Aston Villa v Sheffield United Post-Match Thread

[SashasGrandad]

How many morons (me included) were there today, I didn't actually hear the attendance?

Just over 24000 - 5000 from Sheffield.

Still a lot more than down the road in Sandwell. Which considering the shambles we had to put up with makes it even more upsetting. We deserve so much more.

Well that was a new low. Dumped out of a cup by lower league opposition AGAIN. We just lost to a team that Walsall beat last week. No excuses now - that's Lambert's squad, bought (or kept) by Lambert, and trained by Lambert and his staff.  I wonder which part of his 'project' plan has a milestone of making Aston Villa an embarrassing laughing stock playing shit football week in week out. Oh, and apparently his answer to getting 'experience' in is Hoolahan, who can't even get in the Norwich team. That's Norwich, in a relegation scrap, and he can't get in their team. Well he'll be right at home with us then as none of our players would get in anyone else's team either. I've supported Lambert so far, but as far as I'm concerned he can take his project and fuck right off.

the stick I took last season drove me close to quitting my job.

I had to go into work on a building site at Dickens Heath in Solihull, populated almost exclusively by Blues fans, after the 0-3 and 0-2 in 02/03. I can face anything now.

How much longer do we have to suffer Weimann in the team? I can't recall a player showing less effort than him for many a year.

It's not just his effort. He has become useless at everything else as well. He is a liability at the moment.

The fans have turned up in numbers this season considering the shite we've been served up.

Oh and one more thing......

Who's dumb idea was it to go sober for Jan (oh that'll be me), god I could murder a beer.

THere's little comfort to be had from sparkling water on a day like this

What a fucking week to go dry....

I've always said Weimann was over rated but I'm still amazed how bad he is now. He had a good run of form last season that lasted 2-3 months and that's about it. He works hard but has little natural talent. He's a headless chicken who regularly fails to see what's going on around him, missing the chance to pass to players in a better position.

The fact he can't get into a poor Austria team says it all.

Have to agree with that unfortunately.  I've felt for a few weeks that Lambert's goose is cooked.

As sir graham said when he took over in 1987. The whole  club  is  a  shambles!  Its  a lot  worse  now graham!!!

[Morten]

Quite a few posters have described today as a new low and who would argue with that. However I can't help feeling that there will be more 'new lows' before this season is over. Consider impending matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton etc. more humiliation to come I fear.

Thing is we were saying the same last season and that didn't happen, and they know they have to invest. This isn't really a new low when you think of the teams that have knocked us out in the last few years.  It's just another shit day in the cup.

I can only think of two worse in our history than today.

Fulham - at home the game Collymore walked out. At least Fulham were top of the third division that day
Bradford - say no more...

Doncaster. Which remains the worst for me, even worse than Bradford.

My most disappointing games were the home games against Rapid Wien, I really love the European Games, and to spend two seasons to qualify for Europe and then loose to Rapid Wien were my lowest points. But there have been many, and todays result is amongst the worst, we even deserved to loose to a team placed 18 in League One, with one away win in 12 games. So Depressing

Mods  Put a stop to that please

Mods keep out of here on days like this.

One other thing that drove me mad today. What don't our full backs overlap? We never stretch teams down the flanks.

 Albrighton did pretty well in the first half but they double marked him in the second and we did nothing tactically to counteract it.

Bacuna and Luna barely went past the halfway line all game - at home - against a 3rd division side.

My boss takes early retirement come March. Can't wait.

I've resolved not to tell anybody who I support if I have to move jobs, because it's too much of a pain in the arse these days.

Shhh... Don't bring up the actual football. You'll make it worse.

He has never been good enough, a handful of goals here & there but has never shown any real quality. But in all honesty do we currently have anyone better?
