Aston Villa 0-3 Swansea City Post Match Thread

[London Villan]

We have it done to us all the time.

[Mister E]

The players today that pissed me off no end were Hogan, Bree and Adomah. Hogan simply ain’t good enough; Bree was timid and his distribution was shocking; Adomah has no brain - his decision-making is piss-poor.
Players getting a pass from me today were O’Hare, McGinn and - surprisingly - Lansbury.

Smith needs to prove his capability, and fast.

Lansbury could be a serial killer, he's still a better option than plodder Whelan.

Re: the crowd. Never in a million years there was only 30k there. Looked about 37k to me. Sounded like there were about 7k there, dreadful atmosphere. I know the football was crap but our home support is piss poor, we only sing against Blues or if we're winning 4-0.
Saw a lot on Twitter on about the atmosphere and how crap it is these days. It needs something drastic like making the lower Holte £250 season tickets and getting 8k in there who want to stand and sing every game. The Holte is a shadow of it's former self, dont think I heard a proper chant all game.

Considering the size of the last two crowds at Villa Park (Not a chance it was just 30k today), the atmosphere has been absolutely dead.

You can hear the players shouting and calling to each other, it's that quiet.

...and the bloke in front of me smells.

He made me chuckle. He went to deck a Swansea player too.

I like him. The booking he got wasn't a problem, taking one for the team.

He deserves to start at Wigan. He moves the ball decades quicker than Whelan. We need that to feed the wide men.

Agree. He’s got to be in the side instead of Whelan.

It's been dead all season apart from Blues, and even that was very quiet in spells. We sold out Smith's first game and it was crap. Sold out against Leeds and it was crap.

We pull in the numbers but have one of the worst atmospheres in the league. The away support isn't what it used to be either. Took 5k to Preston and stood in silence for large periods of the game. Modern football. Stands are full of twats who are more interested in vlogging for YouTube and recording themselves watching the match.

Too true. I'm sick to the back teeth of all the amateur pundits giving a running commentary on the match rather than singing.

For me the sad thing about today was seeing lots of youngsters at Villa Park, many possibly for the first time being disappointed by the experience both on and off the park - for many the highlight was probably the half time or pre match chips and fizzy drink
The atmosphere was again very poor - could all have been so different if we had put away the opportunity in the first attack we had

[itmustbe_it is!]

I'm 50 and the highlight for me was the pre-match chips and curry sauce and bottle of lager !

Nice one I'm older than thee and my highlight was the Balti pie and chips at  Alibaba Kebab House Church Road, Aston ( so not even inside the ground!)

Just got back to Liverpool .Would just like to thank the spineless (McGinn the exception) bunch of players wearing the Villa shirts for a performance totally lacking in commitment ,passion and desire. Yet another defeat at home in a cup tie,i honestly do not know why i make the effort when the players can not be bothered to

Pause for a minute and imagine today’s team without McGinn. We’d get thumped by any half decent team and probably be bothering the relegation places.

Maybe that’s why Smith played him when he needs a break. Feared an embarrassing drubbing at home (which he got anyway).

The saving grace for us living in the North West was that the M6 was relatively quiet  today ( not many lorries)
