Aston Villa v Stoke City post match thread

[walsall villain]

Well said Ads, harsh on Westwood though who might be useful for us next season.

Well said Ads, harsh on Westwood though who might be useful for us next season.

Westwood would be a lower Championship level player. There are a fair few centre mids in the top half of that division that are better than him, he's as much use as soggy bog roll.

[silhillvilla]

Westwood will get steam rollered in the championship. He's a league 1 player

[preston28]

Well that was the first game for my 6 year old son. What a clusterf**k of a performance. We are championship bound for sure. The manager, team and owner are clueless. The only joy on the journey back to Preston was that my son said he'd like to go again. Obviously still the innocence of youth.

[adrenachrome]

He's clueless. He cannot organise a side in either defence of attack.

The goal was abysmal. Richards is never a centre half. He has no sense of position and got the wrong side of his man and then was caught way out of position, with Anoutavich unmarked, between the posts, 20 yards from goal. Unbelievably poor.

Westwood. He should go back to the fourth division where he belongs. He's utter garbage.

What on earth was that system in the first half? Stoke were utter bilge, yet they had it so easy, for the third year running. This says it all.

That's four on the spin and I cannot see anything but that turning into 9 on the spin as the next five sides we play have the nouse to expose or massive lack of organisation.

We are remarkably four points adrift after home games against Sunderland, Stoke and West Brom where we have scored two and taken one point. It's chronic. There is more than a whiff of relegation about us.

It's not a certainty, as there are good players there, badly coached and even more poorly organised. The manager is the cause of this. He's a fool. Chalk his name up alongside Houlier, McLiesh and Lambert as part of the steady stream of morons to take the reigns. It's like the Crisis of the Third Century as incompetent pretender replaces incompetent pretender.

There is something to salvage, but we have got to act now. We won't though. Fox hung on to an idiot like Lambert until it was almost too late. The fact that Sherwood is his appointment suggests he will hold on to the bitter end. On such terms, the turd that we've become will finally be flushed.

Post of the month, well done that man.

Of course one abhors the fecal metaphor, but it must be said that this is something like the truth.

[LTA]

Christ that was appalling. Knew we were in trouble as soon as I saw the team sheet. What a disgraceful, negative, boring starting 11.
Just not good enough for Aston Villa.
These last 5 years have been a fuckin disgrace to the club. Shame on you, Randy Lerner and your lack of ambition and pride in this club.
Let's just hope we stay in this league by hook or by crook.

Never thought I'd see the day where we'd set up a team at home which was intended to bore STOKE CITY into submission.

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

Pair of has beens, if Ireland was ever any good in the first place.

For Lescott and the rest its just a big pay day. Who gives a flying fvck for avfc apart from us fans

lescott is turning out to be a very bad signing. Another one of those players who just looked a poor match after always giving it the bigun after scoring against us. The boggies will be pissing themselves

[villan from luton]

I think questions need to be asked of Sherwood now. He has messed up on many occasions now and he still does not accept that. I got lambasted after the Blues game as his tactics were awful, but people were saying he should be praised for changing it, he should not have started like he did. Things have just got bad to worse and todays team selection was awful. If he wants to give Grealish a break fair enough, put Gil in.

[clash city rocker]

After seeing lescott playing for the Smethwick tossers last season against us I just don't know why we would sign him.

[villan from luton]

To be fair he got their player of the season

[Tony Erdington]

tactically clueless , lescott and Crespo can right off.

[Nastylee]

I just don't see any pace upfront or movement that will unsettle teams. The lack of width is also a worry with no natural winger in our squad. Ayew, despite how shit he has looked at times, has to play as we need someone who can run beyond otherwise teams are just going to squeeze us and put pressure on our leaky back line. The lack of midfield support is also killing us. To play without Grealish or Gil was criminal.

[ozzjim]

Ayew looked ok again when he came on. Did well a few times and looked like he was starting to settle, always wanted the ball and was willing to have a go. If he backheel had fallen for Veretout it would have been a lovely move.

The latter should start from now on, with Westwood getting splinters and Grealish and Gil in the side.

[aj2k77]

Can anyone tell me why Scott Sinclair is being played as a second forward? He's crap, he should be out wide or not in the side for me.

[FatSam]

If the manager of a cafe kept shitting in the slush puppy machine, he would be sacked.

That's a good point.
