Post by: Toronto Villa on March 19, 2016, 04:31:41 PM
Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Cissokho, Clark, Lescott, Westwood, Gil, Gana, Veretout, Ayew, Gestede

subs: Okore, Bacuna, Sinclair, Agbonlahor, Sanchez, Green, Bunn.

I certainly don't understand having two left footed CB's. Didn't Okore have a decent game last time out?

That is an absolutely dire team and formation.  The only person capable of providing any sort of width is in the middle.  If you're going to pick Gestede, stick two players who can cross in, in a 4-4-2.  It's the ONLY way the guy is ever going to score any goals.  He was a crap player at Blackburn, but Blackburn just learned to bang cross after cross in for him, and if you do that, he'll get on the end of some of them.  About the only formation Garde hasn't tried is 4-4-2, but in Gestede you've got a player who almost makes it obligatory to play that way, if he's going to start.

The back four should be Richards, Okore, Lescott and Cissokho. We looked mostly solid with that formation a few games ago. Why doesn't Garde play Green and Lyden? What is there to lose now? No imagination  whatsoever.

He might want to leave but he not have a choice in the matter. He's under contract and unless there is a specific clause that allows him to leave then we have the right to keep him. Garde even addressed that recently that a players contract isn't only written as good for the player and to be observed when things are going well for them.

There is no coincident that Westwoods introduction as a starting Villa player happens right when Villa makes the transition from European candidate to Relegation candidate. He puts any offensive of ours to sleep, with a keen chance of giving away a counter with those side-and backwards passes.

Yet there he is...week out and week in...just killing creativity, opportunity and hope.

Decent enough. Gestede has played well but, had he been more intelligent he could've got Williams sent off and we'd probably be winning.

Veretout is woeful.  Dont see why so many rave about him for I'm brutally  honest.

I don't think he is effective in that more advanced role.  I would prefer to see him next to Gueye in a deeper role and someone a bit more mobile in that position. 

Decent half from us though.  Gueye been the best player on the pitch and we've had a couple of decent chances.

Commentary on what i'm watching here just said that a couple of the Villa players had been 'excellent'. Veretout and Gueye I believe. Seems a rarity that a word like that is used.
Swansea fans booing at half-time too. They might have been booing us for being shit, mind.

We lost 3-0 to our own U-21 team!

We're crap but we didn't.

We did (http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/aston-villa-lose-to-their-own-under21-side-in-front-of-remi-garde-a3186411.html)

So Ayew and Bacuna are U21's?

This is probably crazy radicalism, but could we not take a defender off for a forward seeing as we're losing?

But that would mean we might put men into their box. You can get injured that way you know! Better to "keep our powder dry" and hope they score an OG as we sit back.

Team happy to get on the bus home, another game avoiding injury so they can move to a club they like in the summer. Job done.

Twats.

Can't see any of our current squad playing in the premier league next season or ever again.

Oh for sure. I mean move on to a club with ambition in the Championship. Someone with greater ambition than us. Like Sheffield, or Derby.

They won't want them. At a guess our squad is lower championship standard.

They really are just looking to avoid injury before the transfer window at this point. I makes me SO angry. Garde isnt much better either, just casually taking another loss.

we have been horribly poor second half

Swansea increase their effort a bit at the start of the second half, with Guzan's helping hand that was enough

Ayew, Gueye, Just head, Gil, Veretout all went missing as is their wont once we go behind

think Clark has had a decent game today

Westwood, golden set piece there from a non entity

Yep. We could have done more but given the disaster that was the club and boardroom and in light of some of the recent changes I wonder if it would have actually made any difference at all. It might have provided the perception of trying but the issues might have been so deep down it wouldn't have affected anything at all.

I don't listen to Talksport very often, but the bloke who's commentating with Stanley has just said of a Swansea player:

"He's only small, he's tiny. You could fit him in your pocket. But if he was in your pocket he'd rob you of possession that's for sure"

I'm looking for pleasure where I can.

We know he's had a useless bunch of crap to work with BUT he has done nothing to make me think he can be a successful manager. And he clearly can't motivate people. If you watch MOTD later have a look at Ranieri. Remi Garde is the polar opposite to him in every way. Nice bloke but not up to the job.
