Aston Villa v Sunderland - Match Thread

[ozzjim]

Also, how many times has Sherwood been done by half time changes by the opposition!

You can't blame the manager for things like that....that's nit picking to the extreme.

Nit picking that on a number of occasions the oppisition change to counteract us at half time, but we don't react to it to negate it? I think it is tactically slow.

How did that not go in!!!!!!!!

[Smirker]

What the fuck happened there? Looked in.

[onje_villa]

Great touch Rudy

[PaulWinch again]

Struggling now.

Really open game, the whole league has gone bad defensively.

You can't foresee the future until play has passed for a while. I don't think any tactical switch would of made Westwoods smashed pass any more easier to control.

Amazing how some of the posters change from their first half opinions about players to those in the second.

When you've just survived relegation for the third season running you look at games we have to win and this is one, no wonder people get pissed off.

But you must see that they are much more in the game and we had started slowly, I said 30seconds before their changes have made them much more dangerous.

I do get the impression that Sherwood is one of these managers who believes the team should impose itself on the opposition, rather than react to what they're doing.

I think most teams who are losing get the hair dryer at half time and come out with a kick up the arse....it's standard. I'm just not a fan of every goal conceded is down to the manager not doing this or that. He's young, inexperienced....this is expected but I'm not blaming Tim for the goals conceded.

Just my opinion Ozz

Do Villa have players who can impose themselves on other teams? Probably not against most teams in the Premiership, otherwise we wouldn't be in the bottom half of the table

If you think that the manager is not responsible for the bad defending of the players that he selected in the starting XI you have a poor opinion of the coach's role....

Kozak, Gil and Veretout on please.
