Aston Villa vs Sunderland Post-Match Thread

[midnite]

Weimann certainly wasn't crap. He lacks composure that's for sure. He's infuriating a lot of the time. But he ran and ran and ran today. He played his part in making sure we didn't lose the game today. He also played his part in making sure we didn't win too. But crap he certainly wasn't.

It wasn't until the sending off (the last time we see Delph in a villa shirt?) and the introduction of grealish we actually looked like getting something from the game.

Rubbish game from two rubbish teams.

Hold on let's see the positives from this ( and please add on ) .
Clean sheet .
Spirited performance with ten outfield players.
Endeavour
Continued improvement in football style.
Possession based game carried out well.
Recycling of ball and passes made were good.
A number of players were solid and continued effort after tough away match on boxing day.
The substitutes were effective.
A point earned .

It's always good to look at what worked and the plkus sides of things.
No one can doubt the absolute effort 10 players put in.
Its a  match that Aston Villa may have lost in season past and in fact ( like man utd match) villa looked more likely to score a winner in the last minutes.
That really says something about this set of players and the character.
Players just need to add goals. :-)
Any other positives please add  its great to encourage positive comment !
Keep the faith !

 

You are VillaKicks I assume.I

[silhillvilla]

Endeavour ? Are you taking the p**s ?

The only positive I can add is Jack Grealish. That lad is going to be a massive star in the game.

That's a pretty big "just", though.

Like saying "they're a good band, they just need to add tunes."

Our match belongs so firmly at the back of the running order for MOTD, it's like we're aiming to be third up in the Football League Show.

N'Zogbia did plenty but unfortunately none of it was effective.   Weimann works hard under the burden of being played as a makeshift defender.   Benteke had the pox about something all the game and bottled out of what should have been the winning goal right at the death.   Cleverley seems to have caught the Ireland can't be arsed bug.   Delph went back to his old red mist ways.   Ron Vlaar threw away a very promising attack by bladdering the ball into the Holte from thirty yards, Grealish came on and put on the mantle of Ashley Young in his prime and Sanchez was MOTM by several miles.   Weather was cold.   The traffic was horrendous.

Three 0-0's today so you never know ? QPR may be last ?

Guzan's saves. Clark and Okore when he came on. Sanchez.

Its not all bad.

We're last.

Weimann did put a good shift in when we were down to 10 tbf. We did improve after being down to 10 and CNZ being replaced. I do think there is a player there in Cleverley but doubt Lambert is the man to find it. I also thought Sissoko improved dramatically with Jack in front of him.

Lastly, Sunderland were the poorest side I have seen this season.

[KevinGage]

Another point towards the magical 40 point barrier!

Avoiding relegation is the new qualifying for Europe.

In Lambert We Trust.

SWALK.

I'd agree, other than us.
And Leicester are quite bad .

That was uncalled for.
