Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

No and no.

We have had so much time and so many chances to get out of the shit. And yet, here we are. Worse than ever.

That's the thing. We're actually getting worse. Not better, not "kind of the same", but deteriorating.

Just heard there was banners that were taken down saying Houllier out!

This one? And that was before the game!

To be honest, before the game, that is fucking stupid.

How on earth was that going to help?

If you see the bottom of the banner, it's signed by Dunne ans Collins.

The list of other potential managers is giving me nightmares.

To think I pessimistically predicted 46 points for Villa not so long back. We'll need 13 out of 24 to get even that.

I also predicted that Houllier would end in tears. Sabbatical year to manage Villa my arse!

From the moment he came in he gave the air of a man in cruise control, that we were little more than a boost to his pension fund.

We'd have more chance of getting points if our remaining games were against top six sides. It's the only thing that seems to motivate our lot.

The players clearly don't want him there, as bad as we sometimes were under O'Neill, the vast majority of the time the players put everything they had in to the game, you could criticise their ability but never their effort. Now we don't even bother, and as much as I dislike Houllier, I detest the players even more. Whatever's going on, whatever their relationship with the manager, they should put the effort in. The lot of them can fuck off.

so called stars don't like or understand him and we need change asap, they are the ones who will get us out of this shit, Houlier and GMac won't, they are quite clearly a couple of fuckwits

I'm sorry but all those calling for houllier to go really need to look at the so called stars who for the vast majority of this season have simply failed to live up to their overhyped reputations.

Young, Downing, Dunne,Petrov, Warnock,and to a certain extent Agbonlahor all have flattered to deceive.

They seemed to do ok under the other manager? Agbonlahor, Young continuously played out of position, Warnock totally ignored and Downing has been our best player this season. These are all decisions made by the current manager.........

sorry but they arent getting us out of this position are they?

Only two of them started today.....

Even then we lose heroically. We don't win.

Looks like the owner has copyrighted his banner :-)

Before the city game we were picking up and turning things around - since that night we have been in freefall and the buck stops at the top. We were totally unacceptable today and I've heard houllier saying we were unlucky and hit the bar - no Gerard-you have lost the team and they are not playing for you, please do the honourable thing and go.

Our club is a shambles right now, record debts and players who don't seem to care - sort it out randy and fast- we will all be here long after you have gone and this is now farcical.

The manager hAs clearly lost the dressing room
And why albrighton was subbed I find amazing - what an utter shambles we look when you think how much this team cost.

Just back for the game in time to see Houliers Sky interview nonsense.
Houllier out- that is all.

I know it's a horrible thought, but we are in an 8-game season, and more important than tactics or quality of football, are motivation and personality. Sorry, but he's our best bet for staying up.
