Swansea City v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

If our players had some brains, they would get the ball to Gabby as much as possible now the young inexperienced full back is on a yellow.

[Mister E]

Actually, you can see why Randy doesnn't come to the games anymore; their gameplay is so unwatchable ...

Am sat in McDonalds using the free wifi, some excuse for a mother has just told one of her kids to 'shut the fuck up and eat your burger'

When I was in Asda this week (we probably bring it upon ourselves going in to places like Asda and McDonalds), I saw a man say to (presumably, I didn't stop to confirm) his son, who was about 3-4 years old "stop crying, you little twat", can't beat some good firm parental discipline.

[Legion]

We're shocking.

[Compass]

STFU Heskey you big baby.

[brontebilly]

cant see that guy richards lasting to the end of the game either. gabby has the easy beating of him and now on a yellow. 3 points here if mcleish makes the right substitutions.

feel sorry for bent to be honest. he is playing Blues this season but no supply whatsoever.

[Summers]

Heskey starting to get universal stick.  It took a while. 

I think it's only ever been the managers who rate Heskey

TBH I can see why. He's useful inasmuch as he can tear defences apart by his sheer presence. But he can't be a destructive forward when he's being asked to be a creative midfielder...

That was gonna be my point. I can see why SOME managers like him, he suits their playstyle. Big man up front, can (sometimes) put himself about and make a nuisance of himself. But.. to play him in the hole where he lacks the touch, the technique, the passing, the brain.. well, pretty much EVERYTHING needed for that role he lacks. So it makes even less sense than ANY other manager playing him.

"We never really got close to Spurs, we watched them play their beautiful trademark football. I don't want to see my teams do that. I'm looking for a big reaction.

"There were a few individual performances which were so unlike these guys and we will see what the reaction is on Sunday."

McLeish added: "We have to atone for the other night. We have to apologise to the fans in the best way possible and that's with a rousing performance at Swansea.

"I know the players are capable of that. The other thing I know is, when they have had a setback before, they have bounced back. But I will look to make some changes."

And yet all he does is pick the same useless players, while ranting and raving from the touchline.

He may as well ask a chimpanzee to design a space-ship and stand there swearing and spluttering when it fails.

That isn't true. He dropped arguably our best defender Cuellar.

I did say useless. All of the players who constantly trip over their own feet and give away the ball without contributing anything to the team are still there.

[Ross]

Well this is as bad as Monday just against a team who aren't as good as Spurs.

[PaulWinch again]

Get Jenas on for Delph and Cuellar on for Hutton.

Yep, flying the Atlantic is expensive to see a pile of expensive shit, unless it is the new Tracy Emin art exhibit.

[Fergal]

I really hope we lose this one, and the next 5 games. Maybe that will be enough for Lerner and McLeish will see the boot

That's the spirit

Indeed, wanting your own team to lose is the idea.  I would rather hope we win the next 5 then goes on to becomes a great Manager.

[Compass]

How did Delph lose that ball so easily? How is he a footballer? He's a fraud.

[Shoody]

cant see that Alan Hutton lasting to the end of the game either. Sinclair has the easy beating of him and now on a yellow. 3 points here when mcleish makes no good substitutions.

feel sorry for bent to be honest. he is playing Blues this season but no supply whatsoever.

Fixed

[Martyn Smith]

Far too many unforced errors, far too easily closed down, far too reluctant to close the opposition down...just hope we can hold it at 0-0 to h/t then FFS Alex please do something...
