Bournemouth vs Aston Villa match thread

[Villan82]

What is it about us that makes us so inconsistent?

[devilla]

I am allowed to say this is fucking awful yet?

Yes you are and I agree.

[eamonn]

It’s all smoke and mirrors our net spend is shit again.

Not spending enough is not something you can level at our owners. We have a far better squad than this lot but we lack character and bravery as usual.

A big slice of humble pie for Gerrard to eat with his half time cup of tea would be appropriate.

[caster troy]

Prediction - subs will improve us, Gerrard will say it's given him a lot to think about, next week same team.

[Rigadon]

The crossing is atrocious! 

[paul_e]

What's really weird here is that when we're on the ball we create a massive gap in the centre of the park.

[Nelly]

What is it about us that makes us so inconsistent?

Ineffectual players and tactics, I think.

[Proposition Joe]

I think we need to be 4-2-3-1 with McGinn not in the first XI. This 4-3-3 with very meat-and-two-veg tactics doesn't work.

[Deano's Mullet]

Well we seemed to improve in the second half of the friendlies and we need to do the same today.

[Sexual Ealing]

Three offsides in half an hour is criminal.

[Toronto Villa]

Ings doesn’t have the lung capacity to play this chase the long ball style. I fucking hate the chase the long ball style.

[Villan82]

What is it about us that makes us so inconsistent?

Ineffectual players and tactics, I think.

We have a whole pile of full internationals

I assumed it was another Adam Smith reference.

Gerrard is simply a chancer.
