Aston Villa vs. West Brom Post-Debacle Thread

[Risso]

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.

Did you see Veretout when he came on?  Absolutely awful, even if it was only a cameo for a few minutes.  Slow beyond belief.

i don't think they know how they're meant to be playing

they'd be better off with a 433 and get more control of midfield. there is so little movement up front that it was easy for west brom to defend

100% right and fuck me how shit were westwood and sanchez

at one point in the second half the only thing westwood was lacking was a handbag

we are going down

[glinch]

We were well and truly Pulised today.  I think long-term and for the sake of balance in the team, we need Micah to take up the right back berth.  It's all about making ourselves hard to beat and getting points on the board over the next few weeks.

Something went *spang* in my head at about 80 minutes when I realised I am trapped in some hideous karmic loop where season-upon-season I will have to watch this terrible football - I now embrace this and do not feel anger or regret - we are all part of the oneness and it's all going to be fine because the Buddha teaches that "this too will change" - unfortunately he doesn't say when

[PeterWithesShin]

The ultimate small time mentality.

Buddha's a chancer.

The first job of any defender is to defend.

Amavi completely shit out of the challenge in the build up to their goal.

It's alright him getting up and down the wing - but his defending is very poor at times.

Baggies deserved it

I see it as a kid trying everything he can to get us going.

I will not place any blame on him, he is better than anything we have. Blame the shot senior players, they are a joke.

Lambert was the man for breaking records, has any other manager in english football lost 3 derby's on the bounce?....

Leicester is hardly a derby. And you could ask how many have won 2 in less than a week.

[cheadlevilla]

Please can we have BFR back ......

The last thing we need now is to be on the team and the managers backs.
