Aston Villa v Birmingham City - Match Thread

[russon]

That was completely unacceptable. Gabby spoiling for a red, Clarke abysmal and Bacuna brain dead. Gestede? He makes Micky Quinn look mobile. Lescott is yet to leave the dressing room and Westwood auditioning to be our new hollywood Bannan. Miserable and utterly unacceptable.

[Morten]

Gestede has really poor ball control, I mean really poor. Gabby poor again, we look so toothless, its like tbe football under the last two managers.

Westwood poor again. He wins nothing and creates nothing.

Veretout looks ok

I am sure Tactical Tims substitutions will win us the game ;-)

[Quiet Lion]

Clark in midfield is proving to be another tactical masterstroke

[Deano's Mullet]

Hoof ball. Only time we play it on the deck is backwards. Awful awful stuff.

[Risso]

Dire

[andyh]

Utterly, utterly atrocious.
I hate to say it but the Rags look like a football team, we look like a bunch of hoofers.
And not very good ones.

[four fornicholl]

FUCKING GARBAGE

IN CAPITALS

[Steve R]

Artless shite. We really have got nothing to offer. Credit to Small Heath who have left the niggle behind and have come to play football. They have a limited bunch of players but look the better team by a distance.

I have been trying to work out for a couple of weeks who Gestede reminds me of. Greg Fellows.

I am amazed at how quickly we have descended into a rabble. That first 45 at Leicester seems a long way away.

[LTA]

Utter pants.  No desire or spark, and the players look like they have no idea what their jobs are.  Noses singing that's why were going down.  On this evidence, they may be right.

[pav]

Thst effort on gestede to bring ball down and failing by literally kneeling it out of play sums him up I think.

[Monty]

As FS Trueman would say: what's going on out there?

They've shown us up with their behaviour (no thuggery) and by keeping the ball on the deck while we've hoofed it.

Absolutely. We look like the underdog from a division below playing away from home.

[Legion]

Diabolical, so far. I really hope this was our 'bad' half. If not, we're buggered.

It didnt work under Houlier, it doesnt work now

[ciggiesnbeer]

Never heard Tony Morley that angry before. Shouting "Get it in the damn box!" and while Jack was doing the half time wrap you could clearly hear Morley in the background saying "bloody terrible" as he took his mic off.

Spot on Alex.

Get Gabby and Clark off, and Sanchez and Grealish on.
