Norwich City vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[supertom]

No point in booing the team that should be saved for Lerner and co. Players are not good enough and that's not their fault. The blame lies with those who appointed managers and bought these players. Well done you wankers.

Agreed. The players try their hardest but they're just not good enough.

I didn't see evidence of that today for several of the players

Me neither. Ayew and Veretout did. The rest looked like they couldn't be bothered frankly. Even Hutton who whilst shite, normally gives a good shift, looks like he's not enjoying playing given that he's expected to be our main creative outlet on the right (without ever having support) and still be back in position to defend (without ever having support). It's a thankless job and on top of that he's making shitty errors every game.

Bacuna can't be arsed. Richardson is delighted to be picking up millions at Premier League level whilst doing very little to earn that. Richards thinks simply running a lot constitutes effort but can't be fucked to engage his brain and show awareness, positional sense or even attempt to organise the fuckers around him. Westwood and Sinclair are stealing a living. If they got any lazier they'd wear oxygen masks so they didn't even have to breath themselves.

I'd suggest he clearly didn't see today's match if he reckons they tried their hardest.

The minute Norwich scored they collectively gave in. Pathetic.

Gana's body language was appalling

Remi says ''he's confident we'll get a win soon''

I'm not.

The thing that saddens me the most is that we're going down without a fight. That's EVERYONE, not just the players.

Owner - I know I shouldn't speak of his name, but could you imagine Ellis allowing us to get in this state? There's no way he would have contemplated appointing McLeish, Sherwood or Garde in the first place, or leaving the mumbling fool Lambert in charge for as long as he was.
Players - Enough has been said about these c##ts.
Fans - We've been subjected to misery for so long now, it has become the norm. How have we got to the point where even we've given up the fight? Every weekend, we all just shrug our shoulders and get on with another week of misery. In past times, there would have been absolute carnage at Villa Park, if fans had been subjected to the current state of affairs.

You'd imagine that there should be uproar, protests, and all manner of backlash from us, the fans.....but we're going down with a whimper. And Randy has made us this way.

So exactly what do you suggest we the fans do?

Don't think there is anything we 'can' do - Damage is already done. Was just stating how things have changed so dramatically in recent years.

Remember the backlash the club received at McLeish's appointment - Protests, heated phone-ins, negative atmosphere at matches, etc....  We're in a much worse state now (and yes, partially because of 'that' period), yet they are all getting away with it scot free.

Years of being pummelled by that bloody football club have made us this way. Sad times.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Don't rate Garde. Fair enough, we have a buch of shit houses for a first team, and I know he's only been in charge for a handful of games, but he's showed me nothing to make me think he's the right man. And as for getting us out of the 2nd division, he's got no chance.

[curiousorange]

I hate Micah Richards. Richardson and Hutton are easy targets but that bloke plays at looking like he knows what he's doing. Come the revolution and all that...

[sirlordbaltimore]

Remi says ''he's confident we'll get a win soon''

I'm not.

I'm glad to hear he thinks that to be honest. Because if he didn't we'd best pack up now

Well you proved me wrong

[Goldie.7]

We've won 6 league games in the entire year of 2015 under three managers. Very very grim.

[Villa Lew]

Complete and utter rubbish. As the 3rd round of the FA Cup is usually played on the first Saturday in January, Ayew would normally just miss the Wycombe game but now he misses the Sunderland game. So any chance of us beating them has gone and any remote chance of staying up gone.

[clash city rocker]

My next game will be  Palace.. I really want to hurl abuse at someone because of what has happened to us but I can't think of who I can abuse. Suppose I ll just have to sit there and shrugged my shoulders yet again.

[aev]

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

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.

I guess the fact that we have been trying to do football on the cheap for the last few years leads some people to think like that.

[villadelph]

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.

This.

Agreed. The players try their hardest but they're just not good enough.

At last someone's nailed it the players were trying they have been all season but the sad fact is that we have sold our better players and bought in mainly shit players. We have done this over the last three or four years, Lerner has been trying to do it on the cheap and these are the players we are left with. In retrospect I have been as guilty as the rest in blaming successive managers but now I think that all of them never stood a chance under Lerners ownership and cost cutting. He came as our saviour but has turned our great club into a joke, Bruce Forsyth on stage once said we are called Aston Vanilla because everyone licks them. We will come again and be great again but not until there is a new owner.

[curiousorange]

I wouldn't bet on us to beat a bunch of one-eyed knock kneed Chelsea pensioners with a two goal headstart, let alone Sunderland. Or Wycombe, come to that.
