Aston Villa v Chelsea Post-Match Drubbing

[Bottom Right 89]

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

Is there any reason why Riccardo Calder can't be called up? Now we're down we might as well give some games to people who are hungry and want to play for us.

I'm in total agreement with you. I don't buy the " We will affect the younger players if they are playing in a struggling side.

Right now we all know that the team needs a boost. Villa fans will get more excited by playing a few.

I know we probably can't, but it would good to be able to recall Gardner while he is actually fit and playing to see how he does.

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.

It's a shame he's so obviously not only past his peak but pretty much on his last legs. He never seems comfortable receiving the ball and gets rid of it as soon as he can. What I will say, chewing gum/new car incident apart, is at least he seems to care, tries his best, attempts to get the defence organised. People throw him in the same group as Tosspot Richards and Gabby but I don't think he's even close to that lot, it's not that he's not trying his best, it's that his best is no longer good enough.

Thought he would be OK in the Championship next season, but I think it would be best for all concerned if he took up the much mooted offer from the MLS if it is still on the table.  We will still need that experienced head who can organise though.

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.

I'd keep Hutton and Clark.

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

Cissokho is a total liability, his positioning is dire!

[SamTheMouse]

The full backs are shit, but they are made to look even shitter by the inability of any of the midfielders to spot when they make a forward run and move over to give them some cover for when we inevitably lose possession.

The individuals are all poor, but they are not playing as a team in any way, shape or form and that's the reason we look so utterly cack.

We urgently need to weed out the unprofessional individuals who are generating the bad feeeling in the squad. Replace them with some hard-working team players and you'd see an improvement overall, I think.

So who would you play at left back?

At this point I'd pick a team based on lack of cuntishness rather than ability.

Replace every reference to Newcastle, with Aston Villa and the True Geordie once again perfectly sums up how must of us feel about the Villa and it's current squad right now.

I was grimly nodding along in agreement at everything he said.

What he said about one player in your squad summing up your club, I'd apply to Gabby.
Used to be nifty. Used to attack with speed. Was rough around the edges and not quite good enough for the big time but on his day could roast the big boys, but has declined year upon year since 2010. Has become unfit for purpose and appears completely disinterested now. Gabby perfectly becomes the poster boy for gutless and heartless performances in this era of dire mis-management. Coasting. Trying to get away with the bare minimum. He shows so little care, which mirrors how little everyone in the higher echelons of the club appeared to care, like Randy, Fox etc.

Hopefully with the new board this will change, and one order of summer business will be to get rid of Flabby.

Cheers Supertom. "Leicester are winning the league and we are getting fucking relegated."

I was nodding in agreement.  Sigh.

Much as I despise Newcastle I can't help but always feel for the True Geordie when watching his vids, as week by week both clubs are normally similarly woeful and have been asking for it for years.
Plus it's funny when they have an especially bad result. At least I can have a chuckle at another clubs expense and temporarily forget about my own.

Would have to be N'Zogbia for me.

[OzVilla]

I love the True Geordie and yes the similarities are quite shocking.  How can two genuinely big clubs get themselves into this mess with so much prior notice.  Total incompetence, that's what.
