Why are these pair still here? is it because they were down to Lange and not Gerrard?
We have been distinctively shit ever since these pair walked through the door.
I'm sorry, but the whole coaching staff around the first team squad should shoulder the blame, not just what Gerrard brought with him.
-
You can talk all you like about Luiz and the penalty, but leaving so much space for their first goal should be stackable in itself.
-
Good chance they'll be gone when the new manager brings his own people in.
-
MacPhee was already at the club when SG came, he might have been a Dean Smith appointment, who knows but SG didn’t appoint him
-
The fact that they have already worked under two managers during their short time at the club might be telling. I always got the impression that they weren't Dean Smith's appointments and that Gerrard had to inherit them, so wouldn't be surprised to see them staying under the new manager.
-
We need somebody in charge on Sunday, to be fair.

And that about 10 minutes before that they'd hit a corner straight to a man on the edge of the box and only a deflection had saved us
-
Wasn't Danks one of the appointments that started to undermine Smith after Terry and OKelly left?
-
Don't really get why we fired Neil Critchley.
Not like he was some Gerrard lieutenant and he managed Blackpool to mid table in championship last season which was a really good season for them.
Surely would've made more sense to keep him for 1-2 games rather than give these pair of jokers a chance.

McPhee arrived under Smith but no one knows if it was Smiths decision. Either way, the then Manager altered his usual approach to incorporate long throws, some shithousing, booting it long from the KO, a high level of aggression, passing notes around and it began to fall apart. Was this down to the new set piece coach? Well Smith certainly hasn't employed any of those tactics at Norwich, nor did he before so you can put two and two together.......McPhee was active on the touchline and his input raised plenty of eyebrows and eventually Smith went.
Despite Gerrard bringing his own set piece coach McPhee was retained and gradually, once again, became the most prominent member of the backroom staff right up to the last game, giving specific instructions to the subs. However, the tactics seemingly accepted by Smith were nowhere to be seen under the new manager save for the odd Matty Cash long throw.
You can't hold this bloke responsible for our demise but he has certainly been around for all of it and while there have been a few successes, in general our set pieces have been very poor culminating in that first goal last night.
It's an oddity.

What about the Luiz corners?

I can't recall them being a thing under Smith, only this season and like I said there has been the odd success.

They did keep trying that long ball to the back stick, then nod it back for Danny Ings to attempt an elaborate scissor kick thing for a while after it worked that once.

At least we haven't got to watch MacDonald bungle his way through another caretaker stint

I still think we'd have given him the job full time if Newcastle 6-0 hadn't happened. That first caretaker spell wasn't too bad in terms of points.
Second time he did it he was miles out of touch and then the youth system alleged abuse reared up.
It's a shame Boateng and Delaney have both left the club in last 6 months as even putting those two in charge for a couple of games and people would get behind it.

The Delaney departure still rankles with me, almost done for the sake of it to get the managers man in rather than in the interest of the club.

Or Eric (free-hit) Black play some of the worst ever football I've seen in 40 year of attending Villa Park.

Danks and McPhee sounds like a crap detective series.

I can't help feeling Nanny MacPhee would be a better option!
-

John Percy has suggested Aaron Danks, was sidelined by Gerrard.
Ashley Preece said on Aaron Danks
"I got a call late last night wanting me to return back to the training ground to inform me to step forward & lead the team across the next couple of days. I'm a local lad. I'll have friends and family in all 4 corners of the stadium. #avfc fans will be huge for us"
-
I'm hoping to see Cutler more involved on the sideline now. I used to really enjoy watching his enthusiasm during Deano's reign.
-

Like all TV detectives, they each have a personality quirk.
Danks has a 50 year old Citroen 2cv which he calls 'Dolly' and sleeps in, as his wife kicked him out last year but he's kept it under his hat.
MacPhee is actually entirely a figment of Danks' imagination.
Like Chuffy in Armstrong and Miller. But nobody will remember that.

I was going to down the Kidergarten Cop route for MacPhee. In line with being a Nanny,

How Nanny McPhee keeps surviving is a mystery. He must have some seriously incriminating stuff on Purslow!

Yeah, I'd expected Critchley to hang around a bit longer too.

