Swansea City v The Nearly Dead and Buried Aston Villa (R) Post-Match Thread

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

We want guzan out
Bradley guzan out
You just don't seem to understand
From teams prepared to fight
To players who are sh-te
We want Bradley guzan out.

Replace guzan with lescott, joleon lescott or richards, Micah Richards and any
Current Villa player.
I feel nothing for them because they embarrass my club, the claret and blue of Villa
and every single fan of AVFC

Same shit different week.

Well we're definitely fitter than when Sherwood was here.......

Really?
So we are fitter but are still bottom of the 'distance covered' tables (apparantly).

Out of touch with most but thought Rudy did OK today. Won loads of flick ons, all to nobody, and a couple of efforts on goal. Think he might be alright next season. Thought Sinclair might have come on, all our players are pretty crap but he seems to be less crap than most. Bought Bent to save us a while ago, what a bit of money on a decent striker in Jan might have done, seeing no one's pulled away from us despite 6 losses in a row. Still England Cricket, Rugby and the Villa.....in the words of Meatloaf, 2 out of 3 ain't bad

I thought he did ok too.

Guzan is gash

Rudi equitted himself well today and actually looked reasonably effective. Westy and Gil were poor. I think we really are shooting ourselves in the foot playing them half the time.

I would like to have seen Gardner given some games.

I take it you didn't see him today then?

No. Was he poor ?

Yes

At least Gil touched the ball.

He's woefully ineffective. He is a real trier and tirelessly shows for the ball but as I understand it his role is as creative attacking midfielder. When was the last time his involvement perpetuated any kind of attacking intent? What is his purpose?

[Allan C]

For me, it only emphasises how poor we are and how far we have fallen when Gestede was one of our "better" players. Quite possibly the worst player I've seen at the Villa along with the laughable Guzan. This against an equally shocking Swansea. It's just awful

[tomd2103]

I thought he did ok too.

If he's going to play then we at least need to play somewhat to his strengths.  We need someone running off his flick ons and plenty of crosses coming in to the box with players looking for knock downs.  We had very little of that today and Gestede was very isolated for long periods of the game.

I'm still not sold on him, but think he could be useful as an impact sub next season.

[Taylor]

We lost today because we have a joke of a goalkeeper. How many games has Guzan lost us? If I ever see that twat in a villa shirt again, it will be too soon.

[Toronto Villa]

I don't understand how Guzan has become this bad. I mean from a fundamentals stand point. The amount of mental errors he makes now, and really over the past two seasons is literally astonishing for someone who has been playing at this level and internationally for this length of time. It's not as if he had a Scott Carson moment to point to that started all of this. It just kind of happened and the mistakes are not even subtle, but often just glaring errors with disastrous consequences. He has to be one of the players to leave at the end of the season because its almost impossible to have any faith in him anymore. In fact, both Bunn and Guzan need to go. Either give Steer a shot, or ideally bring in someone completely new.

[villan from luton]

As woeful as Guzan was for the goal, great defending by Hutton to let the player get goal side of him.

I actually thought Gestede did ok, but the lack of pace alongside him was a joke. Gil looks good but where is the end product? Ayew I have lost respect for since that injury time booking at Norwich, he don't give a shit. Westwood was useless and Vertout likewise. Gana, my lad text me to say how well he was playing, I said he is ok till we are losing and proved right. Cissokho should have been off against a fast winger who was shit.

I think Garde needs to go now and put McDonald or Sid in charge for the rest of the season and give some of the kids a chance. We are down with these clowns and lets be honest, a few kids will at least give a stuff
