Aston Villa v Chelsea Post Match Thread

[David_Nab]

Chelsea if I herd right have won once away from home since xmas and have been beaten by Bournmouth and West Ham so they are hardly Liverpool or City !

Smith moaning about 5 subs when it was Chelsea's first couple that did the damage so hardly 5 subs really had nothing to do with it , if we have Smith 10 subs there would still be crap and have no impact

We didnt get anywhere near them in the first half hour after that early free kick. In truth, we didn't deserve too much out the game and I think he needs to make a few changes against Newcastle. Bring in Elmo, Tresequet, Nakamba and Samatta, it needs shaking up.

I can actually see us winning up there on Wednesday for some reason.

We should secure Callum O'Hare for next season. We'll need him.

It’s also noticeable that Brentford now look the real deal for promotion.  They’re slick in possession but they’ve cut out the silly lapses of concentration that used to cost them a lot of late goals.

Look, I’m as pissed off as everyone else. But Smith is going nowhere, and to to use this as a stick to beat him with is ridiculous. So Brentford have improved since Smith left them have they? Erm.....which team is currently playing in the top division?

You’re either the eternal optimist or you’ve been on the Thunderbird all afternoon.

Brentford HAVE improved since he left. Fact.  Villa being in the top division has absolutely nothing to do with Brentford.

Then Brentford have nothing to do with Villa, surely?

Smith would have been toast if this fixture and this performance had  been played back in March.
Today proved he has learnt nothing from the break.

[PeterWithesShin]

Had of?

[ChicagoLion]

Had of?

Fuck thanks for pointing that out, too long in the colonies

Ah the Rafa “Fact” argument. I stand corrected. Maybe we should sack Deano and poach whichever no mark is currently managing F***ing Brentford. That’ll fix it.

[ChicagoLion]

His game management is pathetic, unfortunately this is a huge part of the game and he has shown to be wanting time and time again.
I would say it’s impossible to be a success as a manager at this level if you can not manage your resources effectively.

Brentford are better now than when Dean left them.  Doesn't mean we appoint Thomas Frank or whatever his name is.  Brentford have a particular set up behind the scenes and that is tried and tested and seems to work well for them.  However, this is about Villa and Dean Smith.  I don't give a fuck about Brentford.  Dean Smith is out of his depth at Villa.

We did it once and thought it would work.  If Dean Smith had not been a Villa supporting Brummie he would not got in the top six applicants for the job.  It was an appointment based on sentiment.  There is no place for sentiment in the Premier League.

We all wanted it to work and it did work in division 2, sadly he is out of his depth and this has been apparent for a long time.
