Everton 4-0 Aston Embarrassing Villa post match thread

[LTA]

Garde said happy until first goal.  Questioned character of the players collectively, but didn't single out players.

All I can say is I am depressed but not as depressed as I were this time last Saturday 24 hours post carnage in Paris.  This is only a game.

I wonder what the Championship is actually like.

Competitive?

and physical which wont suit our lightweight fannies

A round of applause to the Villa fans today...from what I could hear on the tv they were fantastic.

I hope every single player went over and showed some appreciation for them. In reality, probably not.

It's win or bust next week for me! Watford are no mugs and will come full of confidence and almost expecting to win.

If we fail to win the game I think we are doomed as the other teams won't keep losing! We have lost no ground today but it won't keep happening

I have absolutely no idea what team or how but we have to find a way to win

The players owe the club a performance and if next week they don't for me it shows they simply aren't good enough or care enough

We are already doomed - the statistics since the start of the PL don't lie. I believe that if we survive, we will set a new record as the most amazing escape act ever.

I know it sounds negative but for me, this is about the long term now - will the club's heirarchy give Garde the time to win promotion back and then build from there. I do hope so. Because this constant changing of manager has cost the club very dearly. Remember, Garde is the innocent party here - he inherited an almighty fucked up shambles of a club - poor players, poor structure, poor upper management, poor ownership, and poor financial management. Whoever was advising Randy needs shot because his losses are shortly about to sky rocket on his investment.

The only bright star - we still have class.

Well said that man. Context and all that.

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

Is Adama that bad? Not even on the bench! I'd like to see Okore back - he wasn't on the bench either. Richardson and Westwood are rubbish. Why was Sanchez dropped?

[eamonn]

Statistically I don't think survival is the minor miracle its made out to be (I know no club has survived with five points from the first 13 games since football began) as we're not too far adrift and there's two thirds of the season left. Performances like today though, do make you wonder if we can ever be even mediocre again.

[itbrvilla]

Agree with the culture comment.  This has been the culture for 5+ year now. Lowering expectations, a replacing what we lose with cheaper poor quality replacements. The commercial side is doing ship compared to other clubs our 'size', I've heard about issues about the atmosphere in the academy too.  Like I've said previously, we fucking stink.

[preston28]

Why will Watford be full of confidence and expecting to win?

Because they're playing us?!  We give any team a win and a boost!

Hard to bounce back from?

[rob_bridge]

We lost a month between not sacking Sherwood immediately after Stoke and Garde starting.

Just another in a long line of Senior Management decision making Fuck Ups made since summer 2009. A very very long and expensive line.

[TheWarlock]

Hard to know what to say anymore.

As things stand we are easily the worst team in the prem, and the league reflects it.

Think we are as good as down, will take one hell of a change of fortunes to save ourselves, and I cant see it happening.

Utterly depressing, totally respect any Villan spending their hard earned money watching that away from home, watching at Villa park is bad enough! the club doesnt deserve the support it gets tbh.
