Aston Villa vs Swansea City Match Thread

[Chris Jameson]

It's his version of a suicide note.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He's got two left backs on the fucking bench. He really is taking the piss. I think he wants to show with this line up his mates in the press how limited his squad is. As I said, the seven on the bench would beat his team today.

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

[gpbarr]

Thats a side nailed on for defeat. The only positive is we can move on from this clown after he gets the boot tomorrow ...... PLEASE LORD

[Yossarian]

Let's try something completely different in the hope it works. I am just glad he is not a doctor or something else where he could do real harm.

[Villa in Denmark]

He's a substance abuser. Can anyone think of a better reason?

He's daring them to sack him because he knows he's out of his depth and wants out, but he knows that everyone knows that he's out of his depth which means that he'll never work again unless he can get on the Sky hyperbole machine gravy train so he really needs his pay-off.

Either that or the blindfolded darts joke is actually true.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Have we in all our history ever had a manager that has deliberately selected a team to lose?

[KRS]

Tim Sherwood just on SSN..."It's a cup final for us...we 'll be on the front foot, I couldn't get anymore centre forwards on the pitch to be honest today"...a cup final you say? Well looks like we're going to lose 4-0 again then. *facepalm*

[Steve R]

That's a bollocks-to-the-lot-of-you-just-give-me-the-compo team. Even by that standard it is totally weird.

[Tom_Mc9?]

What an interesting line up.

I saw Tom Ross retweeted a chap trying to give away some freebies for the game today. I opted against going.

[walsall villain]

Would any of us pick that line up? It's crap. Far too light in midfield. Every week there is yet another random line up.

[Matt Collins]

Since when did getting as many centre forwards on the pitch as possible become the tactic of a good manager to start a game with?

[GarTomas]

Someone on the BBC website just made the point that the Bayern side is like a Garth Croooks team of the week where the players in positions/role makes zero sense in an actual match.

It looks with the today's lineup he's used some random selection criteria to pick 11 players and then just sent them out to play.  Maybe who turned up training earliest in the week??

[PaulWinch again]

Win please and then do one please Tim.

Bacuna - agh!!!!!
