Luton Town v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[brontebilly]

Seething and all that I am with that defeat, I cant help thinking that it is no harm it has happened now

Hutton, Okore and Gardner are all in the last year of their contracts, should be easy to shift or release like we did with Bennett

I'm glad all three got exposed for the last time tonight, they arent even capable of filling as backup players, neither is Cissokho who didnt need to play tonight to convince us he isnt anywhere near good enough either. Solid types like De Laat all day ahead of Hutton.

Micah Richards, captain fantastic, a fitting epitaph to his Villa career tonight, his appalling attitude spreads like a virus through the team, dressing room and club

Whatever it costs, he has to go asap for the good of the club

Wakeup call that we need an experienced powerful holding midfielder tonight, Tis has promise but hasnt a clue positionally. Westwood was actually missed but isnt the answer either, we will sink without that player coming in....

Green showed a few nice touches, got kicked a few times and then hid, harden up son

Grealish anonymous for most of it, finished ok for the last 20 mins or so

Ayew cant hold up the ball, running round in circles mostly maybe shift to right wing, Gestede seems to have lost the ability to head the ball

Baker is backup at best, tonight proved beyond doubt that we need to buy a new LCB to partner Elphick

Amavi went forward well in the second half I thought, defensively rubbish but Grealish didnt exactly help him out either

The bare minimum is giving 100% effort and I didn't see that, there was no pressing, tracking or anything.

We need to purge the club of these utter failures.

[Risso]

Words fail me. They were strolling around the first half like Luton were beneath them and it was a training game. Set of ******, Okore should be strung up the useless twat.

Actually thought we turned a corner after second half at weekend and first twenty mins tonight..score a goal, then err just fall to bits.
And when you are this bad, you don't get or deserve luck...hit the woodwork 3 times, bounces right off Jack to their centre forward for the second, Okore...well who knows what he was doing. Even the weekends goal was fortunate in the way is bounced off elphick.
I don't see many teams gifting us goals like that...

[john e]

we have just carried on from last season, none of tonight is De Matteo's fault but I'm not sure he's the man to sort this out
I don't know who can to be honest

[Brend'Watkins]

The signing of players who have some desire and fight is imperative. If that's Ledley and the Palace bloke then get it done.  And quick.

[PaulWinch again]

The only positive hopefully is that Dr Tony, RDM and everyone now sees what needs to be done.

[Lastfootstamper]

When will this fucking stop?

Now. It stops now. It has to.

New management, everyone gets a clean slate, it was the fair and correct thing to do, everyone gets their chance to attempt to right wrongs, to prove they are actually worthy of a shirt.

No more. I've listened on the radio, and to hear the same old shit mostly about the same old faces is infuriating.

I don't know how, and I don't much care, but bin the spineless, useless twunts NOW.

No leaders and the same core of awful players stinking the pitch out.

You want to get promoted then you must purge the side and squad of utter garbage like Hutton, Richards, Okore, Gardner and Gestede.

More mentally and physically tough players like Elphick, less headless, positionally confused shite like Richards.

Purge them with sword and fire.

[Tayls_7]

Merse has just said....You're playing For Aston Villa show a bit, show a bit.

Most showed nothing. Not nearly good enough.

When things aren't going your way you start with the basics. That includes fighting for every ball and giving your all as a collective unit until the tide turns. Not enough of this lot are either prepared to accept this or accept their own personal responsibility for our plight.

Ha ha. Just realised what I had been humming since

[andyh]

How in all the absurdity that is Aston Villa, does Micah Fucking Richards get picked, AND, get picked as fucking captain??

If RDM is already making ridiculous calls like this, it's not going to end well.

[pav]

Well RDM and Tony and anybody else to be honest will now know what a useless bunch he's got

[oldham_villa]

I'm hoping Tony resists the urge to tweet tonight.
