Swansea City v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Summers]

I fee for Gabby. He does so much good and constantly it's all undone by someone else.

[Compass]

Delph could have gotten a second yellow.

FUCKING SUBS NOW

[Mister E]

If McMinge has any balls, he'd be making all three subbs at half-time; this really is awful.

[Apyadg]

"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.

[Martyn Smith]

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...

[Warren Aspinall]

At times when we do get the ball, we look like a useful side.

HAHA! Hardly. You have low expectations.

Very low expectations

[Fergal]

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'

[tepavilla]

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

[Somniloquism]

Gabby starting to get frustrated. He sometimes gives up in these situation in the past. If it happens in this game we will have no creativity at all.

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

[Irish villain]

Why does Hutton have to bloody hoof it like that?!

Because he has the technical ability of a turnip.

What have turnips ever done to upset you?

Never liked 'em, hence the insult!

Not as low as the aspirations of our manager and owner...

[Shoody]

Id bring on Jenas (Delph) and either Bannan or Albrighton for Heskey.

Then play either Bannan or Nzogbia behind Bent and either Nzogbia or Albrighton on the right.

3 Bookings now too. All of them 'defensive' players. Delph has to come off because of his booking. If we had Stan on the bench I would also put Herd at Right back and bring Stan on for Hutton... but we cant. Hutton cant lunge in for a tackle on Sinclair all game now.. its going to be a nightmare. Possibly put Cuellar (RB) or Clark (DM, Herd to RB) on for Hutton

                   Given
Herd   Dunne Collins  Warnock
                  Clark
                        Jenas
Nzogbia      Bannan       Gabby
                   Bent

By 70 minutes for me. Starting with Delph and Heskey off for Bannan and Jenas. Wont ever happen though.. We've been absymal.

That's the spirit
