Aston Villa v Stoke City post match thread

[eamonn]

First game at VP since Swansea last season. Funnily enough I though we looked better this time. I guess Swansea are a lot better than Stoke, though.
I also appreciated Westwood's tidiness and technique more in the flesh. Like the rest of the team though he is too powder-puff and not brave enough.

Seeing that Ibrahimovic-wannabe Arnautovic give it the big'un in front of the North after scoring capped off a bleak afternoon.

It's going to be another long hard season again for us.

Cheer up, we get to kick start Chelsea's season in a fortnight.

That would be even funnier if it wasn't so true.

If we play Traore and Chelsea play Ivanovich. If we play Sanchez, Veretout and Gana and they play Matic and Fabregas as a two centrally, then if we take it that the side are preparing to press more, then we will get Mourinho sacked for the second time.

I am going and might have a bet on Chelsea first goal and scorer.
Any suggestions ?
Terry corner 6 minutes.
Hazard is lacking confidence Tap in after Guzan chucks the ball to Will I an

Quite a few ifs there Ads......

How many times have we had situations like this were the fans can see what we need to do then our manager just does completely the wrong thing? I recon he'll start the same team as Saturday and we'll get hammered.

Given that we played five at the back at home to fucking Stoke, I'd expect the Chelsea team to be something like:

Guzan

Hutton, Bacuna, Crespo, Richards, Lescott, Clark, Senderos, Richardson, Amavi








Gestede.

He'll bring him on with ten minutes to go to change the game when we're nine-nil down.

[Big Mac]

With Westwood who will score 5

Is it wrong to say that the "Guess the Crowd" result is more exciting?

It would be for me Simon, I am even thinking of changing my username to UnPointSeulement.

I appear to be the Tim Sherwood of GTC, I have even stopped shaving on matchdays and sit slumped in my armchair eyes wide open and staring into the middle distance wondering what to do next.

I got more points for my guess on Saturday than the team have got in 8 matches.
