Aston Villa vs Sandwell Match Thread

Yep, Kalinic is wholly unconvincing.

That's admirably generous of you hilts. I'd have said he's utterly shite. He certainly ain't alone, mind...

[pauliewalnuts]

They are a better side than we are.

The problem is so is everyone else, pretty much.

[IFWaters]

Could the owners offer Mourinho a few million just to sort this out for 13 games or whatever it is left ? Got to be worth a gamble ... even Southgate if he's not busy roaming the hills with Bear Grylls ?

There is something wrong with Kalinic, he looked dazed.

[Steve67]

We look rudderless and hoping for something to come off, rather than doing the basics and sticking to a plan as the stripeys have done.

Too many individuals making mistakes and nowhere near enough leadership throughout the side.  No-one out there dishing out bollockings when they are deserved.  No-one out there dishing out the orders to organise the side either.  Smith needs time to make so many changes but I am very fast running out of patience.

Afraid the goalkeeper is poor, can’t kick and concedes easily.

He did get a knock to the head earlier.  But he's been pretty ropey from day one.

Perhaps reality has hit him at last.  'Fucking hell, I should have stayed where I was".

[Brend'Watkins]

It would help if we had 11 on the pitch. Hourihane doesn’t count.

[IFWaters]

Or Zidane for a few months to familiarise himself with the country ?

He did get a knock to the head at his Christening .

Mings seemed the only one dishing any bollockings out.  A bloke that's been here a couple of weeks and isn't even our player being the only one with any fire is pretty damning.

[Villa in Denmark]

Steer on for Kalinic. Presume our Croat friend is injured.

Great idea regarding Southgate. He'd be mad not to jettison his impressive In-ger-lund career to take on a total basket-case.

[Risso]

Somehow we always have the worst keepers, the worst everything.

Amavi shit
Veretout Shit
Gollini to Kalinic shit
Ghana shit

Yet when they play elsewhere they are good.... But let us get scapegoats.

Did you miss Kalinic letting it squirm through his hands and almost chucking it into his own net?  He's shit.

In his 8 games for us, he's conceded 15 goals.  He's as much at fault for the shit show in defence as everybody else.
