Everton 4-0 Aston Embarrassing Villa post match thread

[SoccerHQ]

As bad as anything under the previous managers that. It reminded me early on like the cup final and the game was pretty much panned out like that.

Whoever the manager is the squad isn't good enough for me. We don't have matchwinners, goalscorers and struggle to do the basics.

No chance this squad has 9 wins in them.

[Olof's Beard]

Well, we had a pretty similar formation to Everton but you look at the teams man for man, and is there any of ours that would get near their team? We have fallen so far, considering we were battling it out with them for 'best of the rest' not so long ago. It's so very dire.

The left hand side of the defence was a joke. I was really impressed with Clark over the second half of last season but he has been largely shite this time around, and it was all compounded by having Richardson alongside him. They walked through us down that side. Richards is a great athlete but has very little in the way of brain as well.

As for the midfield...well I have bit my lip all season when fans have been saying that Gana is better than Delph but surely that performance puts those ideas to bed. Anyone who thinks he is even close to Delph's level is just seeing what they want to see. We don't miss Delph quite as much as we miss Benteke, but we miss him one heck of a lot.

And who could blame the two of them for leaving? With them we would maybe have 10 points now but why the fuck should they carry this lump of shite on their shoulders? We are atrocious in every position. A goalkeeper that has gone bat shit mental, a defence that gets pulled apart like paper, the wimpiest midfield to ever play for the club and absolutely zero in the way of goal threat. Sanchez made a difference at least. He is far from perfect, but at least he has a bit about him. He should be in the team every week.

Absolutely woeful, albeit it against a very decent Everton side who, given everything, should be aiming for the top 4 if they keep their best players fit.

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.     

Remi will be gone if we are relegated.

Come in down Sean Dyche

I suppose Garde is still getting to know the squad, and he doesn't have much to work, but with he got the selection wrong today.  It looked far too lightweight and it was no surprise it proved to be just that.  If Sanchez was fit he should have started and I don't think Gil and Grealish should start together, certainly not away from home where you need a bit of grit and tracking back.

Our best hope is that we can grind out some results until the window opens and meanwhile line up some early signings at GK, striker and a couple of defenders.  If all else fails I'd at least like to see us go down fighting and not bending over every week.

I quite understand the mess Garde has taken over, but what I am having  trouble is the teams lack of understanding that at 2 down quite early on we continued to play with 11 men (okay 10 men and Hutton) for the remainder of the half.

By the way Richardson was far from our worst player  out there today.

let's not delude ourselves any longer. We are going to be relegated. It has been coming for 3 seasons now because of the 'direction' (or lack of) from our owner. Forget the desperate naive hope we will escape instead get your antidepressant prescription and AZ to plan your trips to Huddersfield, Leeds etc. 

[Sexual Ealing]

get your antidepressant prescription and AZ to plan your trips to Huddersfield, Leeds etc. 

If it helps you'll be able to use pretty much the same plan for both trips.

I think we'll stay up.

[auntiesledd]

It's an incredibly sad, desolate state of affairs when you feel relieved at only losing 4-0, almost gladdened.

This is the worst iteration of Aston Villa I have ever known. We absolutely reek of decay, unprofessionalism, complacency, stupidity and failure. We're almost certain to go down, and few teams will have deserved it more.

We're deep, deep, deep in the slimy, stinking shit. We've doggedly shovelled it all upon ourselves and now we're wallowing in it, rubbing it into our chest and under our arms with a goofy expression on our face. It's a horrible thing to witness. 

Sadly 'this'. A veritable desolate, reeking, shitehouse of sadness. Thanks Randy.

[clash city rocker]

I retired to the pub second half..then I had to leave as there were a number of those Sandwell twas in there laughing at us.. so thanks a bunch Randy for allowing our once proud club to be laughed at by fans from some little shitty club in Sandwell.

House!

This result is clearly payback for all the stick I gave John Parrott about this game last night so I take full responsibility and apologise unreservedly to you all.

Was he any better than that let down David Gunson?

[Taylor]

Yup. I'm afraid nothing will change unless our disinterested owner sells up. Randy, you have let us all down.

[SamTheMouse]

Annoyingly, the media is going to interpret our continued shitness as cast-iron evidence that Sherwood is actually great and had nothing to do with us being utterly wank.
