Everton 4-0 Aston Embarrassing Villa post match thread

[saint13]

As I posted on this thread a bit ago, after 13 games last season Leicester were bottom, and look where they are now!

The difference with Leicester last year was although they were bottom, they were playing well and were always in games. They were creating chances, we are not. In most games we have 1 or 2 shots on goal at best...that is the most damning statistic for me. We never look like scoring, never mind winning. It doesn't matter who we are playing against the pattern is the same. We have too many players who are not good enough and confidence is non existent.

My silver cloud is that i will be cancelling the rubbish site that is Foxtel and saving myself over one thousand dollars a year. i got out of bed to watch the game and forced myself to sit it out til the end in sympathy with the away support. We are far too lightweight across the park, Gil tries his heart out as does Hutton yes i know he is limited but ten out of ten for effort. Grealish would be fine with better players around him. Did most of us get it wrong thinking that the squad was better than it is?

The quality of our players isn't good enough and confidence is low but that does not excuse not doing the basics right and not being prepared to battle. 1st goal 2 everton players unmarked at far post..2nd...lukaku was on his arse. Got up and headed in unchallenged.  3rd...fuck up..4th..sliced through us..that's nothing to do with quality or confidence. It's about players with no determination..it's about players who do not care enough..it's about players who jog back and don't work hard enough..it's about players who switch off..it's not what you expect from any professional footballer.

6 more months of this bollocks to go yet.

But at least we haven't got a struggle against relegation to worry about.

Sounds to me like the feeling of 87 is back amongst the fans too. I went to loads of away games that year and as the season went on and it became obvious to everybody we were going down the numbers at away games started to increase and lads I knew that didn't go away started to.

Reason, we stopped worrying about the football and just started having a laugh. To be fair though, it was a lot cheaper back then.

[Ron Manager]

To achieve a winning combination you need the spine of the team to be consistently good. The goalkeeper,the centre half and the centre forward. We do not have the personnel for these positions. Yesterday we were second to the ball far far too many times. In fact it occurred to me that we cannot possibly hope to stay up with the players that are available to Remi Garde. One or two show talent but not on a sustained level of performance. It would seem that Jores Okore and in particular Libor Kozak are not rated by the new manager and as for Adama Traore, well perhaps he is not anywhere near as good as we were lead to believe by what we saw on You Tube.

I feel sorry for Remi Garde he seems a decent bloke with an impossible task on his hands.

I am now of the opinion that we will probably go down without much of a fight.

[clash city rocker]

You hit the nail on the head there Ron...fight......totally inexcusable I think. It costs nothing to at least battle.

[preston28]

Who is going to want to join a team in this shit?I think it is too late, we will be too many points away when the window opens.
I think we better get used to the idea we are gone.

If it's all the same to you I won't be surrendering just yet.

You might not have surrendered but the players have?  It's like the sporting version of the walking dead ......

Villa are 5/2 not to be relegated. That is money in the bank as far as I'm concerned.
We will turn it round.

[Clark W Griswold]

I think we're gone to be honest. Even if our form improves, i just cant see it improving consistantly enough to get the points. Defence is again a shambles, Richardson and Clark as a left sided pair are the worst ive ever seen, they are utterly clueless.

[levico]

All the statistics of the Everton match were pretty disappointing but one stood out for me - no yellow cards for Villa players. Showed a lack of fight or maybe they just couldn't get near enough to Everton players.

Thanks Bish

I'm having some of that.

The difference this week versus against Citeh is that we largely stopped the ball coming into the danger area at VP whereas Everton peppered us from the start.
I honestly don't believe that Guzan, Richards and Clark are duds: I think that they have been battered and the effect is eventual capitulation. Our fullbacks and midfield have to close down the oppo and limit the opportunities. Yesterday, we were creamed.
Garde has to deal with this, and soon.

On their day most of the players are or would be good enough. Westwood Gabby Lescott and Richardson arenot good enough for this level even as squad players. 2 of them started yesterday.

10/10 for effort mate.  I watched it in a pub so at least I could get smashed & try to forget the utter shambles that are currently wearing the famous Aston Villa colours. No positives for me. Worst
villa team in living memory. Sad times.
