Sunderland v Rock Bottom Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[old man villa fan]

As much as most of our players are a joke, the referee was as well.  Pushes in the back all through the game and as for the incident with Gill.

[TopDeck113]

On the basis that it's the hope that kills you, I can now safely predict that Villa fans need not take out a funeral plan in 2016.

[LTA]

I now want relegation confirmed as soon as possible.  So much needs to be done to try and get us even competitive in the Championship.

We simply have to get back straight away to limit the damage being out of the Premier League.

Sadly.  I wouldn't put money on a short stay in that league.

[TonyD]

Fire sale most of the team.  Let the kids play out the season.   Nothing will change until TAC goes.  If you think it's bad now,  I fear we Ain't seen nothing yet.  This club is going to trapdoor and teabag down the leagues. 

[SashasGrandad]

How do you put a poll on here?

Worst Owner ever at a club in Birmgham?
*     Lerner
*     Carson Young

Who has done the most damage?

[onje_villa]

I'd start by making Veretout captain, fuck me it looks like the poor kid in his first season in England is the only one who gives a shit (along with Ayew), try to build a solid defensive partnership (yeah I know) and we absolutely must find someone to come in as a striker. Perhaps once the likely becomes inevitable some of the pressure will be off and we can start rebuilding.

Today feels like we've hit bottom, I truly fucking hope so.

[CT]

You reckon it can't get any worse, we have the mighty Chairboys in the Cup next week live on TV.

I would imagine Wycombe won't want us resting our "First XI".

In fact, I don't know if we have 11 players capable of beating a League two side.

[walsall villain]

I thought we'd win today. Clearly in denial.

But that's the last of the dying embers for me.

Pre Xmas I thought we would win 2 out of the three but after the Norwich game I knew we would lose today. I am now past disappointment phase and into very angry phase.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Garde should not be in this job. 

A Pulis, Allardyce or Moyes would have an organised team who would fight for 0-0's or 1-0's.

[Eurochamps82]

Fox the puppet and Lerner are totally to blame. Appointing a softly spoken Frenchman to save us when we still had an outside chance of surviving was an absolute  joke!

[FrankyH]

Doomed.

[villabear]

I have finally come around to accepting the fact that I am now in agreement that this is the worst Villa side in the history of my Villa supporting career.  I'm sixty-seven and have seen some right doozies.

Doozies - not the word I'm using Dave

[frank black]

It's no longer the going down bit that is getting at me, it's the thought of another half a season to go.

I just wish I had the ability to hibernate.

[PeterWithesShin]

There's zero point blaming Garde - when he turned up we had won 1, drawn 1 and lost 8 matches.

With our decent - useless ratio of approximately 1 decent player for every 10 donkeys, there was just no way that was going to get turned around any time soon.

Guzan
Okore
Bacuna
Richardson
Richards
Clark
Hutton
Lescott

Where is the decent defence out of that lot?

There isn't one. That's why even when we manage to fashion good things, whether it be decent play or actual goals, it is all so fucking pointless because we give goals away so fucking pathetically.

The passage of play - and i am talking over about a minute here - leading up to their third goal, for example, was some of the most pathetic "football" I've seen from a Premier League side in a very long time.

It's so bad, it is laughable.

It was W1 D1 L9 when Garde joined. He was just in the stands as a spectator at Spurs iirc.

[Edvard Remberg]

Okey - Blaming Garde for this? - it is that fucking team of players that is at fault

Again, we start tactically good (like before), and then we start making problems for ourselves. Risso - you ask me what has he done? - We have started most game tactically pretty good, and get undone by fucking player mistakes - and then the rest of the bunch goes to piece.

We are  not disciplined enough, and the others know that.

Gil and Grealish DID NOT IMPROVE US, but we have a very weak team. Hutton - there is a fucking reason he got an anger management certificate in secret santa.

Today we started well - yet then we have poor individuals - is that the managers fault? He is picking the best of a bad bunch - Traore? Apparently there were fitness issues, as he was subbed due to the same. Maybe - JUST MAYBE - the manager knows more than we do?

The Bacuna throw in tells our season in one move - how the fuck has the manager any clue about that? It is starting to look like players are sabotaging the club.

I am weeping - this is fucking horrible - but lets point where it is needed: (Fucking top management - Tom Fox get the fuck out of here, Players - do your work - Lerner - Sell......)

Veretout who was slated is our best player with Ayew. So who ever is slating our scouting department should think again. It is the mentality of the squad - Is it real enough for the rest to stop, just because Lerner is a fucking clown? - for me no! I have worked for an idiot - but I still pulled my weight - and so should the players.

Fucking ridiculous
