Aston Villa vs Swansea post match thread

Six defeats in a row. He just has to go.

No more or less than this. I was happy to discover how happy I was when we scored. The numbness soon returned.

What was that formation? I still don't know and I spent 90 minutes trying to work it out.

Whatever you want it to be. Just use your imagination.

Were you in the dressing room?

...and to top it all off, I'm trying to think of a word to describe some of the Swansea fans afterwards.

Neanderthals is the best one without being offensive.

Just look at who was not in the 18 today, Veretout, Clark, Okore and Kozak. Is the squad that bad? The manager is a fecking joke, that team selection was a joke and his lack of subbing a very tired left back was the last straw for me and cost us the game as Swansea started targeting us there

Sinclair and Illori also.  That's 3 straight home games Gil has not started, surely he's the type we need in tight matches to unlock the door, away from home he's a luxury perhaps but at home I'd start him.

[Dave Pountney]

Here's the worrying bit. What confidence has anyone got that the clueless clowns running this great club have the faintest idea how to dig us out of this vast and ever deepening hole?

I only ask because they are the incompetent buffoons who dug the bloody great hole in the first place. Lerner, Falkner, Fox, the Gormless General........a roll of dishonour and shame.

Quite right, that isn't a poor squad IMO.

What were they doing?

They probably think that they are doing the right thing but don't realise the AVFC are not a baseball  team.  Jargon spouting and clueless Americans

Quite an amazing story for the Ayew family. On Friday 24th April this year Lorient won 5-3 away at Olympique Marseille, Jordan scoring twice for the away side against his former club, and Andre scoring once for the home side. Today, exactly six months later, and on the first occasion their respective new clubs have met since their signings, they both managed to get on the score sheet again.

One of the major problems with Lambert teams was how static we were. There were endless occasions when players had little space and there was no movement from teammates. Players just standing in one space, rooted to the spot, not making themselves available for an outball. I thought the fundamental need for movement would be a basic coaching exercise, a requirement of every player to learn and apply. It is still happening with numerous examples today. That's no fault of Lerner, Fox et al.

I believe there were sheep involved

[levico]

It feels like 1969/70 all over again.

Yes, or 1966/67.

Would it make any difference?

I think it's very much like 69/70.  A bright new manager, having promised much, eventually realises he can't do what he originally thought was possible.  He gets sacked, but his successor isn't capable of keeping us up.  Alors, after a long and steady decline, the nadir of the club's history sees us getting relegated to somewhere Aston Villa shouldn't be.

Boo.
