Aston Villa 0 Watford 1 Post Match Thread

[Matt C]

I think all three subs made us worse which took some doing.

[Deano's Mullet]

Small Heath revel in being utter shit as part of their identity. As a Villa fan being shit it does my bloody head in.

[Scott Nielsen]

BTW we do have good players.

Martinez
Konsa
Cash
Digne

Ramsey
Buendia
Coutinho
Bailey

Ings
Watkins

All need to stay.

They are demonstrably not all that good. If they were, Smith would still be here and people would not be calling for the replacement manager's head.

[TonyD]

SG and the whole management team need to be sacked tonight.

They haven’t a fuckin clue. 

Absolute chancers. 

Ridiculous comment, I know were all disappointed but we've got to give them a decent chance at it.

Really did you see the three of them just looking lost during the last few mins.
Take the first few wins out of the equation - i.e. the new manager bounce and we are in relegation form.
We can all see the midfield is a car crash but he keeps on crashing.
I have zero faith they know how to change this.

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

What conditions?

[Nev]

Hiding in the dugout? The fucking coward.

[Bad English]

I'm really looking forward to Steven Gerrard's post-match comments.

[DB]

Awful. Worst I have seen us play at VP in a long time. Watford did what they set out to do. We were clueless.

[Astnor]

Havent seen us so bad for years and it has been going in the wrong direction last games. Hope and think we will stay up and have another go next season, Its up to Gerrard to turn it around this season.

[PhilVill]

Genuinely hope the media make Gerrard look an absolute bell end for his comments last Sunday and then doing next to nothing. Something seems very wrong behind the scenes at the moment, yet again. Piss poor and can't see it getting any better. Will be delighted to scrape 40 points but don't bet on it

[ursineultra]

I wish Gerrard would stop sulking looking at his mate's laptop once in a while and at least pretend to get into the players a bit. Just like last week, once the 'plan' doesn't work, that seems to be that. Truly awful. Again.

[Proposition Joe]

Depressing.

Does every other club have these shite spells every single season but we just don't notice?

I am in a filthy mood.

As long as I've followed the villa, even in good years in the 90s when we would look like we could challenge for the title, you would get this feeling about us not fancying it when the going got tough. I don't know what it is. It is very depressing.

I have no doubt that Gerrard has a winning mentality.
I have no doubt the coaches have a winning mentality.
I have no doubt the owners have a winning mentality.
I even have no doubt the players have a winning mentality - you don't make it this level if you don't.
But Aston Villa the entity has no winning mentality, and probably never will in my lifetime. The personnel come and go, but Aston Villa will always be a bottle it club.

[four fornicholl]

Didn't lay a glove on them for the whole game.

Wonder who the moaners will pile in on now?

JJ

who would you like to single out for specific praise?

[Jon Crofts]

Here’s how this plays out.

We’ll finish 14th this season.
A few players will leave.
Gerrard gets a pre season and a window and spends a lot.
Gerrard is sacked by Christmas latest and we go again.
Pitiful state of affairs.

[saint13]

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.

Unfortunately, I don't rate either of them, We need an upgrade on both.
