Aston Villa vs Swansea post match thread

[Monty]

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?

We're a long way behind other clubs in terms of preparation - you need a competent manager to train players into a style, that can take time and we've wasted loads. We also have a grim looking fixture list now, playing teams which have better players than us anyway.

He should do what Keegan did after losing to sn abject loss to Germany.


JUST FUCKING GO

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.

Swansea 8/5 to win this. Should be like printing free money.

Do you want to bet against us? At the moment, yes, every bloody week that fuckwit's in charge.

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.

[villan from luton]

How on earth did he not bring Amavi on, Richardson was shattered and was making that sub, who looked shocking the other night v Stoke, look like Lionel Messi. I keep hearing about the squad being shit, I don't agree. The likes of Clark, Okore, Veretout, Ilori and Kozak weren't even on the fecking bench today. Gabby was knackered as well, yet he takes Grealish off, who was getting into the game in the second half.

[HK Villan]

Great. Can we have a proper Manager now please?

[saunders_heroes]

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.

[Billy Walker]

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.

[NorthYvillan]

This side should be nowhere near the bottom three, there's some real talent there.  The  problem is Tim simply has no idea how to manage ninety minutes or control the game time as could be seen  when right on cue - like last season - Swansea got us on the break in the closing stages.  Deja vu.

I agree. He has no idea how to use substitutes to control the game - and his team selections to start with are strange. It's time to go Tim

The final itself was a fairly shitty oasis, mind.

Since Lescott came and Gestede became a regular in the side, we have gone from bad to worse.  Can't Sherwood see the limitations in Gestede.  Unless you put the ball on his head in the penalty area he is nothing and therefore we are playing with 10 players.  In the PL you cannot carry players.

I looked at the team before the game and thought how weak it looked in midfield and saw that everybody else was making the same comment.  So why cannot Sherwood see it.  It is almost as though he is thinking "f*** everybody else, I am just going to be controversial with my selections".  I just do not get it. Is he trying to get the sack.

[oldham_villa]

I thought we played okay, but u just cannot continue to switch off in your own box

[Dave]

Although as a brief aside, had we won 3-1 today it wouldn't have been an unfair result.

The performance wasn't quite there, but it was much better than anything we've seen from them for a while.

Great.

Thanks for the insight.

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.
