Bournemouth vs Aston Villa match thread

[Monty]

Still look too powder puff to me

Yes let's get three bodybuilders in there, they'll keep the ball for sure.

As ever, the problem is coaching and technique, not benchpressing ability.

[Rigadon]

Martinez has to play.  He is our best forward player and the only one who seems to be able to break extremely limited teams like this down. 

Hmmkay.

Ha!  Meant Buendia obvs...

[Gerrin]

Garbage
The treatment of AEG,Sanson and others is a disgrace and could come back to haunt him

Totally agree. Fair enough taking the captaincy off Mings, is acceptable, putting him on the bench against these is a disgrace. Is humiliating these players, whilst picking his favourites.

[Nii Lamptey]

some of you seem more keen for Gerrard to fail than for villa to succeed.

I'm sure we'd all like nothing more than for Gerrard to succeed with us, but has there been any evidence of progress since he joined, besides some eyebrow-raising signings?

Being realistic, the ONLY area he's improved us is in his pulling power to attract new signings. Have we improved AT ALL on the pitch since he joined?

He talks the talk about players being picked on merit, then makes one of the worst performers last season our captain (*and so far this season on current evidence)! He benches Chambers, our most in form CB, and doesn't even put Sanson in the squad despite outshining McGinn in pretty much every match he's got a chance to step onto the pitch.

Being this shit, with the quality we have, against a shitty little club like Bournemouth with Scott Parker in charge, is nowhere near good enough for the outlay of our owners. With those two lineups, this should finish as a cricket score... but we're clueless.

I am all for Gerrard, he has plenty of time in the bank to show he can do it.

Slightly concerned by the degree to which he talks the talk without ever really walking the walk.

Not sure how one of the greatest midfielders of recent generations manages to have us look like we've decided to forego having any midfield at all week after week, mind.

[Rigadon]

Shit.

[Bad English]

I am sure Stevie Sherwood will adjust his tactics at HT.

[Toronto Villa]

It doesn’t matter who our manager is we never seem to ever come out and dominate a game in the first half. And not just possession but clear cut chances, shots on goal. When was the last time?

What a fucking shit first half that was

Who said anything about lifting weights?

[mrfuse]

Back to having my weekend ruined. Fuck of Villa.

[cdbearsfan]

Okay. A repeat of the Watford opening game second half now will do...

[Goldie.7]

What's happening on the tablet?

lolz.

[pauliewalnuts]

Why do we keep having NO FUCKING MIDFIELD?

Where are they?

It's all down the left flank, short passes going nowhere and a big fucking void in the middle.

[Proposition Joe]

McGinn -> Luiz
Bundia -> Ramsey

Go 4231 in 2nd half.

Spurs at home last season was the last time I can remember.  And we all know how that fcuking ended!
