Aston Villa v Stoke City post match thread

[PeterWithe]

Of all the major worries, it's the fact that Stoke were utter wank. Yet comfortably beat us.

That's the bit that at least gives me a little hope, we haven't really been comprehensively outplayed yet, Liverpool maybe but there was still only a single goal in it.

Liverpool could have scored a few more, but didn't. I agree that so far they're the only one to turn the screw, but beyond Man United, we've played some pretty poor sides and taken four points.

We are a dreadful outfit.

I was disappointed with the crowd getting on Westwood's back. Not that he was great but he made the Richards chance and was better than the two clowns playing next to him.

Really? I thought Gana and Veretout did OK yesterday.

I find that baffling to.

I don't think any player stunk the side out yesterday, it's just that as a team it just didn't work. Mainly due to the tactics, or lack of them.

I thiught Hutton was very poor. The rest did ok. Stoke had a couple who did better and a team yhat looked like a limited cohesive unit.

Hutton looked a fish out of water, he was Ok until he crossed the half way line and was confronted by an opponent. Then realised he had to beat him and well yeah that's that attack done. Pass inside.

We're an uncanny reflection of Randy Lerner. We're not quite sure what we're doing, or why we're here.

And that's being generous about that clueless twerp

Perfect comment for the "underlying problem" thread.

BBC reporting Advocat has gone. Big Sam will keep his phone charged!

Yes, worth noting, Stoke are dreadful but coasted past us.

How many saves did their keeper have to make?

[Legion]

I counted one.

[N'Zimidy]

Gestede popped one off from outside the box.

Can't think of another effort.

[mattjpa]

I think people getting on sinclairs back are harsh. We aren't playing to his strengths. He looked really good until we completely changed the game plan to suit gestede

[PeterWithesShin]

At least Sinclair was making runs and moving off the ball, especially first half. Unfortunately he then fucked it by keeping going wide instead of driving into the box when he did get the ball. No other fucker was moving. No matter who is manager, our off the ball movement is wank. Watch us and see how often the player that received the ball in midfield or attack is either stationary, or is facing our own goal. Just stop start passing all the sodding time.

[Risso]

Just stop start passing all the sodding time.

Make you mind up!
