Aston Villa vs Sunderland Post-Match Thread

[Rigadon]

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 !

GTF

That was uncalled for.

Acidic yet succinct.

Abusive, I'd call it.

[KevinGage]

If I was being abusive I'd call him a complete twat without an ounce of football knowledge, as illustrated by his username and just about every toadying post he's ever made here. But I didn't say that.

As it is, GTF was just intended as a friendly rebuke.

To be fair when I read GTF I only ever see it in a comedy scottish 'get tae fuck' way.

i originally typed 'Glaswegian' instead of Scottish but realised it would totally change what i said.

Half a season gone and just 11 goals scored. Have we ever been this shit in front of goal in all our history?

That stat isn't even the worst thing.

The worst thing is that the clueless chairman thinks he's doing a great job. That this is acceptable.

[saunders_heroes]

Only 2 positives I took out of today - one was the fact we didn't lose and the other was Jack Grealish. He was a breath of fresh air when he came on, and it's the first time he's ever really impressed me in a first team game.
The rest of the match was the usual Lambert/Lerner rubbish.

Totally agree re: Grealish. He seemed more mature in his play today.
Also...Sanchez was outstanding.

I bet you what you like Grealish starts the next game on the bench and N'Zogbia on the pitch, though.

The only ambition at Villa these days is for us to stay in the Premier League. Just imagine the grief Ellis would be getting now if he was still our chairman.

[KevinGage]

I can understand the logic in easing Grealish in.  But continuing to pick CNZ is mystifying.

And if you were to do similar again it'd be the last post you made on here for along time.

Some good players in the squad at present but set up all wrong eg why were Delph and Cleverley the opposite side of Sanchez to where they should have been, where exactly is Weimann supposed to be playing etc. And even worse is the continual poor delivery from crosses including Grealish where we can't beat the first defender. Add in the still shit free kicks throw ins and corners and it points to some terrible coaching down Bodymoor.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

You're probably right paulie, but imho I just can't see how ANY manager could pick Zog over Grealish any day of the week.
As I said earlier on this thread, Grealish has got to start v Palace.


Hasn't he?

All along the watchtower.   We're all friends here.

Take it in the spirit it was intended.   Or don't.
