Aston Villa v Stoke City post match thread

[KRS]

Completely clueless lineup and formation from TS. As confirmed in his post match interviews, he is genuinely making it up as he goes along. TS is completely out of his depth and is drowning in his own bullshit.

Positives:
We were still in the game after a non-event of a first half where both teams were as bad as each other and neither team looked like scoring.
We were pretty much all over them in the second half but without any movement we never looked like scoring (not the first time I've said that this season).
We are capable of playing good passing football with Grealish and Gil on the pitch.
Things can't get much worse in terms of results and league position.

Has as been said by many for weeks now, the guy is a chancer, he's throwing formations and players together in the hope that one clicks, its fucking ludicrous and the fact he admitted as much in his post match interview should be enough too warrant a p45, it won't though of course, he'll be allowed to carry on for months aimlessly throwing shit together, he'll pick up the odd result here and there, maybe enough to scrape 17th and then we'll be right back here again next year. Woop-de-fucking-doo!

 Not in the least bit surprised by the result - it doesn't even hurt that much so the losing mentality has spread to me too. We are down this year unless we get a competent manager - TS was a breath of fresh air at the end of last season but the warning signs were there. Big big trouble, three defeats out of four at home already I do believe and already a gap appearing between the bottom teams and mid table.

We pinged the ball around with no end product. As soon as stoke got the ball they got forward very quick. We had no answer besides last ditch tackles.
No creativity no excitement. Terrible.

We are as dead as disco unless timbo goes. Cant see us picking up any points anytime soon....

As I say every week now, what is there left to say that hasn't been said a 1000 times already?

Yep it's something we've been seeing on a regular basis since about 2004 tbh. Bar the mad MON 3 year spending spell we have been producing mediocre results and performances at premier league level for a very long time now although it's getting worse and eventually that will be it and I think as it stands our goose will finally be cooked this season.

[Ron Manager]

How are they not fucking fit enough in October?! Nonsense

Its just words Paul. It is obvious to one and all that he does not have a clue what he is doing. Problem is he will still be there in December making excuses.

Its bloody depressing. I thought Richards generally played well and Carles Gil when he got on the pitch.

When your 'game plan' consists of using Alan Hutton as your creativity then its probably time to seek a career in other fields to be honest.

Hutton's been our main creative outlet for ages now.

My theory is that the opposition managers all know this, and instruct their players to let him have the ball, because he only actually does anything threatening once every five games.

[manic-road]

Just got back and to be honest I expected to lose the game. TS is clueless, he's talked his way into a job at one of the top British clubs and our clueless board fell for it.
I haven't missed a home league or cup game this season not that there has been many, but I will not be going for a while whilst that clown is managing the team.

Well lescott don't seem too upset he's on this piss in London with Stephen Ireland as we speak

Oh yes they can. Results can get much much worse yet and we will soon be bottom. Or are we already, I can't even be arsed to look?

[London Villan]

Wonder if he is as slow getting to the bar...

[silhillvilla]

Richards is out on it too

[clash city rocker]

When Hutton gets forward he always looks like bambi  on ice.

[saunders_heroes]

Richards is out on it too

He deserves a beer.
