Aston Villa v Rapid Vienna Post-Match Thread

[TimTheVillain]

Petrov's penalty was so utterly dreadful too - what was it, 3 steps then a crap shot.

I knew he'd miss, it was odds on really.

[Edvard Remberg]

If I had a season ticket - i would rip it up....shame

Does Lerner has to go through the taunting of other owners? If not - he fucking should....Hurting? not like us it seems.

[KrisHacking]

Absolutely dreadful...wish they wouldn't show them on TV, the whole country then gets to see how embarrasing we are...

[VinnieChase84]

Utter utter shite!!!
I was furious this time last year but tonight the rage reaches new levels!
I am seriously struggling to remember the last time I was this embarrassed by the Villa!?
Lerner and co can fuck off as far as I'm concerned as it's there indecision that has wasted an entire fucking season!
Unbelievable!
I wonder what pr spin they will try and put on this shit!?
Wankers the lot of them

To be honest, I don't like this cup but I wanted us to put on a show tonight to put the Newcastle result behind us.

Now the confidence will be on the floor and I'm dreading Everton on Sunday.

MON really fucked us up leaving as he did, but I'm already missing him.

I cannot see us winning another game until at least a couple of weeks AFTER we get a manager!

WE ARE IN FREEFALL! Spurs 2 seasons ago.

As Paulie said there was zero threat up front. Combine that with poor defending and we is in da shit.

At least we passed it about a bit in the 1st half.

[ktvillan]

i only saw bits of it due to a shit stream but I see Davies is getting much of the blame.  I can only say the first Rapid goal was down to Beye giving it away, Cuellar losing the aerial battle and Guzan being beaten on his near post.  And the second was mostly down to Guzan's fuck up.  I've been saying for ages we need a keeper as Friedel is a has-been and Guzan is a never will be.  Neither are an improvement on Sorensen and Guzan is as bad as Carson if not worse. 

Petrov's penalty was scandalously bad, neither power or placement - a repeat of Ash's against the same opposition last year.  Is it too much to ask for a professional footballer to be able to find the corner and at least make the keeper work? 

I feel a bit for KM as he has taken over just as we have more injuries than I can ever remember under O'Neill and some of the selections were forced on him.  However he does look tactically and motivationally out of his depth and we need a new manager pronto.

Phew, i didn't renew, and drove past Villa park today on the way home to manchester, I was tempted but thank god i didn't bother!

Lost a lot of interest in football in general, but i was hoping i'd miss the Villa. I'm not

[TheEgo]

I think we will se KM rule himself out tonight. Thank god. He purses his lips too much for my liking anyway

[Smithy]

I hate losing.

But it happens, and I get over it.  What I hate more than just losing, is losing with a lack of fight.  Tonight we were absolutely toothless, and once they got the equaliser we crumpled like a cheap suit.  Genuinely embarrassing.

This season has all the hallmarks of being written off already.

9 goals conceded in a week to 2 shit teams; out of Europe in August again, an absolute joker of a caretaker still mulling over whether he wants the job and less than a week until transfer deadline day and no sign of a new manager let alone new signings... Randy Lerner sort this fecking mess out now!

Tonight was embarrassing; K Mac is starting to make M'ON look like a tactical genius with some of his selections - he is a nice bloke and a good coach with the kids but is starting to look out of his depth and the likes of Guzan, Davies and Beye should never be pulling the shirt on again

[gervilla]

Pathetic defending again.
We need someone in fast to sort this mess out.
Curtis you are some idiot, Habib Bye Bye.
Crap.

[Kingthing]

Every silver lining has a cloud, our game with Spurs at WHL will be on a Saturday.

[JJ-AV]

Three positives: Gabby's back. Ireland looked good. Less Sunday kick offs.
