At least if he was sacked it would lift the mood up and we could be seeing players free from the shackles that our rubbish manager has enforced on them. We'll probably see quality players like Ireland and N'Zogbia starting before Heskey. Gardner also had no attack role today. What a waste of talent.1. Heskey didn't start before Ireland and N'Zogbia. They all came on as subs.2. Who in the midfield today would you have asked to play the Petrov role protecting the back four then if not Gardner - Bannan? Gabby? You can't have a midfield that are all playing just off the front two.I don't think the problem today was anything to do with being too defensive or picking a team that was too defensive. It was purely that we were shit in possession of the football and created absolutely nothing despite the team having Gabby, Keane, Bent, Albrighton, Bannan and Gardner in it. That is not a defensive line-up.1. Heskey came on the pitch before Ireland and N'Zogbia. He was McLeish's first sub so he started before them. He also started in the Man City again before Ireland and Zog.2. Herd.The players have shown they can keep the ball against teams lately. It's the fact Alex has this terrible mentality of playing deep at the start of the match that we have no shape at bringing the ball forward well enough. I would sack him now and allow a caretaker to take over to the end of the season. They cannot be any worse than McLeish. He is the cancer of football.

That is not a defensive line-up.This is the argument that I'm fed up of hearing now.Picking lots of attacking players does not make you an attacking manager and does not make good attacking football. To play the right football to make the most of our attacking talent we need to keep hold of the ball better and we need everyone to be looking to make themselves available for the pass. The current situation is that the players are static and lots of people are trying to hide, which forces the safety first shit we're getting used to.

The mentality and obvious lack of footballing preparation they do lead to a lack of confidence and a tendency to hide on the pitch. Players need training, help, off-field preparation. There is little evidence of this at Villa.
