QPR vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[ChicagoLion]

Every time we get in the final 3rd we just give it away, the movement off the ball is non existent and with the liability that is Clark at the back we are bound to concede. Vlaar thinks he is playing for them because he keeps passing to them.

[Louzie0]

Two world class deliveries in 10 seconds there from Cleverley.

TC23(TM) with two terrible crosses in quick succession. Have to do better than that.

I'm really confused

If it makes it clearer, I mostly sound like Ray from the Mary Whitehouse Experience.

Smooth!

[TaxDodger]

I think we should prepare the guest room for Mr Cock Up.

[Legion]

We really are abject.  Qpr more than deserve lead

No they don't. They've had one purposeful shot whereas we've been the better side. Hopefully the second half will produce a more clinical performance.

Like watching a relegation battle between 2 of the participants.


Oh so It is

[ozzjim]

Dear oh fucking dear.

Not as bad as it has been in other matches, but still, we're ultimately fucking losing against QPR.

It's just not good enough.

Any other team playing this match as we had now, you'd think they'd be up for it and get at least a draw out of this, but for all our improved areas of play - at least for 20 minutes anyway - we just look like we have absolutely zero guile or nous.

A striker out since March and supported by a pair that have probably less than 10 league goals in a full season of games together. We look toothless and like we have no guile, because we are toothless and have no guile. We are as creative as John Major following a set of Ikea instructions.

[supertom]

Well. We've been better. We've pressed them high and been on the front foot. The goal was largely against the run of play. However we've got problems with our final delivery. There's no guile in midfield. Sanchez has been very good. Westwood and Cleverley have both been startlingly average though. Neither offers much creativity and both appear to be doing the same "keep it tidy" job. It's imbalanced.

Up front Benteke is very rusty. Gabby's been poor. Weimann has been decent and lively and looks well up for it, but it looks as if he may have to come off (ANOTHER injury).

Zamora has tormented our backline so far. He's 33, he's got no legs in him, but he's giving a master class in CF play. I'd like to see us put a little faith in Bent and bring him on second half, see if he can give Dunne and Caulker a little bit of movement in the box to think about. Dunne has got the Beast in his pocket thus far.

I'd also bring on Cole for Weimann and switch to a diamond in midfield with Cole at the tip, Gabby and Bent up top.

We need to freshen things up. It's not working offensively.

[Fin Feds Dad]

Vlaar didn't attempt to get off the floor for the goal - and what do you know , Clark was ball watching instead of tracking his man.

Where is Gabby playing ? All fart and no shit as usual .

Crossing has been piss poor too.

[CJ]

In over 40 years of supporting Villa I can never being this - well - bored. I don't even get angry at our ineptitude any more

[ChicagoLion]

Why did Mr Cock up run away from the ball and the player he was marking?

[TaxDodger]

QPR are so utterly awful and yet we could play this game all night and we wouldn't score past them. I really do think Marc Albrighton would make a difference tonight.

[LTA]

Qpr more than deserve lead

Why?

They look far more dangerous going forward than we do.  We are so predictable, half arsed and toothless its frightening

[PaulWinch again]

Dear oh fucking dear.

That's essentially the point. I'd bring Cole on to see what he can do, because he'll never have a better opportunity than against these.

[wolfman999]

Sitting still or arms folded standing up,  Lambert just doesn't seem interested.
Another unwanted record beckons. How many more can this poor excuse for a manager collect?

Plenty. He's got four years to collect them in.

I've lost interest in watching

I'm suprised you normally enjoy watching Villa lose
