Aston Villa v Sunderland - Match Thread

[Whiney MacWhineface]

That's not a dive.

Dive

[Tuscans]

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 saw Ayew midweek then he's lucky to actually be on the bench.

Clark has surely improved last season but he has been very poor in this season so far.

[aev]

Come on...how about a Gil screamer?

[PaulWinch again]

Westwood you have to score.

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.

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.

How has he been solid?

Unlucky Ashley, I take it all back

[Smirker]

Fucking score Villa.

[Toronto Villa]

This will be so disappointing not to capitalize on this game.

And in other games West Ham winning, Palace who have had a great start to the season winning at Chelsea.

[PaulWinch again]

Get Kozak on.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Rudy getting into it now

[SamTheMouse]

We're playing some good football at times, it has to be said.

[Deano's Mullet]

Kozak please tim

[LTA]

We are in deep trouble this season.  This is a game you have to win if you want to be clear of trouble.

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell Sunderland are woeful we desperately need to win.
