Norwich City v Aston Villa - Match Thread

[Steve67]

We really do have some fucking diabolical players. They're just so irritating-the latest twat is this Gana Gueye chancer-he is fucking useles. Replacement for Delph? Jesus Christ, I thought he started the season ok, but now he looks absymal.

And Westwood-has there been a worse footballer in our history? He looks like he is bordering on tears, is fucking tiny, lightweight. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, these players.

Bacuna and Richardson....Sinclair....no no no, just no. Fuck off.

Good rant Axl. Always appreciate a rant. Villa really are shit. Cowardly team selection from Garde. He now needs to be brave. Norwich are no great shakes but will win this without having to work too hard because we have way too many players who don't care enough or are not good enough.

[Goldie.7]

We're not getting enough players forward.
Shit corners.
Shit set plays.
Shit defending.
We're keeping the ball for decades.
Very poor end product.
Horrible team selection.
Aimless balls up to Ayew.
Gana passes back too much.
Hutton is unbelievably shit going forward.
Ayew is lost up front on his own.
Sinclair is Gabby mrk 2.

Oh yeah and we're losing....

[supertom]

The problem I have with Garde is he seems to still be learning everything we already knew about this bunch, Hutton can't cross, Clark is a liability, Bacuna does not give a shit, Westwood offers nothing and Richardsoon is a steaming pile of shit.
Yet all are on the pitch.
I am really having my doubts about this bloke.

It could be worse though. Gabby might be playing.

[andyh]

It really is difficult to put into words how bad we are and utterly depressing the whole thing is.
You can't keep saying we are shit and wank because they are just words and they lose their impact and meaning.

The only way to describe how utterly frustrating and miserable I feel about the whole thing it that I would happily take a cricket bat to a number or our player and smash them in the face.

We effectively stopped playing after about 20 mins. We haven't looked interested or willing or capable of competing in this game, even after the encouragement of the first 10 mins when Norwich looked there for the taking.

I'm starting to believe that Garde is cowardly and I'm staring to believe that many of our 'players' have now given up.

[Nii Lamptey]

So.... we're at the half way point of the season today. 1 win and 5 draws out of 19 games - which equates to roughly a 5% win ratio.....
We need to win at least 10 games in the 2nd half of season, upping that 5% to at least 50% -Not a cats chance in hell of that happening really is there?

Garde needs to adopt the Keegan approach in the 2nd half of season - Score more goals than them.... Cos we can't defend for shit!

[Morten]

All of us can see it - Bacuna, Richardson, Sinclair - all so poor it is unbelievable

Garde can not wait until late in the game to change something. He must bring on either Grealish, Gil og Traore. I think the game would be perfect for Grealish to make an impact.

Just saw the highlights from the first half. Once again it really is a goal out of nothing.

I hope we can come back from a goal down again. But even if we do, a draw is not enough, we need to win games.

Clark's presence reduces the defence to a fucking pinball machine.

[JUAN PABLO]

Why does sinclair look ok for 15 mins and then disappears

[levico]

Can anyone honestly see Garde leading the charge for promotion in the Championship next year?

I'm beginning to think he's a French McLeish.

[Goldie.7]

Why does sinclair look ok for 15 mins and then disappears

Because he's a shit player.

Totally hysterical.

[kippaxvilla2]

Where are the subs then?  Has anyone told him we need to win here?

[pauliewalnuts]

Why does sinclair look ok for 15 mins and then disappears

He's a perfect example of the slopey shouldered, half-arsed, can't be fucked lack of effort that cripples this team.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Can't believe the manager is bent criticised for coming an having s big bunch of useless ****** for players. Have you ever thought the players he's not starting with are also really shit?

[N'Zimidy]

Sinclair can't even outrun Brady.

Exactly what does he offer?
