I have no idea how we will play. I have no idea if this will work. All I want at FT is 3 points. However it arrives.

That's the strongest team I think he can pick with what we have available. Wing backs crucial as is the performance of the midfield, in particular Drinkwater.

No side has scored more 90th+ minute goals in the Premier League than Aston Villa this season (4). However, only one of these strikes has affected the result of the match - Matt Targett's winner against Brighton in October.

Optimistically Drinkwater maybe after an additional week of training and acclimatization and not being thrown in versus one of the best midfields on the planet might be better than he was in his debut.

It's more or less our strongest available eleven but that doesn't mean it's a good team.  I'd take a point now, with improvement from Drinkwater, a steady game from Reina, and an overall more positive and committed performance as bonuses.

I think Nakamba benefits by not playing last week. Luiz was a disgrace so can't have any complaints about being dropped. Thought Chester might have come in for Konsa but that aside the team is along expected lines. Wing backs hopefully will have licence to get forward.

Post by: Lastfootstamper on January 18, 2020, 02:50:42 PM
It's the 11 I'd have gone with. With Guilbert and Targett back in, we've a better shape. Need the midfield two to engage unlike last week, and the front three to work their nards off, but run smarter, not necessarily harder.

Let's have these, make my decision over whether to travel down and back from York on Tuesday night a straightforward one.

Yes but it's not just a case of 'Don't worry Danny, play yourself in, get up to speed, you've got loads of time'; we're in desperate need of wins and he has to contribute to that as well as getting match fit.

We needed signings that could hit the ground running, given our position. But I accept he needs to be playing to get to anywhere near that level of fitness.

I know it sounds like we're going on about him but fucking hell, Drinkwater is miles off the pace.

Even by our own very low standards of recent years, he's absolutely dreadful.  Worst debut I can recall last week, and if anything he's been worse today.  Woefully inept.

Drinkwater has given the ball away every time he's touched the ball, and now he's booked for a rubbish tackle.  Still, good that he's "getting up to speed".  He's fucking wank.

A terrible buy. Nakamba, too. Dreadful players. They both look so so uncomfortable on the ball.

Strange, Nakamba’s best game so far was Brighton at home, since then he’s been gash.

Twin turbo fuel injected gash

Ubergash.

Omnigash.

Here we're seeing the problems with no actual striker, AEG simply dosen't know the angles to run or when to come in short to pick up the ball. Mind you Wesley didn't really have an idea of what to do either regarding that.

Out of the 23 games we've played this season, I can count on one hand the number of games we've looked okay - 2 of which were Norwich and Burnley where the opposition were dreadful.

This performance today isn't a one off... It's our usual affair. Only 2 or 3 of them appear switched on week after week. No urgency, no effort and very little ability. Smith just cannot get a song out of them. We're going down, and if anyone thinks any differently, can I have some of what you're having please.

I am really trying to contain my growing resentment for the mess this club is becoming again.

Terrible recruiting, terrible “tactics”, terrible effort and urgency.

This is just abject crap. Relying on drinkwater, el Ghazi and nakamba to control the spine of the park.

We’re going backwards.

Resentment..you've got a point there, mate.

It's like 2015/16 all over again where I started loathing some of our players. It's not fully formed loathing just yet, but there are some hints of déjà vu.

Smith really needs to sort himself out.

Not a singe positive to be taken from that fucking drivel.

I know we have striker problems, but this is now compounded by a midfield that is absolute pish, and a defence occupied by Konsa and Hause who age fucking liabilities every time the ball goes near them.

But worse than all of that.
Where is the fight, the reaction to being fucking shit last week?

The manager certainly doesn’t seem to be able to instill it.

3 at the back ain’t working. You need players who can bring the ball out and fill in in midfield but our lot just keep running backwards leaving a huge gap with our non existent midfield. Dean needs to get Luiz on and flood the midfield with players even if they are all crap

Can we sack Smith at half-time...we are so far beyond inept its negligent not to get rid of him (and Suso).

Playing 3 at the back is supposed to allow the wing-backs to push on, instead we are playing 5 at the back (very poorly mind) and the midfield is awol.

We are in deep, deep trouble as-is.

Very scrappy game, almost as bad as the cabbage patch of a pitch.

We're the masters of our own downfall in giving the ball away; Hause for the goal and the three scrambles in the box all through careless balls out the back.

El Ghazi has to occupy their defenders more and offer an out ball through the channel.

Drinkwater started slowly, but since he lamped somebody he has picked up. Him and Nakamba though lack dynamism. I'd bring Luiz on for Hause and give him more licence to break forwards.

Should have scored with that header just before the break.

Smith is going the right way to become the worst manager we have had since Gerard Houllier.
McLeish wins that all day long.

Remi Garde for me.
It's been a poisoned chalice for them all really.

I've said it before, Smith's management didn't get us promoted. We were going one way under his stewardship last season until Grealish came back in and pretty much single-handedly dragged us back into the Premier League.

Smith is a chancer. We're suffering the same symptoms as Brentford before us. Everything about this season stinks.

Poor tactics, no ability to change the game. Team don't look fit and lack any effort/ability in games.. .and we've spunked over 100 million quid on pretty much garbage.

Tom Hanks is a Villa fan, but I doubt we'd give him the benefit of the doubt and let him steer us back to the Championship. Smith is employed to do a job, no matter his allegiance, and he's not bloody doing it.

Get rid.

Indiana running around but I don’t think he’s touched the ball yet as he?

Yeah, he's had a couple, nipped in and stole the ball of their defender before our goal.

Mings (on one leg) knows what's needed, whacks it miles up the pitch.

Good good point that considering the shower of s*** we served up in the first hour.

West Ham not winning today was big in the long term I suspect aswell.

Maupay is such a wanker. The skirmish at the end is the most fight I've seen out of our lot in ages

Stupid yellow, pulling a player down by the neck. No need to concede the foul given where the play was. No real danger

Why didn't Maupay get a second booking after the final whistle? Little gobshite.

Our players seemed to stick together when Maupay was kicking off yet his teammates were nowhere to be seen.

If you mean the one where he and Maupay got booked, it was Hourihane. And stopped a promising attack.
