Aston Villa v Sunderland - Match Thread

[citizenDJ]

Gestede has offered very little today, or we haven;t played to his strengths, but what is the point of having a strong bench of we're not going to use it? Surely now is the time for trying Ayew?

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....

Huh!

Players being humans, you know, like humans make mistakes, you pass the buck and blame someone else for an individual mistakes!?

Yes he's picked the back four, I think 99% of us would of picked the same....are we at fault for a misplaced pass and player turning Clark inside out? No...we're not.

I also would have picked him in the starting XI as I rate him, but he is being very poor this season so far.
One thing is an individual, occasional, mistake, another is a defender that doesn't know the defensive movements and position.
A coach is supposed to teach these things, but seeing the goals that we use to concede even to crap opponents, I begin to think that he is not doing this.

Get Kozak on for Gestede.

He would be even poorer I am afraid.
And he costed 9 mln of £!

Gueye running on empty last five mins, need a change there

Id push Sinclair up top, dont think he wants to play on the left

[citizenDJ]

Hmm. Seeing enough of Gil here (his movement, passing) to think he is unlucky not to be starting.

[PaulWinch again]

We should be winning this game it's vital we get another goal.

[PaulWinch again]

Make a change, either Veretout or Kozak.

I agree looks like he has more time than other players.

[SamTheMouse]

I think this is comfortably the worst defence we will face this season. We could really have done with Jack today.

I think Clark has improved a lot the last season, but any player fucks up from time to time....it's no biggie and you certainly can't lay the blame at Sherwood for that.

That's ridiculous in my opinion considering Clark has been pretty solid so far.

[PaulWinch again]

That's not a dive.

[Archie]

Yes, when  we could play with Gil and Jack behind Sinclair I think we could pick some satisfaction....

[Deano's Mullet]

Gil booked for diving but he could have scored

Use the subs!
