is fucking cowardly. Always worrying about the opponent. It's like Lambert enters his body before kick off.
-
Grealish was shite. Good riddance.

I honestly can't tell on match threads.
-
Traore is my sort of player. Keep taking them on son
-
The pitch looks too good for anyone over 14 stone to walk on it...( Villa Park )
-
Shame Sherwood didn't take a more attacking approach from the start. We could have won this
His attitude to start games is fucking cowardly. Always worrying about the opponent. It's like Lambert enters his body before kick off.
I actually think it is more often than not the other way around.
He sets us up well to start things, then makes changes which totally fuck it up.
-

Which, considering his confidence, is a bit weird. Did the Leicester game knock the stuffing out of him?
-
Looking so much better now...shame its taken 70 minutes before we start playing.
-
84 mins in I'm still not sure what our game plan is
-
Traore tries to do it all himself, needs to know when to keep it simple
-
lost it again there
-
Idrissa is real rusty
-

Good point - it will take a while to get over such a kick in the teeth
-
We seem determined to give Sturridge his hat trick
-
Nice to see Leicester getting a battering. Needed taking down a peg or two.
-
Bournemouth score at Stoke to take us out of the bottom three
-
Just started watching. Have we been this bad throughout?
-
Even at 3-2 with them flat we haven't pushed up as a team. They've looked more likely to score again. Weird game management.
-
Our movement is terrible at times. We give the ball away because players aren't creating angles and showing for the ball. They're hiding.
-
I'm listening on the radio and Barry Davies is a bit shit these days. Guzman for starters, plus when Adama came on he said "Traore, although he has Adama on the back of his shirt, I wish players would make it clear what they want to be called." The name on the back of his shirt may be a fucking clue you cock socket.
-
Scott pull the fucker back.....
-

It's both then which proves he doesn't know what he's doing. He lets the their team play their game and we concede. Or like Leicester we start really well and he contrives to fuck it up. I can't work it out. Today we'll lose and we'll all wonder why we didn't play like the last 20 all game.
-
Adama needs to fucking pass.
-
Adama needs to fucking pass.
He's like a FIFA cheat mode.
-
Difference between us and Leicester - they looked like they believed. We just haven't pressed them enough since getting that goal back. They will be really jumpy, we need to go at them.
-
Adama needs to fucking pass.
He's like a FIFA cheat mode.
let him do what he likes
-
My only criticism of Adama is that he tries to do too much all by himself particularly when he's running through the middle...he isn't Messi yet.
-

He's having a day out from the rest home and has missed his afternoon nap
-
I'm listening on the radio and Barry Davies is a bit shit these days.
I only managed 5 minutes, he is terrible.
-
Liverpool won't have an easier game than this
-
JEsus gusted that was so poor.
-
Guys, one of you
-
pass the ball rudy there was a break there
-
