Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Monty]

Considering Sherwood's big strength is meant to be his cheeky chappy motivational ability, the players look miserable as sin, and there's not much in the way of urgency. The attacking players should be demanding the ball and coming to look for it, but they seem to be hiding a lot.

This is part of the reason I don't want Moyes. Personality matters, that's what Sherwood brought last season - however, it's turned out that he's not so much full of confidence as not in control of his emotions, which seem to be infectious one way or another. Moyes, not exactly the cheeriest at the best of times and also feeling the stress this season at Sociedad, wouldn't give this team the emotional spark back.

Is it too much to ask to be able to take a decent corner for christ's sake?

I'd love to see Lerner and his cronies shortlist of twats they've drawn up for the next go at work experience in the Premier League with the Villa.

Another woeful Westwood corner

[pauliewalnuts]

Wow, that was one of the worst corners I've seen in ages

[andyh]

Being sarcy? Yes?

[Walmley_Villa]

Only an experienced manager can save us, not somebody learning/blagging their way in football management.

Sneak preview:

Howard Wilkinson, Dave Bassett, Curbishley...

The last one against Stoke was one to behold!

Chelsea won't have an easier game til they play us again

Wow, that was one of the worst corners I've seen in ages

That guarantees his starting position until Christmas

[Malandro]

at least we are giving it a real go

Being sarcy? Yes?

[mrfuse]

Time to go. Abysmal second half.

Is that you, Sherwood or the Club?

[ez]

At least the 'but we only lose by 1 goal' brigade will shut up.

[JUAN PABLO]

the players just taking their wages now - dull as fook
