We really are in deep shit.
Unfortunately, we don't have (a) Benteke to dig us out of it this time.

I have no idea what the answer is to this continual turgid shite that is dealt up week after week, season after season. I just wish that someone would make it go away.

Sadly no, he could be the Obi-Wan (our only hope)

Allardyce would get this group of players into mid table. We could do worse.

I think Sherwood deserves until Xmas to see if he can do the same.

Awful, just awful. Sorry, but Tim appears not to have a clue and the players don't care.

Why, when two stripey fuckers had been booked, did we not get Jack to run at them in the second half forcing fouls?

Gestede won ONE header in the whole of the second half, he's 6ft four.

Gabby, an absolute shocker of a player this season.

1-0 down and bring on another right back, not to replace another right back but for a midfielder.

Villa fans threatening each other at Aston station afterwards.

What the fuck is happening to our club?

We don't have a style and haven't really since MON. Houllier was close to establishing a style but got ill unfortunately.

Nowadays our style is run around and pass the ball around aimlessly. The old lady I used to sit by called it 'headless chicken football.' I think she hit the nail on the head with that.

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.

same for me, never made it, and not bothered apart from the £52 wasted

I think Gana and Traore would have made a big difference today. We have some tough luck with injuries.

Think he should have played Veretout in a midfield 3 with Grealish and Gil more advanced. We never got on top in midfield due to their superior numbers. His solution at half time was not to solve the midfield problem but go direct and that just played into their hands.

Playing Gil, Grealish and Sinclair is like playing with 8 men when we don't have the ball. He needs to rethink the shape of the side - we look disorganised.

Confidence clearly taken a hit as well after last week.

It doesn't help that he blames the "players performance" every week, but "not the effort".

Blaming the youth isn't going to establish anything.

The man just yaps and yaps, get it together. Doing the post-match Sky presser with a smile, dick.

Desperately need Gana and Traore back. Simply haven't got the quality in depth.  Why the fuck isn't Kozak at least on the bench?. He's far more mobile than Gestede who looks poor to me.

I think we should worry about ourselves rather than others club's shit.
