Aston Villa vs. West Brom Post-Debacle Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

If this doesn't get better before Christmas, sack him.

I just can't face a repeat of the two year cycle of bullshit we have to watch till he gets the heave-ho.

If I woke up tomorrow and he'd been sacked, I wouldn't be even remotely bothered.

The man is an absolute chancer, he doesn't know what he's doing, as he shows week after week. Talks a great game, full of bantz with the press and what not, but serves up utter shit every fucking week.

Absolute dross from start to finish.

With Westwood in the middle we're effectively playing every game with 10 men, he's just not good enough for this level, simple as.

Mid September and already completely pissed off, had enough of this shit.

Thanks for keeping us up last season Tim, but your out of your depth I'm afraid.

I think he'd make a better assistant manager. Or maybe a scout.

Fuck it, put him behind the till in the club shop.

What's Brian Little up to these days?

He was commentating on Setanta this afternoon.

[Legion]

I'm going off our new manager a little. What has gone wrong!?

[oldham_villa]

What does Kozak have to do to get into this toothless team?

[villadelph]

If we fall to SHAt, I might take a few weeks off. Save my sanity.

[maigrait]

i put villa down in the last one standing competition - so did 3 others. Well thats us all out. Its all my fault for choosing Villa. I take full responsibility.

[Risso]

Cheers for keeping us up and the FA Cup semi final Tim, but you haven't got a Scooby Doo have you really Tim?  I'm afraid that just being better than Lambert isn't enough any more.

So many things are wrong and went wrong. What was the tacticts in the end? There was no urgency, we NEVER look like scoring.

- Westwood was terrible today. He is so lightweight, never wins the ball and the set pieces are terrible. Why not try a "normal" corner once in a while?
- Amavi takes far too many risks
- Why not put Richards or Lescott up front in the end and play it more forward ?
- None of our forwards look convincing, in fact they look very poor
- etc etc , I cant be bothered typing any more

What does Kozak have to do to get into this toothless team?

Quite , no way is Gestede a better option that Kozak

NO WAY. It's insanity.

Be remotely any good?

That he isn't even on the bench tells you he is shit / not recoverd from a horrible injury.

fuck that was bad, pitiful effort to get an equaliser too. They were weak defensively out wide yet we kept trying to play scrums in the middle

In some areas of the team we are getting worse, Guzan is definitely going to throw one in very very soon, centre back partnership is a bombscare, Lescott's legs are totally gone and is a pointless signing, Amavi defensively again cost us points today, no structure to our midfield and a non existent goal threat. About the only positives were Hutton was solid defensively and Sanchez put in a good shift too. West Brom as damn average as they are, deserved the victory. Played smarter football and had a genuine threat up top.

Our forwards are not mobile or clever enough to be running onto nice passes from Gil or Grealish, Blackburn did well by getting the ball wide and pinging quick crosses to Gestede. We dont have those kind of players available though.

Guzan 4, Hutton 7, Richards 5, Lescott 4, Amavi 4, Westwood 5, Sanchez 7, Gil 6, Grealish 5, Gabby 5, Sinclair 4 - Gestede 5, Bacuna 7, Veretout 5

I really think if you put a pint in front of me, and i started drinking it when Westwood starts his run up for a corner, I could down the lot before the ball makes contact with anyone, he floats them in so fucking pointlessly.
