Aston Villa vs Swansea post match thread

[Des Little]

How far have we fallen? We can't even spell the name of the club in the thread title correctly.


Lerner out.

[Walmley_Villa]

as an aside what are peoples thoughts Veretout? Why has he vanished!

Why is Amavi on the bench when Gestede is only as good as his supply lines.

Yep, goal v Bloos and second v Redscouse were supplied by....?

Post match interview:

"Am I going to be in the job next week? I'm not the person to ask. I feel like the club is in a hole.

"I am disappointed with the result, we didn't deserve to lose the game. We can't carry anyone because we're getting done. At the moment we are short. If people don't give everything we'll come up short.

"There's no shortage in desire but the quality is not quite there. We're not world beaters. Our league position suggests we're not and today wasn't our day."

The usual 'not my fault guv' bollocks then.

Typical blame the players and other staff bullshit.

I genuinely dislike this bloke to DOL levels.

"If people don't give everything" then "I can't question the effort". Make your mind up Teflon Tim.

My memory is short I know, but I think I now hate him more than DOL. He's pulling a noose around the squad week by week. He's a nasty self centred bastard.

As an aside, after the game I pointed at the car in front and said to Leeg "isn't that the reg of the bloke on H&V that has his number plate as his username?". And it was him. Highlight of the day!!

For me the highlight of the day was finding a parking place in Bevington Road yards before "residents permit sign". Life can't get much better than that for a Villa fan these days!

Heady times for us both!

Re. Veratout. None of us what goes on at training, but I suspect he has fallen out with Sherwood or someone else in the coaching staff. If that's the case then I don't blame Sherwood for dropping him, he must maintain a sense of discipline. Shame though.

[elviscole]

To say the club is rotten from the top is wrong. We have employed crap managers and now it looks like we will be looking for another one. Lets hope its not Moyes.

[walsall villain]

Haven't these noses got anything better to do?

Clearly we are a little bit short these days.

Can't be arsed to post about the game - I'm just so tired of it all - owner, board, manager, tactics, team selection, players - just unrelenting shit week after week. Heard Sherwood's post match comments on the way back and there were so many contradictions - can't criticise the players, all worked hard etc BUT also he'd just been to tell them we can't afford to carry any passengers. What annoyed me the most was he said the  players were basically scared to play at Villa Park but they can't play all their games away! That's right, cos we're doing so well away aren't we Tim?

What brought it all home to me was the montage of JPA goals at half time by way of tribute on his 40th birthday - it showed in stark, HD contrast just how far this club has fallen under the stewardship of Lerner. Sad,sad times being a Villa fan right now

Park where you like next season.

Just seen the dust up in the tunnel at the end...Richards seemed to be going psycho in there/. He's one of the few who can hold his head up high this season.

[Des Little]

The quality 'we are missing'were all sitting on the bench, you twat. Now sling it.

[Tayls_7]

We're going to need a much better quality striker than Gestede if we are to compete in the Championship next season. Sorry, gallows humour kicking in.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

How can you win a game with Guzan Lescott and Gestede in a team?
I thought Bacuna was our best player.
Richards is a poser, he does not need to get involved or go diving after the ball.
Sorry Ayew just runs up blind alleys.
Ricardson is so average it is untrue.
Gana again nice touches but does not effect the game either offensively or defensively.
Hutton can not cross the ball.
Jack was excellent today and set up the goal.
Gabby at least ran about a bit but is obviously not fit.
This is a relegation team with a Manager out of his depth, we might sack Sherwood but I think it maybe too late.
The situation we are in today is because of 5 years of awful leadership and strategy by the owner.

Grealish was not excellent today whatever were you watching. Gana was very good especially in the second half. Alan Hutton cannot cross a ball,you are right there but he was still our best player. Its not even November and you think we will be relegated!  We have some very good players who with the right manager (and coaching staff) will improve in bundles. Richards is a poser? Very far from it. He gives everything and has been our best player this season.

Grealish was poor, I thought, so easily pushed off the ball every time

grealish was appalling today bar his run for the goal, the only time he went route one.

lescott, sweet baby jesus and the orphans and to think that clark didnt make the bench

[Legion]

Fucking fuckety-fuck.
