[Kent Villian]

On my Hols in Spain - think I will go & glare at some Germans by the pool in an attempt to cheer myself up!

[Risso]

I hope he substitutes Given at half time.  That twat needs a does of the Hutton and Warnock treatment.

[ez]

I think the relegation talk is a bit premature

I don't. I'm so very glad I don't feel the same about the game anymore, my weekend would be ruined.

Same here.

This has Brian littles 4-0 home defeat to Blackburn feel about it

[Villatillidie25]

That was absolutely useless. Given is totally past it. Baker looks like he isnt sure what a football is. Bannan, for all his attempted creativity, is about as useful as a chocolate kettle. El Ahmadi looks about 10 yeards off the pace, NZ is just a liability and the rest arent a lot better.
That team needs about 20-30 million investment in it; a left back, a centre mid, at least 2 creative mids and a striker. hello championship and its only 2 games in!

Karim El Ahmadi OFF Bannan OFF Ireland ON Weimann ON

How will that work? They've looked like our only two players capable of trapping a football.

Bannan has been woeful. Completely useless.

To be honest, if we just forfeited the game right now the result would be the same.

Bannan has been woeful. Completely useless.

But he's had no support and other players have been worse.

[pauliewalnuts]

And yet there are people who criticize others for not being positive and optimistic!!! 

We are shit and going down and anybody who thinks anything else needs to take the tinted specs off.  This is an awful Villa side, look at the line up ffs!!  A mixture of very average youth players that will never make it and a few over paid, over rated older pros who couldn't give a fuck.  Oh and Nathan (League 1 player at best) Delfouneso.

Rubbish.

Nobody has said we've been anything but poor so far this season.

Where people differ is in their opinion that one (or two) games is not enough to start moaning at the manager.

The problem is obviously players. Not enough of them, and the ones we have got are nowhere near good enough.

[eamonn]

Alan Tully is a ******.

[Summers]

just got home.

fuck sake. 3 - 0 already.

[The Situation]

Paul Lambert last week "it shouldn't take 40 minutes to have a shot on goal" lol

I get that Everton are a good team but this is just beyond embarrassing, especially being the HOME team.

[Mortimer's Bear]

If my father in law waxes lyrical about Coventry being 2 nil up against Bury once more, I might throw something at him!

[richard moore]

Lerners mission to turn us into the Cleveland browns is complete. Pat Murphy really enjoying it with his snide anti villa comments. Relegation looking very likely even at this stage

[Olof's Beard]

I want to cry I think!

We look awful.  I understand why people are saying don't panic but we aren't just bad, we are atrocious.  135 minutes without creating a single chance on goal.  I have never seen less urgency in my life and neither Delfoneuso or N'Zogbia can trap a football.  30% possession and our first shot came in first half injury time from 30 yards.

Also Jelavic's goal shows why Clark is not the stunning centre half people hope he is.  Caught ball watching from the most basic piece of movement.

I remember looking at a team sheet from Sir Graham's 2nd reign a while ago and being shocked by how bad the team was.  I think we will look back with similar feelings on this team because I'm afraid most of these players are playing on the biggest stage they ever will.
