Aston Villa vs Stoke City Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

I think jack , gil and ayew have looked half decent at times but all on bench.

[Chris Jameson]

What the fuck is that team?

I thought we were playing Stoke, not Barcelona.

In Timmy's mind we are. Stoke have three ex Barcelona players which makes them a major threat. Stoke.

[JUAN PABLO]

It will work its bamboozled hughes

[Tuscans]

I would understand if Pulis was still charge but the last time I looked they play it on the deck a bit these days....hmmmmmm!

[Ian.]

I'm glad I live in Devon and not tempted to fork out hard earned cash to watches play. What's happend to Tim and his all out attack? He hasn't got the foggiest how to fit any of his new players into a system. I know it's early but it's such a random approach week in week out now.

[Jimbo]

Every week it's as if he's written the players names on bits of paper and drawn eleven at random.

I genuinely think he's not got a clue.

Maybe Tim's a fan of the William Burroughs cut-up technique?

He kept tabs on all of them when he was at spuds. 

[JUAN PABLO]

Its more of a negative line up than lamberts.

Why not put bunn up front

[Vegas]

I'm at VP having made the long trip down with my kids who couldn't decide if they were more excited about seeing Grealish, Ayew or Gil. Oh.

I've defended Sherwood on here and I'm still prepared to give benefit of the doubt, but there's no doubt that's a disappointing line up on paper. Hope it's better on grass.

[VancouverLion]

Bizarre line up, can only think Crespo is in to mark Crouch?.. I fear for Tim if this goes Pete Tong!

[pauliewalnuts]

It's like watching a series of Hammer House of Horror films every week.

You dont know what form it will take from one week to the next and the result is at best frightening or at worst horrific.

[JUAN PABLO]

I know we debate if we can afford to play both jack and gil but id expect at least one of them in the team.

hopes you haven't come from vegas to see this

I thought Tim was a breath of fresh air when he first came in but by golly it hasn't taken long to sink back to the depths of despair when we had Lambert in charge.

Well done Dim!

[Ian.]

Well Live Score has us as a 433 with Crespo up front.
