Gabby has been piss poor today.

no suprise there - one decent game a season

So, that's still to come then?

Gabby has been piss poor today.

Could copy and paste from pretty much every match thread of the last 3 seasons.

[JUAN PABLO]

Remi has to take some blame here You don't out players for not having any commitment and then start them two days later

and Bacuna is still on ..

[RonBurgundy]

Look at the quality on the Stoke bench that's coming on.
The. Stoke. Bench.

[Pete3206]

Can anyone offer any ideas for why Bacuna is still on the pitch

No fucking idea. I hate him. I really hate him. I have never seen a more spineless twat in a Villa shirt.

If you are going to call players out for lack of effort on the pitch and in training you then punish them by dropping them. Not send them back out again. This is another balls up.

ha , yep true - I was think the goal he scored against Norwich . half decent

Watching the game on hdfree.tv on my pc, looks just a question of time before the next goal. Bacuna, Gana fucking gutless excuse for footballers, if I was on anti depressants, these B'tards would have caused me to take the Fking lot!!!

[aj2k77]

Any sign that Garde is awake on the touchline?

[Toronto Villa]

Just hideous in every capacity. This was always going to be how the game ended up. And we aren't in March yet so a lot more of this garbage to come. I might even take a trip to the hospital and ask to be induced into a coma with instructions to wake me up in June.

hard to disagree with this.
Remi has got to show the balls to have the courage of his convictions.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Cissokho is now showing the type of form that got him sent out on loan.

[shipscat]

I think we all accept some of them lack quality, but the lack of commitment and effort is unforgivable.Add to that,we are mentally brittle to the point of collapse upon conceding.

We get it in the stands,it's not all your fault and the majority are physically trying,but adversity seems to be suffocating.How did they make it amongst all the other kids...with drive,determination and a belief in themselves.Could we just try and find a dose.

Let's see Andre please Remi...maybe it'll stroke a little positivity

I don't think he knows what to do
