Aston Villa v Stoke City post match thread

Whilst Gueye has been decent this season - was I the only one who thought he was awful today?  Looked disinterested at times.

He's just the latest version of KEA. Headless chicken

On the plus side Sturk played us off the park last year, this year second half we were all over them. I know I know clutching at straws but at least that's some kind of progress isn't it?

I'd be disinterested too if every time I got the ball there was fuck all to pass to in front of me except for Sinclair jogging in circles.

Do you know what? I'd actually take the relegation now.  Not because I particularly want it, but simply after what is now years of this relentless shit we might actually achieve some level of respectable mediocrity, you know, like a few home wins on the bounce, the odd surprise away result.

There I've said it.  The only way we're going to reach mid-table any time soon is in the Championship.  And the cat that I say it at a time when Leicester and Crystal Palace are at the top of the league we're currently in is fucking depressing.     

Is there any guarantees that we'd be mid-table in the Championship?

Depends when Randy sells. He doesn't deserve a profit.

stop referring to the manager as a cockney.

It makes you look like ignorant football fans.

Time was, you hated playing Stoke because you knew how they were going to play. Now you hate watching Villa for the same reason.

 When you start messing around with selection and tactics you give players an excuse.
The players know it is a shambles, there is no belief.

How does' inept chancer'sound?

For a manager who claims to always be positive in the way he sets his teams up, the amount of end product is embarrassing.

Sherwood is totally out of his depth and his constant changing of his formations, shows he has no plan and no clue.

[silhillvilla]

I don't think we played well whatsoever . The whole shape , balance, everything is wrong.

Yes, we were all over them with our sideways passing !!

We haven't even got the best manager in the second city.

[Sheldon_Villa]

Don't want fat Sam anywhere near vp.

[silhillvilla]

Was sherwood really just sat on his arse the last 15 mins with Hughes up on the touch line.

Chancer just wants his pay off I reckon.

In the first half in particular, they looked like they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing.
