It's not Sherwood!

[ozzjim]

Fair point. Moyes or Rodgers would both be good appointments. Lets hope sooner than later

[not3bad]

So the players we signed this Summer were not Sherwood's choices. Got to admit part of me had that impression.  Makes it less surprising that he is still searching for his best formation.

I would rather have Amavi, Veretout and Traore than Dross Townsend, Errant Lennon and Madebayor (geddit???!??!) any day of the week.

A lot of people were making the case for the direction in which Villa have gone recruitment wise this summer.  What we need now is a manager who can work with this system. It appears Sherwood is not that manager.

Carlo wants another premier league job...

Come to us carlo, come to us...

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah Ancelotti would do!

[Duncan Shaw]

Well it would be highly unlikely, but Fox wouldn't be doing his job properly if he didn't at least ask the question...........

He's a chequebook manager if ever there was one. He's a good one, but what he'd be like without being bale to spunk millions and millions I do not know.

I almost want these next 2 games out of the way so we can get on with things ?!

Timmy was a brash and cocksure little boy, but his parents thought he lacked a certain sparkle of imagination, which they believed to be the key to awakening his latent intelligence. That Christmas, the boy presented to his parents a wish list of presents: water pistol, catapult, silly putty, whoopee cushion. But his parents, keen on igniting a fire in the young boy's mind, which would stand him in good stead for big school, decided instead upon a range of educational toys: a chemistry set, the game 'Mastermind', and some Meccano.

Come Christmas morning, Timmy opened his presents and dutifully thanked his parents. During the course of the day, he tried to play with his chemistry set, but found the instructions baffling. So he set about building something with the Meccano, but got bored after making a long stick of Meccano bits bolted together, which his parents told him to dismantle lest it take Granny's remaining eye out.

Timmy slid the game 'Mastermind' under the settee and went out into the garden to throw snowballs. Halfway through the Queen's speech, there was an almighty crash. One of Timmy's snowballs had come smashing through the dining room window. Timmy's parents reprimanded the boy and sent him to his room. Timmy cried and said "You didn't get me what I wanted. I've tried to play with my presents but they are horrible and I hate Christmas and I hate you."

And he didn't get any Christmas pudding.

This is great.

I lknow what you mean. I do want Sherwood to come good, but on the evidence its not happening.

If there is a shape to the team that the players understand, and they play to a plan in the next 2 games, and we get 4 points, then it shows that something has clicked.

Hutton is a prime example of what can be achieved when players are played in the correct position and given clear instructions on what to do. I was chatting with and ex scotland and arsenal international on sunday and we both agreed Hutton was the best player on the park against Poland. He was like a freight train going forwards and was solid at the back. Also left one on Lewandowski in typical Hutton fashion

I want the Villa to do well, I don't care who the manager is

[sirlordbaltimore]

two wins from the next two games or he can get the chop for me. doesn't matter who the opposition is, he's had easier games to get 3 points from and he's ballsed them up

no less than ten points from ten games or it's the chop IMHO

[Toronto Villa]

Yeah Ancelotti would do!

Ancelotti needs sides who are ok the cusp of winning things. He has the ability to massage egos and get them over the edge. It won't surprise me to see him replace Pellegrini and win the Champions League. But the only way he rolls into B6 is if you had a wet dream last night. That or you've gone mad and you need urgent medical attention.

Yes, the Leicester and Sunderland games are the worst examples. He says the team doesn't know how to defend.... then work on that in training then.

I thought it was a load of crap personally. A manager loses a few games and people try and post clever ways of saying they don't like him.
