Herd off Westwood on please!!!!!

[devilla]

Fucking Ireland is second to EVERY single ball.  Every one.  Get him OFF.

Absolutely, he is truly dreadful today.

[Jimbo]

Come on Villa!

[adamski villa]

plenty of time, we WILL still win this, believe in Villa, keep the faith VTID

[Olof's Beard]

Up to 33% possession.  Growing in to the game, we are.

I would play him in the stiffs until his contract runs out.  Dispicable player.

Playing 3 in midfield is one thing.  Playing Ireland-Bannan-Holman as that 3 is insanity.

[adamski villa]

a bit more urgency now, just a slow start thats all

[Axl Rose]

Come on the Villa!!! Can't get a stream, but do I really want one?

[Jimbo]

Showed a bit of fight there.

[hilts_coolerking]

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear a little booing at half time, if things don't improve.

Ireland for Westwood, Herd for Albrighton and try and get the ball forward a bit!

[Rigadon]

The are in there to keep the ball.  They aren't keeping the ball, therefore are redundant. 

[Toronto Villa]

Playing 3 in midfield is one thing.  Playing Ireland-Bannan-Holman as that 3 is insanity.

thing is it's meant to be a flexible 5 with the two wide defenders pushing up and helping the attack. Kind of what Spurs do but we have significantly worse players that can't do it at all.

There should be a lot. For all the reasons why the team are struggling, too many are playing like tools.