Yes, if we are to bid adieu to McPhee now that Kasabian are touring again, I'll forever be thankful to Nanny for those wondrous corners. Not seen the like since the days of Stan Staunton.

Critchley is absolutely Gerrard's man - they worked together at Liverpool.

MacPhee keeps surviving the sack - how the fuck is he doing it? he's a waste of space.

Yep it's just one thing on top of another.

Such indiscipline is simply not palletable.

Just noticed that Danks is a shi*** fan. Will have to forgive him whilst he has his 15 mins of fame

WTF is the point in MacPhee? I’m sure Set Piece Coach is a made up job title. Like a Waterboy it’s given as a ‘pity job role’ to the special lad.
-

So they’ve a Villa fan getting them going
Likewise it’s taken one of them to start us up this season

Considering we scored from a set piece routine today I would have thought the point was fairly obvious
-
If these two and Big Cuts can manage the football side for a short while we can get the next manager in without getting frantic about it. So far so good
-
Is MacPhee on the bench today, i haven't noticed him.
-

yes

I spotted him. He was talking intimately to a clipboard for some reason. It wasn't even an attractive clipboard from what I could see.
-
Credit to McPhee, the routine for Baileys goal was superb.
-
He was lapping it up at the end. Fair play!
-
I said this yesterday….Dream Team!
-
I wonder how .any of McPhee's ideas we shut down by the unimaginative coaches
-
Credit to McPhee, the routine for Baileys goal was superb.
Yes, it was great to see. Doug had been zinging the corners in to great effect, so Brentford weren't ready for the short ball.

I always thought Danks and Macphee deserved a go. Glad my suspicions were proven correct.

It’s worked once all season, not really earning a wage is he.

Well that's also untrue. The southampton goal came from a set piece routine, Doug's goal against arsenal, and i'm sure there were others.
-
Really impressed with the Danks interview after the game. He’s clearly a very good coach and I hope he gets to stay on with whoever comes in along with Cutler and maybe even McPhee.

I've just watched that and came here to say the same. Plus, I know it's not important in the grand scheme but it was nice to hear a Brummie accent talking about a great win again, even if he is from the dark side

I just loved the last line where he says he's knackered after the last few days but will be in there tomorrow morning. He gave it his best, Nose or not, he gave it his best. Respect.

Funny how the current interim manager and the bloke who oversees our academy are both noses.

Obviously not proper Blues or whatever they say. One thing that struck me when we got the first goal was the team running to the bench. These coaches have respect from the players. Haven’t seen that for a while. Would love to know what the players thought of SG and his coaching staff.
-
No Emery until 1st November so Danks still in charge for Newcastle, presumably.

That's fine, when we batter them it'll just give Dick a better platform to build from.
-
Will McPhee stay?
-
Think they both stay. Seem to be club employees rather than linked to a manager
-
No idea. If the set pieces are more like they were against Brentford than Fulham, he's welcome to.
-
Clean slate for everybody I think.
-
If yesterday was proof of their true abilities then they both deserve to keep their positions.
-
Maybe the double pivot and wingers wasn’t down to these two after all? Not that I want to take credit away from these, bust sacking a manager and having one employed so quickly who play this way, makes me wonder if we had sounded out Emery already.
-
So a manager literally phoning it in was better than Gerrard.
-

Nah, I think it was totally down to Danks and whoever else was around this week. Even if the owners had been having conversations with Emery for a while it's doubtful that he'd know enough at this stage to be picking the team like that.
-
Danks for the Emery.
-

Yep, does add extra layers to that decision now. Look we do have players who can play like that if these others are dropped.
-
I hope they both stick around under the new regime. Mr Wakeman gets a bit of stick on here but not every set piece is going to work like perfection.
-
"Big Cutts" was very much to the fore yesterday, at least as much as McPhee.
-
To be fair to Nanny and the other coaches we have no idea if SG took their advice/recommendations? Looking at the freedom they played with on Sunday I get the feeling SG was very controlling and the players were playing with fear?
-
I do wonder if Danks/McPhee are effectively Lange signings - bought in so that there's some continuity in the staff when the coach changes.
Given the timing of both of them coming to the club, plus the departures of ROK & Terry, it does make me wonder if Deano's days were numbered before last season began.
Either way, Danks has made a good first impression & I think the roadie gets a bit more stick on here than he actually deserves.
-

I noticed that too.
Contrast with Gerrard, MacAllister and Critchley who clearly enjoyed a nice sit down.

