Aston Villa v Tesco Bags Post-Match Thread

[rutski]

i am amazed at the support of our club from alot of our so called supporters. take a long hard look at yourselves. and to all blaming tactics for playing with 1 less in the team, well, man utd and chelsea did it really well today didnt they!

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.

they got fuck all and man u got fuck all! FACT!

They conceded no further goals when down to nine men FACT!

how many did manure concede?

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

This.

It's the lack of a plan B and lack of desoire that p****d me off.

[London Villan]

Getting a man sent off makes things tough, but as both West Brom showed last year and QPR also showed a few weeks ago it doesn't excuse clueless football and baffling substitutions (or lack of them).

If the team had lost yesterday, but battled to the end and really gone for it then I don't think there would have the level of criticism we have on here at the moment.

I couldn't give a shit about ManU and Chelsea. They're not the team I've supported for over 50 years.
Players and management have never had it so good. They seem to forget the main reason why they are where they are. They DO have an obligation to sort out shit, reorganise so it's less shit and run their bollocks off if necessary.  No one seemed to want to do that for us yesterday.
I want my team to do well. Playing the way we did yesterday will not contribute one iota to that happening.

This was posted in another thread - and sums up why I am fed up.

The stats are the stats of a team in trouble - and apart from City we havent played anyone any good yet.

Worrying times.

Manu conceded 5 (five) when down to ten men.

The point us we don't currently have the players where losing a msn can be easily dealt with. We lack the nous and the experience in key positions to just shrug it off.

Worrying times.

Fewer successful passes than anyone but three teams.

Fewer shots on goal than anyone but four teams.

Fewer shots on target than anyone but two teams.

And this in a pretty easy start to the season, fixtures-wise. We're in for a very long, very hard season, i fear.

Chelsea should have got a result, they created chances whilst down to nine. United were ripped to shreds but look at some of the goals they conceded, there's one where James Milner plays a one two and Ashley Young doesn't track him, being one man down doesn't excuse that. They score another where there are two unmarked players at the far post from a corner, being one man down doesn't excuse that.

We conceded yesterday from a corner, being one man down doesn't excuse that. These are goals you'll concede with 11 on the pitch if players aren't on their toes.

Our passing is woeful, the coaching staff should be ashamed, this isn't all McLeish's fault, we've had this problem for a while, but he is in charge now and he needs to address it, we give the ball away way too easily, that is something we should be able to put right.

I reckon we'd have done better if we'd only lost a Yahoo, but if we'd lost a Skype we might done a Man Ure.

I would expect a well drilled team to have a plan for matches where one of the team get sent off. It would probably include playing a little more compact, retaining possession and generally working harder to cover more ground. Yesterday we did exactly the opposite and were shocking. rutski, you are right in questioning the attitude of some of our fellow supporters but yesterday's game made me realise that the quality of coaching at VP has not improved with the arrival of the new manager and we seem to be making the same mistakes time and again. If we were trying something radical and it wasn't working then I could accept that, but our performance was just a replay of all the other dismal displays which we've seen over the last 2 or 3 seasons. The players need to take some responsibility however they didn't seem to be any more organised or motivated than during the darkest days of Houlliers term. I'd prefer not to criticise the club but yesterday made me realise that we are going backwards.

Before anyone says " Don't blame McLeish" who the hell can we blame??? We are boring to watch the team are not interested this was evident to see on Saturday when teams go down to ten men they usuallput up a fight what did we do? Rolled over and didn't bother. The sooner Mcleish goes the better otherwise we are going to be in real trouble. Sinderland next then Norwich and Swansea before the real big games come along. We are a joke there is no atmosphere at the ground any more. For christ sake lets do something and start letting Mcleish know that we don't want him.

He is now the first manager for 32 years to lose at home against the baggies what other records will he make ? The first manager to take both Bham teams down. We have had enough of this boring football do us a favour and go.
