Bolton Wanderers v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[tarzansbrother]

People need to wake up and get over them selfs with all this anti houllier shit.
He turned Liverpool into a challenging team regulary in the CL, he has vastly improved us in a short time so let's give him a chance and we might have some success.

WIth all due respect, it's nonsensical to just put it down to "anti Houllier" shit.

It's not "love him or hate him" - a lot of us can see the good work he is doing in other areas of the pitch, and are happy to acknowledge it, but you can not just ignore the frailities which persist, especially as we get more results like today, and persist in lingering a tiny number of points off the relegation spots.

As for "vastly improved us" - obviously not that much, or we wouldn't be where we are right now.

So the injuries that led to that defensive line up are all his fault. The lack of cover in defence able to fill in his all his fault. The  need to play kids, because there's no one else is all his fault.
I despair.
The need to blame Houllier is so important for some they can't see the obvious. Just look at that defence.
Walker, Young, Clarke, Baker.
How many Villa fans would have put that as the best we could offer come 5 days before kickoff.
Would you have Pauli ?

You seem to have missed the entire season up until this point, for the entirety of which we've been shit at the back.

Quite possibly, just like all those ahead of me who blame today's defence as the reason to justify another inane Houllier out shout.
You are right of course we have been shit at the back all season and for a variety of reasons.
Good man

Whos fuckin fault is it that we are shyte at the back? Obviosly not our manager and his coaching staff. You are inane if you think anything different.

[Holtenderinthesky]

RANDY  (and his mates) SHOULD CARRY THE CAN

since MON done one on us


we have been an utter shambles


the first few months...understandable


but its now March, and we are beginning to look like West Ham..... 3 months ago!!!


fuck off Randy and your mates

you only have to look at this site when "the general" fucked off when results werent going our way

anyway


we made loads of chances today, a game we should have won etc etc (west brom anyone)

0 points

You have an interesting way of wasting space.  In more ways than one.

[Mr Diggles]

THat's football sometimes. I thought we played really well, and judging by way we dominated the second half completely I thought we deserved the 3 points. But alas, our defending of corners. And also the A Young ego roadshowshould end today, Bent to take penalties from now on. In fact if Bent, Downing and Young had all scored from the chances they had, as they should have, we would have been talking about an excellent away performance that brought 5 goals.

Can't fault the manager or the majority of the players today, but we have to change the way we defend corners, change the penalty taker, and start putting away the chances we create.

Delph, Walker NRC, Clark and Baker (except for the corners) and Downing were all excellent.

We should sell Young in the summer if we get a good offer and he doesn't sign a new contract (obviously I know) and Friedel should not be our first choice goalkeeper any more, but for the lack of alternatives.

I genuinely can't even begin to make out what you're trying to say there

So you always say.

And I'm not the only one, either.

Of course not

Tone it down there maddog. The General has said he reads all the posts in his thread and comments are passed on, good or bad, but he can't speculate about playing matters.

[Sexual Ealing]

I've spent the last few months defending mr houllier on here but I'm afraid he's made his bed and has to carry the can

And the award for mixing metaphor goes to...

[Kent Villian]

At least Small Heath lost!
Seriously need a positive right now after watching GH fuck it up again with his 'tactical' substitutions.

[Tony]

The inexperienced defence angle would work if we hadn't been defending like this all season, we keep leaking goals from corners, we keep conceding late goals, there is something fundamentally wrong with how we defend corners, you don't keep getting unlucky and when it keeps happening no matter who the players are then you have to look at the system, which comes from the manager.

No you're not.
He talks in fucking riddles.

I still don't get what Geoff bloody Capes has anything to do with it.

The general did not 'fuck off,' he was advised by us to leave for a while. If you could point in the direction of someone who will pay back the £250 million he has invested and provide a written guarantee of eternal success, I'm sure Randy will look upon your request favourably.

[Blackcountry Villa]

Albion under Mowbray played good football and created lots of chances but didn't take them and couldn't defend to save their lives and look what happened to them.

2 away wins, 0 away clean sheets, missing easy chances, can't defend. Add all those together and you're in trouble.

[Tony]

Oh and Bent to take penalties? Are you sure? I've seen him miss a few.

really?

tell me more

[Crabman]

Our players are cowards, if theirs ever a fight to be had they run away from it! We concede soft goals at stupid times! We have no leader, no passion, no heart!
If these players had half the courage of the Blues team they'd be right up the top, they have ability.
The blame lies with the manager, they portray all his attributes! A bumbling idiot, saying foolish things and sitting on his hands when decisions are there to be made! Both manager and players are hiding, we are in the shit!!!