Wasn't that confirmed as being the case around the time they joined?

Ballague suggested talks started properly about a week ago.

I really hope we keep him, he's so highly rated and Martinez has said numerous times how it's great to work with him.
-

If that is the case, I know we were joking a bit about him setting the team up on Sunday but I wonder if it was a trial run, as much for him as anything to see if the players would fit his system, and being happy with the result he's agreed take it.
Probably bollocks but hey.

When looking at Emery's trusted back room team one is a very experienced GK coach Javi Garcia so i hope there remains a place for Cutts

Funny that Villa currently managed by a Blues fan, and Blues managed by a Villa fan.

Not sure you can have two first team goalkeeping coaches. Cutts is very highly thought of and if we were to lose him I'm sure he'll have a queue of clubs inviting him to join. Martinez has previously worked with Garcia and I did smile at Emi's Instagram post when Emery and Garcia were sacked by Arsenal; "Thank you, Unai and Javi. I'm sorry we let you down. It's out fault for not performing the right way. I'm sure we will meet again." Psychic Emi!
-
I hope they both stick around under the new regime. Mr Wakeman gets a bit of stick on here but not every set piece is going to work like perfection.
I can think of three goals scored this season as a clear result of training ground set piece innovation.
That’s surely a decent percentage of goals we’ve scored this season.

I agree. It's going to take time, but you'd already say that we look more dangerous from corners, if only because Dougie might score from one (as others have said, something that we've missed since Stan left!)
Think Danks/McPhee/Cutts are a decent threesome to keep continuity in the backroom staff
-
Probably not deserving of a thread in its own right, but i really hope we sack our medical staff. Absolutely idiotic with Emi, and it's not been the first time, either.
-
Why are British managers always so slow to make changes?
We have it with Southgate at world cups, DS and Gerrard weren't great at all at tweakings things when games were in the balance and now we make changes when we're 3-0 down ffs.
This is one of the things I'm most looking forward to under Emery. Someone who will make 1-2 changes early second half or even at half time when we're drawing or narrowly losing.
Real bugbear of mine. Inexplicable when you have 5 subs in play aswell.
-
It’s very possible these two might not be needed much after Tuesday

He’s gorra go Tom.

Hi 1152 Xtra AM.
Danks out.

-
Emery must be ruthless with the coaching staff as well. Danks, McPhee and Cutler need the push ASAP. None of them are fit for purpose.
Cutler always gets a good press, but Martinez's form has regressed over the last eighteen months under his "coaching"
-
From his post match comments he almost seemed to be glad to be out of it to be honest.
-
I got that impression as well. He doesn't seem comfortable in front of the camera at all.
-
Neither are very popular or rated. Cutler is falling in to those categories as well.
-
Only so many coaching staff you can work through until you start looking elsewhere.

You forgot to ask for a bronx hat.
-
From his post match comments he almost seemed to be glad to be out of it to be honest.
Yeah - also came across that he assumed he'd go back to a coaching role at the club. He mentioned something about that being his original brief as part of our "project" or similar.
-

I agree Emi's form has regressed. If a change of coach can turn that around, I'm all for it.

He had an incredibly difficult job to take on two games with such little prep time when we were in freefall. I think 3 points is ahead of what most of us would have expected if Gerrard has stayed, so despite Saturdays shitshow I still think he did ok.

Aston Villa can confirm that Goalkeeping Coach Neil Cutler has left the club.
Aaron Danks will be leaving the first-team set-up and is considering a new role within the club. Austin MacPhee will remain as part of the coaching staff.
https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1587119329576976385?s=20&t=ufRzkS0xntvy_9b0oskGMA
MacPhee = indestructible.
-
Macphee is like Jesus of Nazareth.
-
Cutler seemed like a good bloke. Best of luck to him. Probably for the best we need a complete clean sweep as we have been under acheiving for too long.
Suprised mcphee has kept his role though

I wonder if Danks will be offered the youth set up as that seems to have started to struggle recently.

