Aston Villa vs Sunderland Post-Match Thread

[Dave]

Not great, but there are signs of a team coming together.

[PaulWinch again]

Not good enough, we won't play a poorer side than that. Gil looked good when he came on, but Clark's error for the second was dreadful. We desperately need another forward, because Gestede looks a bit short of quality.

[Matt Collins]

I thought we were ok. Better than I expected given the personnel

We've got to get a centre fed tho

Gestede was appallingly bad

[Deano's Mullet]

At least the games are exciting this year. So frustrating not to win though. Kozak needs to feature more and defensively we look poor. Better going forward, arguably worse at the back?

[mattjpa]

Anyone who thinks we won't be in a relegation scrap this year needs to think again.

[Edvard Remberg]

Luck is not on our side. But signs of a team. New signings look good. Gestede maybe not so much yet.

[dutchvilla]

gestede is too static

gil should have started

every game teams exploit the space between the centre halfs and the full backs

[Chris Jameson]

Note to self.

Avoid match thread until after Xmas, ridiculous some of the nonsense posted today.

[villadelph]

Really disappointed

I'd be pretty pissed off if I was kozak.

[SamTheMouse]

Frustrating result, because we deserved to win. But the very fact that we deserved to win is encouraging in itself.

When the players have got to know each other better and everyone's settled, we're going to be a pretty decent side.

[LTA]

No excuses.  Not beating Sunderland at home is totally unacceptable.  It says a lot that even with the amount of work done in the Summer that we are still well short.

[ez]

Sunderland are shocking. They won't pick up many points playing like that.

[Toronto Villa]

We won't dominate a game more this season and not win. In fact we'll win games with far less possession and chances. Throw in Traore and Grealish and you have to think we'd have won that. Very frustrating but it is a side that is maturing. Tough though this is but we need to be patient. And after so many years of gash there isn't much patience left in the tank.

[ChicagoLion]

very dissapointing, Clark not good enough, Westward wastefull, unable to beat a very poor Sunderland team at home

[onje_villa]

We have looked reasonable in our last 2 games but then again they have been at home to Notts County and Sunderland. Much better movement in the final third today but we should be winning games like this. Odd that Tim didn't use his subs again today.
