Aston Villa 0 v Stoke 1 Post-Match Thread

[The Edge]

If Hause is injured does that we have no cover at all in central defence?  That's one area that still needs strengthening this window.

Reports coming out of Villa park suggest we have done all our business in this transfer window. I think a few of tonight's team will be moved on if we can find suitors.

Annoyed we didn't play a stronger team but Richarlison and Allan had to go off last night for Everton and we could do without similar injuries.

[Legion]

Who would buy them?

[Jonathan]

Our midfield was so poor tonight. Lansbury in particular was gutless with receiving the ball and then passing backwards or trying showboating long balls which were intercepted. He is a coward of a player who never looks to move the ball quickly forward. Our backup players are plainly not up to premier league standard and it was infuriating watching AEG wildly blasting shots over all night.

The single redeeming feature - will hopefully serve as a reminder that we are not yet capable or strong enough to field a second 11 anywhere near the quality needed.

All 10 can go (I’ll give Ramsey the one pass)

So you'd get rid of Traore after a couple of games?

He was certainly the biggest worry for me out there tonight
the rest I know what they are but Traore was supposedly the upgrade on the wingers

can’t judge him on that one performance but if you can’t shine against Stokes seconds then it’s not looking good when it comes to top teams in the prem

Please can we have the Aston Villa v Liverpool thread up soon as it's only on Sunday ...

We can forget all this now

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Hopefully we've got time to shift three or four of these out before the window closes!!

[sickbeggar]

Traore worries me. Odds on to be this summers dud. Hopefully the only one

So, you are judging him on one performance then?

Well I hope the prospective buyers weren’t watching

Did you read the fucking post

[PaulWinch again]

Pretty poor stuff. Shows reliance on the likes of Davis and Hause in the event of any injuries is a problem.

No, he isn't.

That was feeble tonight, especially after last week's promising display. Also, Stoke rested about 5 of their regulars so let's not pretend they put out their strongest line up. Bristol City beat them comfortably the other week.

If any of our starting eleven were in the shop window, then there won't be a mad rush.

Davis had a chance to show what he can do, but unfortunately didn't and showed why we need another forward, and if those are the kind of performances Traore throws in, then it is no wonder Lyon weren't fussed, so let's hope he can do a lot better.

After one game? Wow.
