Much better lineup than the game last weekend...it would be our strongest starting XI if we could swap out Gallini for Bunn, Elphick for Baker, and add a new midfielder into the mix (on the basis that our best options of Gardner and Westwood are shit).

Totally agree. I'm glad to see Amavi in the game, and that if Richards is going to be playing its not centrally.

Also, glad to see Gardner get a second shot to prove his worth. I'm sure he knows his match vs Wednesday was awful. He has to redeem himself.

Ayew and McCormack up front, as it should be.

SCORE SOME GOALS.

I would pronounce it TSHI-bola myself.  I guess it's not a natural sound in the English language so some commentators will have problems with it.  Like Petra Kvitova - they always say Kavitova.

People who say Tishbola are people who can't read.

Exactly what I was just thinking. He's a Westwood clone, isn't he? Jogs around in the middle, plays a few easy passes, doesn't track his man, doesn't win the ball, and doesn't offer anything going forwards.

It's been ages since we had the sort of midfielder who wants the ball all the time and dictates the play.

Even with new players the mental strength is so brittle.  It really doesn't matter who we play, if we let a goal in you can see the confidence rush out of them.  I actually thought we were playing well until they scored with their first shot of the game.  Gardner was pretty good for first 20 but he struggles when we are under pressure and then becomes mistake prone.  Hopefully RDM can inject a bit of confidence back.

Ayew just never seems that bothered, if he could at least pretend he wants to play it would be a step in the right direction.

Appalling hold up play from him throughout anyway, taking three touches and losing it when a give and go would be sufficient

McCormack, Green and Grealish have been anonymous, Green seems a little timid in his play so far

Middle two, Gardner and Tis unable to set any kind of tempo or structure to our play, Gardner's legs appear stuck in treacle

Amavi not exactly relishing the physical exchanges, players getting behind him regularly

Richards playing like the absolute clown he is

Okore seems as last ditch as ever and booting everything long in a fit of panic

Baker just brainless in the extreme, leaving a massive gap behind him for their goal

Great test of character now for these players and the new management team

What I'd like to know is whether we have a sports psychologist working with the players. After the calamity of last season I would say that would be essential. We crumbled so badly after they scored and it was like watching any number of games last season.

I thought Green and Ayew linked up well in the early part of that half and we got some decent crosses in which is ironic with Gestede not playing. Gardner has been woeful and although Richards started well, he reverted to type towards the end of the half. I think we're missing a commanding presence at the back which shows how much we need Elphick.

I still think we've got too much for them though although we'll try our best not to win with our backs to the wall for thd last 15 minutes.

Is it Gardner who is the absolute fanny in the midfield for their goal who is first beaten physically to  lose the ball and then outpaced as the player strolls around the outside of him.

Title: Re: Luton Town v Aston Villa - Match Thread
Post by: martin o`who?? on August 10, 2016, 08:53:34 PM
I am struggling to see what Gardner offers, or will ever offer.
He seems to me to be another in a long,long line of anonymous Villa midfielders.
Has no impact on the game other than jogging around a bit.
I really do wonder how all his injuries have retarded his development, he was VERY highly rated at one time but I must admit I have never really seen what all the fuss was about.

This is one of the most abject attempts at defending I've ever seen.

Okore and Richards are abysmal. Charging out of position. The own goal caps it off.

There is no protection from the midfield. Gardner cannot play as a two.

This is fucking atrocious.

Gardner shoves someone, the question is how on Earth did he manage to catch him to shove him, he's not been anywhere near anyone all night, donkey, that's why the Forest fans said he wasn't particularly good second season around.

To be fair, most of their players actually genuinely look better than ours - stronger, better touch, better off the ball.  There will always be a few top-flight (or 2nd tier) players who shouldn't be there and make it off the back of classy teammates.  We are like an experiment in what happens when you put 11 such passengers together.  There doesn't appear to be a limit to the level we could potentially drop with this bunch.

So has everyone woken up now to the fact we haven't remodelled the squad anywhere near enough yet and the embaressments from last season are likely to do really poor this season.

Promotion with these useless twats my arse.

Did anyone seriously think we'd get promoted this season? I've not heard anyone say that. (Are you joking?)

Plenty of comments about pissing the division or being there or there abouts.

Blimey. I don't understand how people can think that. The bottom 4/5/6 of the top division are probably equal to top 4/5/6/7 Championship. We were relegated in embarrassing circumstances. We just need to stay up.

It's not a coincidence that we play Richards, Hutton and Okore in defence, with Gardner as part of a two man midfield and we look abysmal. They're awful players low on confidence.

None of them should play for us again.

Does seem to be the attitude of just turn up and win with this lot. We're on more money so that's how the world works right!

I don't know where they've got that idea from seeing as they've won a handful of games in a year and get routinely beaten all the time.

The problem is they are genuinely poor players with terrible mentalities and in some cases attitudes. We need about 5 more in.

Well we have competent coaches on the bench...Bond was part of a Spurs set up that finished top 6 regularly and Clarke has achieved good results with teams he's been assistant at.

It's time we called some of these players out and get shot of them.....if it takes us another season to get out of the championship so be it as we have next to no chance of promotion the state we're currently in.

And that is ridiculous considering Lerner is no longer the owner.
