Aston Villa 0 Watford 1 Post Match Thread

Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.

[CT Villan]

Now the honeymoon period is well and truly over we can see nothing has really changed.

The ref was poor but not responsible for our garbage performance.

[Risso]

Sigh.

Looked OK without doing much first half. Did fuck all second half. I’m a fan of Gerrard but he’s made himself look daft and weak with his team changes comments, then doing fuck all about it.

Also, how many more times does he need telling that Ings and Watkins just does not work. At all.

[David_Nab]

Young at RB cost us the game, was awful at everything and lost his man for the goal. I can see why with Cash on a card and us wanting to attack it was an option but it cost us dear.

2 games lost against teams at bottom and pressure is on us now and SG. He needs to change things up.The CM isn't working to start with.It's also obvious that if you see deep we can play around you but with our full backs high we are susceptible to the break

very pissed off

I've been with my missus sixteen years and we were talking about how dross Villa have been in that time. I reckon we've had seven decent seasons in that 16 year spell - two were in the championship and four of them were in the first few seasons of.MON.

[Smirker]

BTW we do have good players.

Martinez
Konsa
Cash
Digne

Ramsey
Buendia
Coutinho
Bailey

Ings
Watkins

All need to stay.

Don’t think it was quite as bad as Newcastle, but Watford could’ve won that by 3 or 4. Pointless having all that possession if you haven’t got a fkn clue what to do with it in the final 3rd. Subs had me scratching my head a bit. I know Cash was in a yellow. But taking him off for Young? Plenty of effort from Villa, but no clue how to break Watford down. I think the booing at the end said it all really.

Conditions didn’t help but neither did one or two players and the tactics what were they?  11 individuals out there today

[Aldridge Villa]

The players are better than what they are currently showing. My gut feel is that there is something divisive draining the togetherness.

[Stu]

Not signing a DM in Jan has really fucked us. Then again, there doesn’t appear to be any plan in any case.

My Mrs tried to get me off villa when we got relegated! I'm well in my 40s and been reflecting a lot on how long we have been drifting aimlessly. Since 2001 in my opinion

Bring back the ketchup

[LukeJames]

Can't remember the last time we forced the opposition GK into a save, must have be 1st half against Leeds I suppose.

Cant even must up the enthusiasm to get wound up by it, the boredom has beaten me.

[pauliewalnuts]

I couldn't even tell what we were trying to do.

Luiz and McGinn both utterly shocking again.

Game after game playing with no midfield presence. I couldn't believe, after his comments earlier in the week, he went back to the same old shit as last time bar Ings for Watkins.

1 win in the last 8 is pathetic.

[N'ZMAV]

Aston Villa: it's the hope that kills you.
