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

[villan from luton]

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

I suspect you are not an old git Allan C lol

[Louzie0]

This, bumping along the bottom with no hope of ever getting to stay in the PL, shtick is difficult enough from a distance. What it must feel like for the away fans is unbelievably crap.

I just want to register my appreciation for everybody who was at Swansea, today.

You are absolute Heroes. It can't have been easy. UTV.

Ah, that would be the McDonald who was in charge at Spurs.

We have no pace in the side total no-one to take defenders on, how many times do we have to watch Hutton try to run past the full back? we have probably three players in that team that are worth holding on to and they will probably be the ones we sell at the end of the season. Gestede he may do better in the championship but he is not a premiership player if we are looking to the future.

I agree.

Please see the Remi Garde thread.

Gestede's first half performance was what you'd want from a centre forward of his height and build.

The problem is he has only delivered that about twice this season.

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

I reckon  that could work quite well to the tune of 'Achy Breaky Heart' by that Billy Ray Cyrus fella...

For what it's worth, I think the players really looked like they cared today. The first half was littered with decent bits of possession, chasing down, interceptions and half chances. The thing we are currently missing is the spark and unfortunately, I think our two most creative players are traore and grealish who are both out injured. You are hoping one of the others will step up to the plate but limited ability coupled with bad luck and a lack of confidence means it's becoming less likely and more of a surprise when it happens.



The best of the bunch were Lescott, Cissokho Clark and Gestede

I totally agree, whatever his reasons at the time, never again

Villa lost. How do you know? It's Saturday.

I've become so numb...

I wasn't thinking that last weekend

[garyshawsknee]

It's such a sad state of affairs when defeats become meaningless, I see a 1 goal defeat as a bonus.

[CT Villan]

Pretty uninspiring stuff...I don't think I have ever seen a team, en masse, walk so much during a game. Is that another record we have set this season.

Just think of all the money we could have raised for charity if these walks were sponsored.

Guzan you clown, and I might be in the minority here, but what does Veretout bring, to me he is the French version of Westwood without the pointing, says something when a 4 foot 6 midget runs the midfield ala Britton.

Gestede looked up for it first half it seemed to me that Williams had upset him early on, if that is the case someone should upset him before every game and again at half time.

Remi not looking good for your job prospects in the Midlands.
