The ghost of Timmy stalks this man.

He must be the biggest clown of the fucking year. When timmy makes better changes you know you're fucked

Just the latest in a long line of 'not me, guv' idiots.

Claudio Ranieri has a portrait of Eric Black in his attic.

The coincidence is stunning. 2-1 up at Leicester Sherwood brings on Ayew instead of Veretout for Gil. We lose 3-2. Today Veretout stays on the bench as Black brings on Sinclair instead for Gana. We lose 3-2.

I don't care what position Black has found himself in and the absolute crock of shit he has to work with but, that decision today showed ineptitude of the highest order.  That, and Sherwood's fuckuppery against Leicester are the worst examples of out and out stupidity I have ever known from ANY Villa manager in my lifetime.

[ozzjim]

No really we pay that fucking idiot to make decisions about football!

2-1 up with 10 men and he takes off a Gana and puts on Sinclair. Suicide, the man's a moron.

Gana was injured and a tiring Toner desperately needed cover ahead of him.

Crap and all that Sinclair is, he is more likely to put in a shift on the left than the work shy duo of Grealish and Veretout.

would have preferred moving to 441 after the red but I dont see any fault in taking off 2 x injured players

sinclair and bacuna on the pitch at the same time , will never work

Mentioned at half time and the same can be said after 95 minutes, wtf is the point of playing with wingbacks who don't cross the ball. Is it ever been a consideration to play to Gestede's strengths? I really have my doubts.

I couldn't fault the effort today but those were probably the easiest 3 points we've had all season and we still manage to shoot ourselves in the foot.

As for Black's subs, why bring on Sanchez and play him out of position. He's a defensive midfielder, ideally sitting in front of the defence but Black had him in a more advanced role on the right whilst Bacuna was dropped deep to watch players run past him. If he wanted a box to box player that can chase every ball, Vertout was sitting there behind him. Work shy he ain't, Bronte.

35 years?

[in exile]

Why wont he play Veretout?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Why wont he play Veretout?

According to Black, his pointing isn't up to much.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

no. not his pointing.......his grouting. His touting was OK though.

[Villa in Denmark]

Why wont he play Veretout?

According to Black, his pointing isn't up to much.

I don't give a shit if he's moonlighting as a builder. Mind you probably better fitness conditioning than at Bodymoor these days.
