Aston Villa vs. West Brom Post-Debacle Thread

[curiousorange]

I'm putting my colours on the mast. Ta-da, Tim.

The albion goal was a bit lucky but the worst thing for me was our total non-response to it. Nothing changed. Sherwood's tactical changes had no effect on the game whatsoever.

[Ian.]

From the BBC: "It's actually quite impressive that Villa haven't been relegated despite being consistently awful in the last four or five years."

It's only because of the rest of the shite who play in the best league in the world.

That's quite depressing though isn't it?

Since the 1st time I saw them it was dramatically clear that spending 16 milions for the duo Gestede & Ayew as Benteke subs was crazy. Frenchmen say: c'est de la folie. The only things that Benteke and Gestede have in common are three "e". We are a joke, we throw in the WC the few money that we have, and and our manager is unexperienced, clueless and taptically inept.

In hindsight I was delayed in traffic on my way home from a football match this morning, which resulted in me missing the match. I count myself lucky.

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

Be remotely any good?

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

Looked better than anyone else in preseason, no?

Meh.

I'm not trying to start an argument by the way.  But, he is one of those payers that get better every week they don't play.

Sherwood has already dropped a few of his buys (Ayew, Veretout) and never starts Gestede.  I don't think he;d hesitate to play Kozak if he thought he'd dig him out of this widening hole. 

Getting to the point where I can't be arsed watching the slow descent every season.  It's just demoralising.

The galling thing is, everyone - literally EVERYONE - knows exactly what to expect from a Tiny Penis team. Four big, slow fuckers at the back, well-drilled lines, forcing you to cross from deep so they can just head it away a million times and you eventually make a mistake out of sheer mind-numbing boredom.

So you have to play in between the lines, get runners from midfield darting into gaps, play little give and gos to take advantage of their lumbering back four, and cross from the bye-line. Yet we tried none of that, we just passed it about pointless in front of them, then floated balls for them to head into outer fucking space.

I think Tim is arrogant. And that arrogance translates to an approach that says "We're not going to worry about what the opposition do, we're going to play our own game and show them we're better than them". Which sounds good, if you're in a Richard Curtis movie about a downtrodden pub team managed by Rowan Atkinson with Keira Knightley as the star striker, who end up winning the FA Cup with a last minute goal from the work experience lad with a stammer and a wooden leg.

In real life, it's shit.

[Phatboy]

I'm bastard fuming and getting ulcers watching this crock of shit every week. Westwood if you pick the ball up to take a free kick I'll chew your fc king balls off. Oh and while you're at it when we sprint forward on a rare attack pass the ball behind the runner so he has stop and get the ball you twat.

6 wins in 17 in the league under TS ...

It's 6 wins in 19 league games.

[LTA]

God those stats are horrific

[kippaxvilla2]

This is our worst start since 86-87 just saying like.

[Deano's Mullet]

Worst team in the premier league not too have been relegated in the last four years.

[Toronto Villa]

I'm getting the look from Mrs TV. We're apparently on a weekend break in Montreal and I have been accused of being miserable which I am. Need to take a break from this place before she throws my phone and iPad through the window. Enjoy chewing the shit tasting fat chaps.

[Jon Crofts]

I'm going into hiding Tuesday about 7:30. Might reappear after Christmas when maybe Lerner has sold up and Tim or someone else has figured it out.

[Percy McCarthy]

I feel like crying. The only time they don't ruin my Saturdays is when they play on Sundays and Mondays.
