"Alan Hutton, Micah Richards, Joleon Lescott and Kieran Richardson should not have formed a Premier League defence eight years ago, never mind in 2015. Gabby Agbonlahor should not still feature in top-flight games, never mind start them. Villa’s best player in Carles Gil remains on the bench. Rudy Gestede – a man backed by Sherwood as the best header in English football – is fielded, but with no wingers on the pitch. A litany of mistakes, and that was before kick-off."

They're right, you know. Time to go

Jesus Christ that article is absolutely spot on.

Only because the lights were changing and we did not have time to get out of the car and scare the living sh*t out of him.

Ayew is feeling it hard, going by his post match comments:

"Every week it's the same thing, we play good football but we never win"

I saw him talking to his brother on the pitch after the final whistle and he looked unconsolable.

Tried so hard to back TS, flying in the face of overwhelming opinion.

But when he says he has a fully fit squad to pick from and picks Lescott, Richardson, Gabby, Bacuna and Gestede to start, the game is up.

I mean, Gestede is an awful, awful player but for fucks sake, his ONE attribute is heading the ball in dangerous areas in the box. So his supply line today is what? Picking Richardson over Amavi is the final straw for me.

I don't actually think we deserved to lose today, but we've lost to the worst Swansea team I've seen in years.

We always find a way to lose, it's just in our DNA.

That team is gone. I don't honestly think there's an available manager out there who can save us. We're fucked, were as good as in the Championship and we'll need very sensible decisions to make sure we don't become the next Leeds / Sheffield Wed when the inevitable happens.

I'm gutted, and just sick to death of seeing us lose like this.

Ha ha, I'd never be scared by a couple of mods. Nearly missed Jamelia whilst reading all your quips!

[Goldie.7]

Just seen the dust up in the tunnel at the end...Richards seemed to be going psycho in there.

Where did you see it?

[footyskillz]

Some of Sherwood after match comments are very unprofessional and naive and shirking responsibility.
I think if a new manager came in he could actually get more from the players than Sherwood so its an excuse to say about players not being quite good enough. True honesty would be to admit Sherwood didn't get it quite right now cand again rather than blaming players.
Imagine Sherwood saying that
Instead he's defensive and somewhat arrogant in hius comments -

'I'm confident its good to be especially when some of the players out there aren't '

IN response to you must admit you're in a hole

'No I'm not . The club is in a hole'

Could those who went today say that villa were continuolosly on front foot and gave it a go ?? I'd like to know from people at game what the tempo and attacking impetus was like

I said the same in the PM thread. His brother was trying to swap shirts but it's like the younger Ayew had just been told his pet fish of many years had died. He looked every bit as gutted as the rest of us. You can see why it would wear on players.

Bloody hell. You look at that defence and they are right. Together with a shite keeper, 3 of those 4 defenders are awful. In fairness Hutton was ok today

[BC54 VFC]

I feel sorry for Jordan Ayew, and I've certainly changed my view of him over the past few games. From the very first match away at Bournemouth he has been played out of position for a large percentage of the time he's spent on the pitch. He's clearly got some ball skills but too many times today he seemed to have no-one in support when he had the ball. To cap it all, once Adama came on he had to move to the left to accommodate him. We need to be playing our better players in their best positions.

Guzan was okay today. Hutton lost ayew for the goal.

Richards, lescott and Richardson were a bunch of clowns. Lescott could have scored at the death as well.
