Aston Villa 2 Sheffield United 2 Merry bloody Xmas Post Match thread.

[cdward]

Why can't we put teams away?
After 10 minutes and 2-0 up I was hoping tonight's game was the turning point in our season, but no, same old Villa.
We are going to be left behind soon if we don't start picking up more points.
We lose to the teams above us, and only manage draws with those around us.

80 minutes of garbage

[QuintonVilla]

Still can't beat anyone who is even remotely decent. We won't win a game this month because none of them are shit.

The football we play is boring and one-dimensional and we create nothing in open play.

The likes of Whelan and Snodgrass are old and past it and there's zero pace in our side.

Grealish is shit. A few fancy flicks and passes but no substance and doesn't influence the game.

We are a million miles away from promotion and if we did go up it would be embarrassing.

Bruce has killed any atmosphere and for me you can sense that the fans haven't taken to him really. After Sheff Utd got their first goal the atmosphere was dreadful because we all knew what was coming. The style of play does nothing to excite or get people off their seats.

Bruce is going nowhere. We need John Terry back.

[Smirker]

Nine points off autos, it's doable.

But if the gap gets any bigger we are really going to struggle to close it.

A lot of football to be played.

I can see Bruce gone by the New Year and Terry as interim player manager

[Bad English]

A lot of football to be played.

Yes. It would be nice if we joined in and played some.

[Clampy]

Disapointed with the result more than the performance. We shot ourselves in the foot letting them back into it as early as we did and you could see them scoring everytime they broke in that first half. Second half was better and the ref definatley bottled the second yellow but 2-0 up, you should be going on to win.

[clash city rocker]

Not good enough.

Started well, but regressed back to the kind of disjointed rubbish we have seen too often as soon as they scored their first.  His goal apart, Jedinak had an awful game and looked half-hearted at times.  Really disappointing stuff. 

On another note, does anyone on here sit towards the front of R5 in the lower North Stand?  Seemed to be a bit of trouble there, which at one point looked like it was getting a bit out of hand.

Einstein said definition of insanity is doing repeatidly the same thing and expecting different results.

He keeps taking Snodgrass off as he is contributing nothing and then next game first name on the sheet.

IT'S NOT FUCKING WORKING SO STOP TRYING IT

Where are the kids, at least on the bench but he decides to have 2 full backs instead. I accept that both goals the manager is not on the pitch to stop them but once in the dressing room is his time to change things and so often they are worse.
MON was always criticised for having no plan B  wish this clown had a plan A

He's got to go

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

our most dangerous weapon today was Elmohamady on the overlap
If Id know Hogan was going to come on I would of caught the last train to sheffield...and I don't even live there
It's game over whenever he comes on to the pitch.
Jack had loads of ball but didn't a lot with it.
Jedi had a nightmare, but the only other option was tommy elphick.

[dave shelley]

Just back and haven't yet read the thread but, oh dear.  I read this every week and think to myself it can't be as bad as they're all saying, it is, seen it for myself now.  I actually felt sorry for the ball. 

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Not good enough!!!
Forget auto promotion, we'll be lucky to cling onto the playoffs.
Snoddy subbed after 59 but I bet he'll start the next game.
Anyone relying on Gabby even for 15 mins is in cloud cuckoo land.
qv having another subtle pop at the home Villa support is so transparent!
Cardiff losing is a positive but more so for Derby than for us!
Merry Christmas Villa fans!
