Former PL club Aston Villa 2-3 Watford - post mortem thread

[phantom limb]

Played well, still lost. The hallmark of a side that is going to go.

[Matt C]

We couldn't beat an egg.

This Villa outfit could end up being the worst team in the PL ever.
This is what 5 years of Lerner austerity does to you. Blame one man for our decline - Randy fuckin Lerner.

The rest of the season is just a waste of time.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm done. Can't take any more. I need to find something, anything to do on a weekend that doesn't leave me feeling completely depressed. Today was a new low. Looking at the league table it's obvious we're gone.

Play badly - lose.

Play better - lose.

There is an inevitability about this relentless grimness that is horrific.

Ride our luck and take a point from Man City but otherwise there seems to be pretty much nobody who can't come to Villa Park and beat us.

Watford FFS.

[Grande Pablo]

Even with 2 awful keepers, we can't put enough pressure on.
We should sign their right back - looked very good.
Going to stick my head in the oven.

Agreed, can't see us getting more than 20 points, and could easily do a Derby.  I can't see us winning another game.

[saunders_heroes]

7 points adrift. Jesus wept.

[PaulWinch again]

I mean this is a sign we're done, that is an absolutely horrific result. You just can't concede 3 at home against Watford.

Dead and buried. Randy Lerner should be ashamed with himself. Fox for extending Lamberts contract then lining up Sherwood then sacking him too late should be ashamed of himself. Whoever came up with this transfer committee bollocks, take a look in the mirror. Everyone with any sort of position of responsibility at the club hasn't a fucking clue what it takes to make a success of a football club. Terrible ideas. Whatever it takes to get Lerner and his cronies out of the club I'd do it. Just take a hit Randy, you are a complete and utter failure as a Chairman, a loser, good buy my arse, you've ran us in to the ground.

[DB]

Didn't go today, but those that went, were there signs of improvement that may give me a glimmer of hope?

[mrfuse]

The Gomes injury turned the game 2nd half.  We had them under the cosh and that break changed everything.

They could have left him on the stretcher in goal and we still wouldn't have beaten them.

Too bloody right. A stain on the name of Aston Villa. The day he came anywhere near us will go down as one of the worst in our history.

How did the Ayew goal and 10 minutes announced for injury time not galvanize us like it would every other team? We managed it in the first half leading to Richard's goal.
