Aston Villa vs Stoke City Match Thread

[Jimbo]

Time for Timbo to replace Dimbo.

[kippaxvilla2]

Burnley level ffs

[Bad English]

I always felt we weren't a very fit side under Lambert. Not compared to many other clubs in the top flight. Too many players running out of steam on 60-70minutes. Timmy clearly wants a high tempo, but I think the previous fitness regime is going to hinder that.

This has been said for years now. cf. That Wanker Terry. Also, I read that the players disliked the high standards required by Roy Keane. When are they going to get some players to train properly if this is the case?

[Toronto Villa]

Stoke just look more confident even if they aren't doing much themselves. They have the assurance of a team that is safe in mid table versus us and our lack of belief and jangling nerves.

[CT]

Wish we'd shipped Gabby off to Derby instead of the guy who's scored again today.

...and Burnley fucking equalise

[Summers]

I'm not even watching it and gabby is hopeless.

I'm hoping Sherwood, in the long run gets Gabby to shed a stone. The sooner he's svelter and more aerodynamic again, the better. He doesn't even look quick anymore, which basically makes him a redundant player now.

In all honesty, it won't matter.

The pace is gone. It started when he bulked up, but he just isn't that fast anymore. Age, injuries and him deciding to bulk up all added to it.

Scott Sinclair is proving today he does the job of Gabby but better and faster.

[Toronto Villa]

Corner again

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We really are poor.

[PaulWinch again]

Our set pieces are fucking atrocious.

[Risso]

Well, if he didn't know it before, Sherwood has a job on his hands.

[supertom]

Fucking hell Carlos. How has he stayed on?

[Toronto Villa]

My goodness this is poor. I'd take off Gabby, bring Bacuna on, push Sinclair to the right and Weimann to the middle

[Tuscans]

Final ball will be our problem all season, just don't have the players. Not Tims fault

[silhillvilla]

This was must win, I think we are down.

[Toronto Villa]

FUCK STOP GIVING AWAY THE BALL!!!!
