Aston Villa v Tesco Bags Post-Match Thread

I think Chelsea showed today with 9 what we should have done with 10 yesterday

Even with 9 men QPR were at times hanging on, and Chelsea had the chances to at least of got a draw.

We just seemed to give up

Yes.  There is no way you should lose  specially to a poor team like Albion if you are down to 10 but  leading.  Our senior players and Manager were clueless.

[Chris Smith]

He punched the air in celebration when the penalty was awarded, knowing his ploy had worked.

Complete rubbish. He did what every player does if they get a pen  deserved or not. Ours would do the same in similar situation.

You're extremely naive and have never played a game of football in your life if you can't see what he was doing. Why else does he grab his leg?

We're fucking diabolical.

99% of our players are turd.

McLeish and Lerner out.

True, but then Chelsea do have much better players than us.

Conversely, so do Manu who made an even worse fist if it than we did.

The thing that annoys me about the second half yesterday is that for the first 20 minutes our players just seemed to feel sorry for themselves at the injustice of the sending off.

Only when Albion got their second was there any type of a reaction.

No we're not.

Not even close.

Why?

We are incredibly average

75% of our players our incredibly average

Shouldn't have been appointed, but should at least be given till the new year.  There doesn't seem to be anyone lining up to buy us.

Haven't you got an Albion site to be playing on?

[Eigentor]

We're not "fucking diabolical", but there are some worrying combinations:

• A paper-thin and unbalanced squad with a lot of players that are either underperforming, past it or unproven (allthough promising)
• A manager who has a record of being unable to stop the rot when it sets in, and who has a minimum of goodwill in the bank
• A owner who seems to have lost interest and who has abruptly changed the level of investment in the playing side. (Fans of Leeds and Portsmouth know that such shifts can be troublesome.)
  

However, the squad has still got some good players -- and allthough the gaping hole in our central midfield is a big worry, there is probably a decent mid-table Premier League side there somewhere. And our manager also has a record where he on occasions has managed to get alot out of little.

This can still go many ways, I feel.

What a state of affairs when the appearance of Jermaine Jenas is going to be a season highlight!

What on earth are you talking about?  Chelsea went down to nine men and didn't concede any further goals, instead coming close to getting something out of the game.

A lot of fans are upset at the way our club seems to be progressing at the moment, we don't have to pretend that everything is perfect you know.

We were shit with 11 men aswell. Ok we had 10 men but that second half performance was laughable, not one shot on target. We played like we had 8 men not 10.
