Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[The Moose]

You made a mistake appointing Houllier, Mr Lerner, don't compound it by being weak now!

As has been said, if we go down, this will take years to put right.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Not sure what was up with Bent, no chasing down defenders, no effort.

[PeterWithesShin]

Just got back and am stunned by that. That was fucking awful. Two very shit teams playing very shit football. I can't remember the last time I saw a game with that many misplaced passes, pass that were on target were constantly miscontrolled by both sides. The only difference was one side had a bit more heart and bottle, and that won them the game.

That was a performance of a side in serious serious shit and headed for the drop, especially considering who the opposition were. For the first time this season I am doubting whether we have what it takes to stay up, because on todays performance, it didn't look like it.

Point of order:

RAL = Reform Acquisitions Limited: Randy's Holding Company
RDL = Randolph D. Lerner

[The Moose]

So - Man of the Match? I'll give it Marc Albrighton.

Any alternatives?

Kyle Walker.

P.s. If you're going to rely on crosses to create something, tell your strikers and midfielders to make a fucking effort to get into the box. I am sick to death of seeing Walker/Albrighton/Young/Downing reaching the byline to cross the ball in and to then see no fucker in the middle to benefit.

PPS I can't believe how abysmal Makoun was today, how the fuck was he kept on for 90 minutes?

That was so bad that I'm hardly bothered now - totally deserved to lose to a poor Wolves team.  The lads looked really fit and refreshed after a week off didn't they!?

The Man City decision was criminal and can't see how we'll recover from that. 

I really wanted GH to succeed after the Bent signing but its simply not going to happen now.  He's not the type of gaffer you want for a relegation battle and he's lost the fans.

BTW the Geordies will be desperate to do us after we sent them down - could come back to haunt us.

I thought Herd didnt do a lot wrong..........

[The Moose]

But that's what happens when you have one up front, but four or five trying to set him up. Their central defenders hardly had to break sweat!

Yeah. You're right. Every manager at the top of the game is wrong, and you are right. Congratulations!

[The Moose]

He lost what few supporters he had when he subbed Albrighton today. Clueless.

You took the words out of my mouth

That kids game at half time was more entertaining

I was really looking forward to seeing makoun for the first time but he is just a french petrov. No vision no idea of what is going on around him, just like the rest of the fuckwits.

Wolves shit themselves when Pires came on

Downing doesnt work on the right
Ashley doesn't work in the hole
gaby doesnt work on the wing.

This team has relagation written all over it

[The Moose]

So, Monty, the tactic is working for us, is it? Whether other teams can make it a positive or not, we demonstrably can't.

Rubbish, the pass through for Young to hit the bar was excellent. He just had no movement to pass to from Downing, who seriously underperformed, Young, likewise, Bent, likewise, and NRC, who is fine defensively but offers little when we have the ball.

So don't blame the tactic. If we can't make it work maybe we're not playing well.
