Sunderland v Rock Bottom Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[itbrvilla]

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.

Moyes? Really?

[TheTimVilla]

We are not going to win a game this season.

Judging by that display, I'm amazed we even got eight points this season.

[Risso]

It's the countless unforced mistakes that are killing us, and that's either just poor coaching or players who don't give a shit.  We'd just scored, got a bit of confidence back, the crowd were urging the team on, then the first thing that happens is that Veretout woefully passes it out for a throw in as we were on the attack again.  Countless mishit passes, throw ins straight to them, and numerous other school boy errors culminating in the last two minutes of utter shambolic play, where we looked like we were actually trying to score the goal for them.

I'm apoplectic. Why do I torture myself every fucking weekend? 2015 was utterly lousy even with that semi final. It wasn't worth it, not by a long chalk. Having to wait for the inevitable is awful, like waiting for test results you know are going to be bad.

Please, just get on with life in the Championship. Play some kids, play a different formation, anything - it's mentally killing us.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Garde has done fuck all. Shit team, maybe, but he's made absolutely no improvements to it - don't give me any " we did well for half an hour against West Ham..... We've been unlucky...." He's had 9 games and we're just as absolutely shite as we've ever been. He can fuck off for all I care. I heard his interview today, talking about how footballers need to be winners. Put a southern accent on his bullshit and it's Sherwood talking. lerner's fault, but Garde is not the man.

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.

Certainly is the worst in my time and clearly the worst side we have ever had.

So, just out of interest, which kids would you play and for who?

[LTA]

I can see the atmosphere at our remaining home games being very poisonous.

[AlexAlexCropley]

We go 1-1 and seemed to change tactics.Garde being cautious? And Kozak any day of the week over Rudy.

[andyh]

Obviously questions are being asked about Garde, and so they should be.
Yes, he inherited a basket case, yes the damage was probably already done and maybe we were/are beyond redemption.
But, there he been so little improvement since he came, we still have no idea whether he is the right man for the job.

Do we risk the fact he might not be upto the task of building a team capable of getting us back up?

[Edvard Remberg]

It's the countless unforced mistakes that are killing us, and that's either just poor coaching or players who don't give a shit.  We'd just scored, got a bit of confidence back, the crowd were urging the team on, then the first thing that happens is that Veretout woefully passes it out for a throw in as we were on the attack again.  Countless mishit passes, throw ins straight to them, and numerous other school boy errors culminating in the last two minutes of utter shambolic play, where we looked like we were actually trying to score the goal for them.

Risso - you have asked why I think Remi is "our solution" (or whatever) - you can't blame a manager for fucking idiotic mistakes - nobody plans them - we should have done better - but we have started as a football team should, doing okey, and then we fuck it up...Don't blame the manager for the players doing personal errors

[ronshirt]

I thought for much of the game we weren't that much worse than Sunderland. A lightweght midfield against a Fat Sam side was always going to be a gamble.

Miss Haversham, the transfer window is open. Time to ante up.

[Steve kirk]

19 league games without a win, another 18 league games to go before the agony is over, had enough of this fuckin shit, very upset tonight.

[sickbeggar]

Garde is done for. There's no way he can survive another 5 months of this and magically have the slate wiped clean. Not his fault at all, but he was badly advised coming here

Why does he persist with Guzan, why does he play Gestede at all?  I'm sorry Edvard, but he's been just as bad as Sherwood.  There's nothing you can point to and say "he's improved that."
