Norwich City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Villafirst]

Garde out! Get Moyes or Pearson now! At least they'd have the January window.

Perfect opportunity to get Moyes in and we weren't interested. He'd demand a proper PL budget that's why.

See you keep saying that, but you haven't even tried to produce any evidence for it.

Garde was the cheap option. Lerner is too penny pinching. £9m net spend in the summer says it all. I hope he loses millions with relegation

[Monty]

Today, we were much the better team.

Right up until they scored, and at that very moment, you could see the deflation happen. We just stopped trying, no desire, no drive, no energy, absolutely nothing.

Scoring against us is ridiculously easy, even for shit teams, we're just so fucking feeble. And when it invariably happens, 9 times out of ten, we just stop trying.

I think they must feel pretty much like we do, namely that there's some sort of celestial conspiracy against them. They've been losing and losing and losing and nothing they try seems to make it any better. That's why losing spirals continue down and down like this.

[curiousorange]

That defence isn't even worthy of the name. They're just four blokes who get paid to be moving coathangers.

[NorthYvillan]

Half a season gone and yet again we've huffed and puffed, not been outclassed but out-smarted which is more important.
Organisation, belief and just a bit of quality is what you need in most PL games and we've been found wanting in almost all of them.
Its tragic to witness, moreso when you see smaller clubs with less resources managing it pretty comfortably.

Totally agree. We've had possession and passed it about - quite well at times - but you always know that there's a defensive cock-up just around the corner. Two of them today and a 2-0 defeat - and we can't score.

[sickbeggar]

Well, at least we can relax and "enjoy" the rest of possibly our final Premiership season, no recovering from this, we will go down a shower of shit and will remain a shower of shit, Randy, save your cash in January - it will make no difference whatsoever, stick your "business model" and your shambles of a bunch of tossers Fox, Amistadt and old mother fucking Reilly somewhere painful, thanks for fucking up my football club, the only people who are glad you came are right now high-fiveing their six fingered brethren at St Andrews, before you go, just one question - How the hell did you manage to drag us down to their level?.

Yep save the money for May. If he bought someone good he would only be sold in the summer. Garde won't survive to manage us in the Championship. However bad a hand he's been dealt, a manager can't survive months of losing with no visible improvement either organisationally or confidence wise. Let the current rabble play out this sorry debacle and then start afresh in the summer. New players, new manager and please god a new owner

How do you know that?

Don't get me wrong, Lerner is a fucking idiot way, way out his depth in premier league football, and his "leadership" is taking us down this season, without a doubt, but some of the stuff on here about people knowing we didn't try to get Moyes / we got Garde because he was cheap is just angrily spouted guessing.

[pauliewalnuts]

The problem is, if you look at our available defenders, there is not a selection that can be made of four who will be anything like convincing.

They're all shit.

[in exile]

Don't blame Garde the players are simply not good enough. I doubt any manager could have done much more. Time to prep for next season, they won't spend anything in January as it would be pointless and nobody decent would join. Ship out any of the crap we can and promote som of the youth. Would like to think Riley and Almstadt will fall on their swords sooner rather than later.

Time to give total abuse to the Grim Reaper aka Randolph Lerner for the next 5 months.

So you honestly think Garde picked Villa's strongest 11 today?

[Jimbo]

The reason why all this is so fucking disgracefully unforgivable is the alarm bells have been ringing for five years. Five years, and yet still we've yawned and stretched and scratched our heads before languidly shuffling to the fire exit as the flames lick around our shoulders. The complacency and arrogance of it is nothing short of outrageous, and we'll get exactly what we deserve. And this won't be the end of it.

Thanks Randy, you utter, utter, utter idiot.

[NorthYvillan]

Sick of an owner who hides from view and hopes our problems will go away.

Sick of an arrogant CEO who brags about how good our commercial department is.

Sick of a gutless and spineless coward of a manager who thinks draws will help us.

Sick of this group of players who stick their thumbs up there arses when they go behind.

In 26 seasons, I've never felt as low and fed up about Aston Villa as I do right now.

You should try 46 and being a season ticket holder living 150 miles away from Villa Park

[LeeB]

The team he put out was shite, but I don't know if anyone has noticed but whatever team we seem to put looks shite too.

I think it may be down to having too many shit players, but I'll come back to you all when I've finished my investigations

[Dave]

"angrily spouted guessing".

Doesn't that describe about 97% of the internet?

Yep and that's it, but that's a core of pathetic players that have done this. Clark, Hutton, Richardson etc absolutely kill us every week.

[clash city rocker]

Well Randy won't be spending any money in January. .Even that daft twat can see we are down so why spunk  anymore money up the wall.

[ClarrieBlue]

I have seen nothing yet at any level of the club that makes me think we'll do well in the Championship next season. I fear our decline will continue.
