Everton 4-0 Aston Embarrassing Villa post match thread

[The Edge]

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.

Are you on something?

It's called being optimistic. No problem with that at all.

Had the joy of watching the goals stream in with my northern mates in Manchester. Worst feeling in the world. After watching MOTD I just said I wish we could forfeit the rest of the season.

Take it Goldie you don't rate our chances of staying up. 

I  know its a lot of ifs and buts but take  the  Leciester game should have seen out, Swansea at home - okay got battered last 15 mins but generally as good or poor as them.  Those 6 points would have had our heads out of the water.  Just hope we can blow the necessary bubbles whilst our heads are in the lake.

That game could have been lifted from any season in recent years; toothless up front and concede too easily.  I didn't expect us to win but I had hoped to see an improved performance. I hate the cliche of "must win game" but next week is probably one occasion that the term is appropriate.

It was similar to Lambert's first home game.

As I said before, the only positive I can scrape is that we are no further away from safety than we were at 3pm, still 5 points. Lose next week though and we need snookers.

Well I am always optimistic about the Villa but even I have to admit this is the worst Villa team in 18 years of the premier league. The main problem I see is not lack of ability but lack of fight. Eg: 2.0 down yesterday and ball goes out for a throw in to us. Their player walks away shielding the ball to stop us taking a quick throw in. Our players just stand and watch him. The fans were going ballistic. A small thing I know but indicative of the state of mind of our current crop of players. That's why I  questioned  if the previous poster was on something.

Just got round to watching MOTD. As everybody has said we looked a  complete shambles, didn't realise we actually got into Everton's half and was quite surprised to find Veretout had a chance and Richardson, who looked totally out of his depth, had a decent effort on goal.

The total lack of fight in the display is obviously unacceptable and that alone is something Garde must not allow to happen again, if we are going to have a remote chance of staying up.

[Nastylee]

Just don't see who is going to replace the 12 or so goals Benteke would have guaranteed.

[brontebilly]

Sounds like our captain will be next to be dropped. Very disappointing to read that the second game into Garde's reign that the players just capitulated again. Starting without Sanchez a big mistake though, the midfield we started with would be blown over by a gust of wind.

If we don't win next weekend I think we are down and I can't see us keeping a clean sheet

You see and his reign didn't turn out too badly did it.....

[Nastylee]

I can only think that the Sanchez omission was down to his worldwide travelling exploits. There was no reason to change after the last game. Have to be honest thought the Grealish for Sinclair one puzzled me. Away from you need a bit of pace and I think Sinclair could've offered more than Jack in this fixture. As for left back, we have very little choice.

yep. How did they go from the man city performance to such a gutless display? They are looking resigned to the drop which is unacceptable. We are typified by richards - a busy fool who somehow has made captain

[ASHTONVILLA]

Manchester city got well beaten as well, maybe we wore each other out!

Seriously though, I still think we can stay up. The other results were kind to us so we are no worse off and t's a point more than Sherwood would have after those two games. The manager is acknowledging the problems and dealing with them.

If we beat Watford then things will look a lot better. Hopefully we will start with the team that played against Man City next game.
