Aston 'where will it all end' Villa v Middlesvilla Post Match Thread.

[passport1]

We have a perfect illustration of how a top coach and a dullard react to the opposition going down to 10 men this week. Guardiola goes for the jugular and his team scores 5. Our doofus decides to stick with his defensive midfielder and waits until half time  instead of getting at them immediately before they have a chance to reorganise.

'You can't legislate for chances like that.  At this level you have to take your chances otherwise you can be punished.  Thankfully we haven't tonight.  I thought Henris red card looked very harsh.  We were in control and that changes it. It's great that we've managed to keep another clean sheet.  I've said it before but we are the big scalp in this league. We've not been beaten and Middlesbrough will right up there at the end of the season.'

Says it all. What is he talking about?!?!

Did anyone see the Bill Belichick interview after the Patriots lost their first game to the Chiefs - in short "there is nothing to talk about because we were pretty much terrible in everything we did tonight" - his reaction was spot on and this from a born winner managing one of the greatest dynasties in sport.

The difference between these two coaches is night and day - one is a winner, and the other is not. No prizes for guessing which we have.

Spot on.

I'm a Patriots fan and that was a desperately disappointing, if not embarrassing  performance, particularly live at home on national TV, when everyone wants you to lose, but at least when you see that kind of honesty you have faith that the guy knows what is wrong and how to fix it. Something we've not seen in a Villa manager in a long time.

We've been total dog shit for a long old time but we still have the draw (excuse the pun)at this club and I believe we could tempt a lot of good managers in jobs to this football club. Get rid

I agree. Should have changed it very early on

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Did RDM get sacked for worse? Not so sure...

Check the 'who will replace Bruce' thread. It's sobering

[Steve kirk]

I'm just so gutted by this shit storm that just wont stop, I hardly watch any other football these days Villa have destroyed me, I've got a feeling another 0-0 will follow at Barnsley, how fuckin exciting.

We should have won that. The chances we wasted were mind blowing second half.

Boro were worse when we had 10 men.

Christ we should have burried them.

That tells you everything you need to know. He's happy with that result. 'We've not been beaten' is not good enough Steve and will never be at home in this league.

Waiting until half time is fucking criminal that said, he shouldn't be starting with that fucking team from the off. The Icelandic guy, is piss poor let's not beat around the bush, he is one of the worst I've seen in 35 years. He makes Daruisz Kubicki look like Cafu. He doesn't play Adomah who was responsible for, what, 10 assists last year? And plays that joker in front of him, it's fucking embrassing. Keinan Davis is a good kid, but we have a £15m centre forward on the bench and a £12m forward who can't bet a place on that bench. The whole thing is a shit storm.

In Roman times our manager would have been referred to as 'tacticus inepticus'.... these days he's just plain crap.

Fake news

[XXVilla]

Only Johnstone Taylor and Terry good enough of the players Bruce has signed. That really is a samning indictment considering how many players he's bright in.

How grim, I knew he would mention the clean sheet....they had 10 players after 5 minutes Steve, you inept ball bag.

[QuintonVilla]

If we'd have gone down to 10 men after 4 minutes we all know we'd have lost comfortably. That's the difference.
