Aston Villa v Chelsea Post-Match Drubbing

[UK Redsox]

I thought that Gestede had a pretty good game, winning far more in the air than I've seen him win before.

The trouble was that most of the time there was no one anywhere near him to pick up the flick-ons / knock-downs.

It could also have been excellent tactics from Hiddink, letting Rudy win the ball and having his defenders just tidy up

[Pat McMahon]

Iipleat said after the game he thought Gestede had had a good first half

Just some random thoughts about yesterday: I actually think that yesterday's performance, despite the scoreline, was worse than the Liverpool match. Collectively there were more individual errors from our so called seasoned pro's than in the Liverpool game.  There also seemed to be a far greater degree of f**k you attitude from the players, and you would have thought that professional pride would have kicked in and prevented another trouncing, but no, a very average Chelsea team didn't need to get out of second gear and absolutely trounced us. Some (Grealish and Gestede excluded) are stealing a living as professional footballers. I would have put more effort in yesterday, and trust me I'm shit, nearly fifty, overweight with arthritic hips.

As for the team selection. I know Black is only a caretaker manager, but why even bring Richards back into the defence. He is crap! If you are going to suspend Gabby, then surely you've got to do the same with Richards?

I mentioned Gestede earlier. He must have won almost every headed challenge that came his way, yet there was no one close to him throughout. I'm no football manager, but for McGrath's sake get someone playing off his shoulder. It ain't rocket science.

As for the substitutions, they came far far too late to change anything, and by the time that they did I personally was hoping that he wouldn't so that those lazy, useless c**ts could feel the full force of the abuse that quite rightly was coming their way.

A more horrible bunch of players I have yet to come across.(Hodge and Callaghan included)

Loved the Lerner you coward banner. Summed it up nicely.

Had a thought about another name for the new manager list. Gary McAllister anyone? Had us playing some nice football in the tail end of the Houllier season.

It was weird watch your team get beat by goals from players called Lotus Bum-Cheek, Potato and one named after a donkey. If the guy accused of doping footballers ever went near Villa Park he would lose his customers overnight.

just watched the full game , I did not know the score .

I actually worked 12 hours yesterday and saw probably 50 football fans who did not even mention Villa , no ha ha to my face , I just thought they are not even bothered to take the piss out of me .

So I thought I would watch the game as I did not know the score . I actually thought Chavski with no Costa , Hazard , oscar , Will I am , Cahill and even the thug Terry we could get something out of this.

until I saw Blacks team and thought , the same old shite.

The match was summed up with Black bringing on Bacuna . Why ? 1 . he is shit 2. hes a c@@t who thinks hes better than he his . Bad move by Black , so he just reminds me of the kMac's of the world , so get rid of him please.

what a sad embarrassing state we are in.

It's fair to say Black failed the practical part of the interview.

On Sky Sports goals on Sunday, Kammy has just said something about the fans not turning up! They put the Lerner Ucoward show your face banner. One would think that Kammy would be able to join up the dots! Thick twat. To be fair, Ben Shephard was most sympathetic as he has a family of Villa fans. Darren Anderton, guest, was very balanced with his response. The players have to give the fans something to cheer about, make them WANT to turn up!

It was embarrassing seeing lescott come out second best to the lotus guy when he had about 3 yards on him. He couldn't even shield the ball from him. Ready for the knackers yard. Mugged off by the albion for sure. The number of bad decisions we've made over the past 5 years is astounding

Lescott was an unforgivable signing really by Tactics Timm. He was woeful against us in the cup last season and it was clear his legs and heart were gone.

Was wildly overrated anyway even at his peak. Decent athlete, way back, scored a decent number of goals. But was found out as a top level defender at City and England.

I said yesterday that I really would not care about keeping anyone from the current squad. Thinking about it now I would make an exception for Grealish.

It's a tough one, Amarvi is worth thinking about as well but on the whole I'd go for a purge by fire, get rid of all of them. The stench of failure won't go away from any of this lot.

I think there's something salvageable in a few of them.  The whole club is just so utterly awful right now I'd like to see what happens when the new board starts having an effect, the real waters are gone and a new manager comes in.  I'm talking about players like Okore, Vertout and Gueye.  Certainly Ayew.

That would ne my list. Dunno why people wanna keep Hutyon and Clark. Their dire.

Because they won't be the ones poisoning the dressing room and are Championship quality. Rome wasn't built in a day and we have bigger issues to face.

I'd keep Hutton and Clark.

In fact, by back 4 for the rest of the season would be Hutton, Okore, Clark and Cissokho.

I agree with this back four and I would make Clark captain

[CJ]

Won't be Hutton next week so it'll have to be either Richards or Bacuna at RB unfortunately

[class-of-82]

I would of handed most of them a bin liner at the end of the game and said go and pick those paper planes up
