Fallen former football giant 0-6 Liverpool Post Match thread.

[LeeB]

I wholeheartedly agree with what Carragher said. Every word. We are a total and utter embarrassment of a club.

Me too, and he's not someone that has an axe to grind with us. It's just what it is.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Carragher has just said SSN that no other Premier League Manager would want a single player from Villa's Squad...I have said this all season... to a man not one of our players would get in an opposition eleven. Scandalous!

He can get fucked quite frankly

Carragher was reacting to what he saw on the pitch today. In that context he was correct.

He can still go fuck himself

He can bum his chum Stevie G.
A Cary Grant/Randolph Scott friendship if ever there was one.

Yep, he can, but he's still spot on though.

We have an owner with no previous experience of running a football club, who naively gave free reign to his first manager. We have recently appointed a Chairman who has no experience of running a football club.

Our current CEO has no previous experience of running a football club, neither did his predecessor.

In the summer we replaced our only proven Premiership footballers with mostly unproven players from another country. We had previously tried, unsuccessfully, the same principle with 'young and hungry (cheap)' players from lower leagues. We gave extended contracts to the remnants of those players, who were clearly not good enough, while failing to give contracts to some who were.

This time last year we replaced our incoherent manager, with a cockney chancer who had less than 6 months experience. A man ridiculed by both fans and press alike for his limited tactical ability. We've replaced him with a foreign manager with no previous experience of managing a Premier League club (never mind one in free fall).  Who they then failed to back.

I genuinely feel sorry for Remi, he's been let down by players he has no responsibility for and has been hung out to dry by those running the club.

It takes a special level of incompetence to do all this and lose close on £250m in the process.

Despite all of this, there is no excuse for what we witnessed today.

Many of the team today are not good enough (Bunn, Sinclair, Lescott, Westwood, Gil, Gabby, Clark, Richardson, Hutton, Guzan) we have a few players who are maybe good enough (Cissokho, Okore, Gana, Veretout) but I cannot forgive those players who not good enough and clearly do not give a fuck (Richards, Bacuna). The former is supposed to be the club captain.

Can we get that nutter bloke to wait outside the coach again and see if theres a reaction on the pitch?

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Not one of our players would guarantee a start in ny other team in the league. Carragher is right. Don't be blinded by the fact that he's a scouser.

That defeat today came from awful defending. Liverpool got into a great position not because they earned it, but because we gave it them. From 2/3-0 we gave up and 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' found it easier.

We don't help ourselves.

I don't think it will be enough.

Can somebody please explain why Doug sold AVFC to this American clown?

Wasn't that just the once in 1990?

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Can somebody please explain why Doug sold AVFC to this American clown?

Because at the time he genuinly thought he would be good for the future of our club.
After the first 3/4 years did any of us disagree ?

[nigel]

Just Fuck Off. Fuck Off right now.

This.
You've ruined our club, now f*ck off ASAP
Edit
And take Fox and the other incompetents with you

This is the worst defeat I have seen inflicted upon us at home. I missed the Woodcock bucket of goals game when Arsenal pummeled us. Well we have been filling the bucket ...no...skip full of shit for 5 seasons now and I think we can cover it up today. This humiliation is galling behind belief.

Absolutely. In my experience lots of managers in industry and elsewhere, including foootbsll talk a good game and appear stand up but ultimately lack either the experience or the balls to get things moving. Garde is one of these, for sure. Time for Nigel Pearce to come on board and control of player recruitment at AVFC given back to the manager. Maybe then it might be possible to salvage this Yankee fuck up

I agree that he's presiding over an absolute shambles at the moment, but we need to remind ourselves that, as Andy_Lochhead says, many of us believed in him and his vision for the club in those early years. We liked the fact that he appreciated the "proud history", that he supported the manager, that he smartened up the rather shabby appearance of the ground and that he supported local charities. Did anyone think Doug had got it wrong at the time?

Yet again - please keep nationality out of it.

Comes to something when the biggest Villa cheer of the day was when the opposition substitute came on.
