Aston Villa vs. West Brom Post-Debacle Thread

[LTA]

Sherwood is getting plenty of flack here and much is deserved.  And today showed why Pulis's style may be dull, but is far more likely to keep them up.  Our previous two managers were both renowned "booters".  Indeed McLeish had a reputation for being able to organise a defence, though I saw precious little evidence while he was here.  Neither were able to do any better than Sherwood has playing better football.

If Rudy Gestede is an answer I struggling to understand what question Tim Sherwood is asking himself. Gestede does have some strengths but we aren't playing to them. He is good I the air but coming on to a crossed ball not winning flick ons from something lumped from the back in his general direction - he isn't mobile enough for that.

For all the criticism that TS is getting for his tactics, part of the problem today is simply that our forward options are completely and utterly shite. The backwards and sideways passing were as a direct result of no movement or runs from the forwards...what are the midfield supposed to do if the forwards just stand their marking their markers?!

Then he should have  signed a forward that fucking moves.

[Stirchley Villain]

We should keep Gestede fit for when we're in the Championship next season.

Should of signed Austin instead of £10m on the woeful Ayew and £6m on an immobile Gestede . His naivety is being exposed and it's very scary.

Lambert had a reputation better than pretty much anything that we thought was a possibility at the time of his hiring. He and Rodgers were the two next up-and-coming managers based on what they had done and his Norwich team had a reputation as a dynamic, organised, attractive side.

The discussion on it from Spring 2012

It didn't translate, but what we thought we were getting was a million miles away from what we thought we were getting with McLeish.

I was saying this very thing in the car on the way home today.

The Pulis style wasn't dull today. WBA played far better football than Villa.

As for Lambert, I don't remember him being renowned as a "booter" type manager when he came to the Villa

How come we took Gil off and put bacuna  on or am i being thick

The Pulis style wasn't dull today.

The "taking 3 minutes over every throw-in and five minutes over every goal-kick" was more dull and irritating than most things that can happen during a football match.

So blindingly obvious all summer what was needed.

Everyone does that when they're winning. Even us...
