Aston Villa vs Swansea post match thread

[pauliewalnuts]

How have we gone from an FA Cup final to this, totally fucking surreal.

No, we've been in decline for more than 5 years now. The FA Cup run was oasis in an ocean of shit.

The final itself was a fairly shitty oasis, mind.

An oasis of piss.

No surprise that the players Sherwood says he didn't want were the the few positives from today. Gueye looks like he's a great find, so industrious, a proper footballer. Ayew from looking like a lost schoolboy showed such encouraging signs today, I'm really happy to have him at Villa Park.

The player Sherwood said he wanted, Gestede, looks at best a sub and that's being generous.

The only other positive is this surely had to have been Sherwood's last game. I like our squad, we just need a manager to bring it all together. I just hope the board have done their homework.

This club is fucking rotten at every level.

That's just it, it's not. We have a terrible manager that needs to be fired. We have a very decent infrastructure now, much more solid financially, and we still have some good and very good players. The players we bought in the summer aren't shit. They just have not been used well.

Are you Randy hiding in Canada?

what on earth does that even mean?

I don't know, but I'm starting to worry that even Justin Trudeau wouldn't keep this Villa team up now. Good players, but that's a lot of games ticked off.

If they're good players then perhaps a different manager (one with a pedigree) would keep them up?
Unless deep down you think they're actually shite?

As galling as it feels it is still only 4 points not 14. It's not like Norwich or Bournemouth who are above us are playing brilliantly. So with the right approach we can get out of this. And don't forget that Everton were bottom or bottom three at least at Christmas and finished mid table. It's not remotely over yet.

I'm with you with that. A new manager could give us a lift and Lerner has to make the change NOW.
Our decline will not end with a change in manager though. That'll will only end with Randy selling up, in my opinion. 

I'll take moving off four points after 10 games for now and worry about the rest later.

We can't force Randy to sell, we can't magic up a buyer, but Randy can sack this useless fucking chancer. He's so out of his depth it is painful to watch week after week.

If not tonight, then when?

How far adrift do we have to be before we act?

Men of the Match - Jordan Ayew & Alan Hutton, but for me Hutton shaded it (as much as I don't like him)

The problem is when your only width is from your fullbacks and you have a striker who literally only offers anything when you're getting crosses onto his head you really can't afford for your fullback to fluff every single crossing chance he got and for that reason I can't give Hutton the MOTM award.

My bigger concern is that all the things we did well seemed to come from the players not from training.

Cant disagree with you but he was still (shared) Man Of The Match for me

How have we gone from an FA Cup final to this, totally fucking surreal.

Nothing surreal about it - we've been shit for 5 years.

Never learns from his bloody mistakes. Stupid man. Fuck off out of my club!

[villan from luton]

I thought the first half was very poor, but we actually played ok in the second half till they equalised then it went pear shaped. Actually thought Bacuna did ok in the centre

Grab the bull by the horns tonight, Randy, and sack him now. Not tomorrow or the next day, do it NOW!

[David_Nab]

Pat Murphy sounds delighted.

Pat Murphy if we are relegated

Sherwood needs to be fired, yes. However, who is in charge of the replacement? Fox? The bloke that stated Sherwood was on a shortlist of one?

I dread to think Sherwood's replacement if he's sacked tonight, which he should be. Are we so short on money that we can't look to be more ambitious than to appoint a manager with so little experience? Considering the money rolling in next season from the new tv deal, Sherwood's appointment looks naive at best and negligent at worst.

We're two points behind Newcastle and four behind Bournemouth as it stands and both teams have a game in hand on us. I have absolutely no faith whatsoever in the board appointing anyone decent either, should Sherwood be fired. Rotten leadership from the top. Any one of us on here could have said what was going to happen with Sherwood, and here we are. Villa are not led well, from boardroom to pitch-side. It is a dreadful combination and one which will see us go down.

[Quiet Lion]

I just cant see anyway out of this.

Relegation looks an absolute certainty for this stinking rotten team.

I disagree - this is a decent team being poorly coached and managed.

No doubt Sherwood is to blame, but more than a quarter of the season has gone and we have 4 points. We don't have any natural goal scorers, the defense is utterly porous.

Whoever comes in will have to work a fucking miracle.