Guess McPhee must have shown Emery a looped video of last week's corner kick routine and Dougie's Olimpico goals.
Because he obviously hasn't got a clue about defending corners or free-kicks into the box.
Or getting anybody on the end of a corner into the penalty area.
-
Just wondering why people are so sad (on Twitter) that Cutler has gone? Is he that good? What’s he done? Just curious.
-
Well Emi seems very sad about him leaving.
-
Ten years from now, as nuclear war and environmental catastrophe have wiped out 75% of humanity, Austin MacPhee will still be trying to teach Villa defenders how to mark an attacker at corners.
-
Well Emi seems very sad about him leaving.
Emi is always sad when someone leaves.
-
The last of the Deano era leaves. Seems sad to me. So I’m sad along with Emi.
-
We need lots of change and I am all for giving Emery all the clearance he needs. We just got battered and we are just above the bottom 3. And while MacPhee might be here for now if he's not up to it, short of having pics of Purslow in a compromising position with a vicar, he'll be gone too.
-

He's very well regarded and respected by other GK coaches.

Indeed. Probably the best coach we've had these last few years. Newcastle must be kicking themselves, they appointed a new first team goalkeeping coach 10 days ago.

I've no doubt he's well respected and comes across as being a genuine guy. However, I'm all for Emery doing what he needs to do to push us up the table.
Given the way Martinez has regressed over the last year, it doesn’t fill you with confidence that Cutler has been doing his job properly

I’m thinking Emery needs to do whatever he wants. Give him total backing. If it means moving coaches on then so be it. Part of the game these days I guess. If he’s so highly regarded then he’ll walk into another job.

And surely the first job of your stand in goalie is to be ready if called upon? Olsen has been absolute gash, like a rabbit in the headlights.

Exactly. Standards have been allowed to drop on the latter stages of Smiths reign and throughout Gerrards reign (of terror). If a new broom means removing a couple of bookends then so be it
-
I reckon McPhee is just a hard fucker and everyone is too scared to sack him. He’ll be around till the end of days, still letting Dougie take free kicks.
-
It appears that Cutler only coaches Martinez.
Olsen doesn't look like any sort of goalkeeper. He's toss from what I've seen so far.

Really? Never would have thought them as lazy (or all 8m(?) of them anyway).

Er, no. The saying is 'don't postpone until tomorrow what can be done today' (Skjut inte upp till morgondagen det du kan göra idag).
And, yes, having Robin as the national goalkeeper tells you much about the state of the national team.

I reckon McPhee is just a hard fucker and everyone is too scared to sack him. He’ll be around till the end of days, still letting Dougie take free kicks.
If he is hard , he must be the least hard person I’ve seen since Charles Hawtrey 😂

Sorry mate but from working there for 4 years that was often said. Leaving work early to go and sail the dinghy was much more important.

I think by virtue of being Swedish I can claim the authority on this one.
You might have it mixed up with "det finns alltid imorgon" (there's always tomorrow) which is something you might say when you have failed and 'you go again'.

Grabs popcorn and takes a seat as an English bloke who has worked in Sweden battles the language against an actual Swede who speaks the language.

May be so. I have no wish to argue against the historic culture and defer to you as you are supreme there, however I am absolutely certain about the workplace culture at Volvo, Torslanda PV offices in the 21st century.

Haha...means nothing these days. Traditions have been eroded behind recovery. We all have one digital culture forced upon us by Yanks.

Any jobs going ?

There's truth to that, sadly.

Curious as to how you think it is "forced"?

I refuse to answer that on grounds that whilst I am comfortable with being proven wrong once a day, twice a day would be humiliating😟

We are, for example, forced to listen to people who watch US TV shows and films, and then wander around calling people 'guys', having 'date night' with their children, going to the 'bathroom' for a piss, and many other abominations. It is unavoidable.

I have a big CNN habit that I am having difficulty breaking, same news different hosts, what do I do?

Worst of all, people who say “Can I get?” when ordering something.
WORSE THAN THE NAZIS.

Nobody is forcing you to do any of that.

Can anyone explain why MacPhee has been retained?

They like making up limericks about him.

Other than cutting yourself from society completely it is unavoidable.

My guess - the only coaching position that Emery didn't have a ready-made replacement for, so possibly going to give him the rest of the season (or less) to prove himself.

I'm sorry but that's inappropriate. They are way worse than that.
