Luton Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[l_mckay]

Surely got to be the end of Bunn,Richards,Hutton,Gardner,knowhere near good enough to get Us out of this mess. At least the owner was there to see how crap we are. Need some leaders like Jedinak in the team and quick.

[Tony Erdington]

Well folks, we've hit a new low

oh were going to limbo a lot this season. too many with no Balls,

Grealish is a big "I AM" and tonight useless

[DaveD]

Is that the first time we've ever lost in the first round ?

Never mind, Sky presenter just answered my question - yes it is.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Can't we just gag and bind Okore, Hutton, Richards, Gestede, all these shit wankers and throw the c***s in the canal?

If we can't sell these players surely we have to bomb squad them. They really are cancers on the club.

Can't we just get rid of them? Just pay them off and fuck them off?

Has any club ever tried getting rid of a player based on the fact they're not doing their job properly?

[andyh]

We all know who the main culprits are.....Richards, Okore and even Hutton is going into rapid decline.
But the club needs to quickly realise that other squad players are no-where need good enough.
Gardner, Gestede, Baker and even Grealish are not the players we should be pinning our future on.

Infact, the squad is so poor, it's difficult to identify just who IS good enough.

You owe Ian Holloway an apology Mr Xia.  Your comments about him were disgusting and on that evidence his prediction was right.  This team is an utter disgrace to the shirt.

Bye.

Not been such a bad night after all.

[Hookeysmith]

I cannot believe plyers given chance after chance just get shitter.
okore and Richards positioning is worse than a pub side. Hutton absolutely shit. Ayew flatters to deceive.. Grealish a complete power.

fucking laughing stock

[PaulWinch again]

Well that was yet another fucking disgrace and embarrassment. But I'll pick out three observations amongst the wreckage -

- Hutton, Gestede, Okore, Richards, Baker and Gardner will never ever be good enough and should never play again.

- We have the most mentally weak side I've ever seen and something needs to be done to make them stronger.

- We need a midfield that actually protects the defence and doesn't just allow the opposition to run through.

Diabolical and massive work is needed.

[Bottom Right 89]

I swear we're cursed, we need an exorcist.Just stunned by that performance after ten minutes i was thinking we'll be 3 up by half time WTF happened? Did we just throw that match or are we just totally shit?

[Le Lapin]

Is the guy that scouted and recommended these players to our club still here? The scouting system has managed to accumulate the strangest collection of players I can ever remember in all my years of supporting Villa. The all have some talent, but not one of them has any fight. It seems to be a common trait. Its going to take a few seasons to undo all of this mess.

[He wears a magic hat]

On a positive note at least Richards performance has guaranteed he won't be in the side the weekend

My half time verdict from the match thread...

Started well, outclassed Luton, looked confident. Only one winner.
Scored, got casual, sloppy, vulnerable.
Conceded equaliser, shat our pants, lost all composure. Only one winner.

Nothing changed in the second half except we got even worse.

The thing is the mental weakness is visible even when we're on top. We should be absolutely busting a gut to finally, finally, finally get a win, but as Merson said at half time we took our foot off the gas.

We needed McCormack to stay on the pitch longer if he could have done, or get Elphick on so that one of those experienced leaders was on the pitch. I think Di Matteo has misjudged the depths of our mental fragility, hopefully this result doesn't make that too late, as hyperbolic as that sounds.

The slower we bring players in, the more effected players like Tshibola could become in the meantime. Losing games, losing confidence seems to be contagious.

[MonsXI]

When will this fucking stop?

[dorsetvillian]

Its difficult to believe how bad we can be. I'm just sick and tired of watching these f.....s go through the motions. Not one player was prepared to stand up and be counted
in that second half, against a team that we had completely dominated for 25mins. God knows if Rotherham go a goal upon Saturday.

[Five Villa Tattoos]

Just sitting at the station waiting to get home. That performance is right up there with the worst I have EVER seen. An absolute disgrace.
That should be the last games for us for most of that starting line up.😡
