Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Brightwell Bros.]

Erm it might be for our new fans who came along when we started winning stuff but a lot of us lived through shit like this and worse for over thirty years. Never in my worst nightmares given where we climbed too did I ever think we would drop to this level ever again.

You never thought that the squad would need a rebuild and we might have to go without Champions League football for a season or two? Seriously?

 

[kunaguero10]

I doubt that. We would have been totally humilated if that was the case. 8-1 springs to mind. All our key players are either injured and out of form too.

You’ve got your head in the sand if you think this isn’t an attitude issue too

Going to be pretty funny watching the club try to sell £70 conference league tickets.

That’s if we finish high enough to even qualify for it, and yes I’m being deadly serious.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I chose my words, he needs fucking off, not just replacing, been an absolute great player for us, his performances have nose dived, he's never fit and won't regain his past greatness.

You are the one who needs to do that!!!!
I wonder how you’d feel if your job ended by you getting older and people abusing you and saying you should **** off?
Give it a rest and respect a player who has worked hard for us.

 

[Roachy]

Hard to argue with that.
Players should be running through bricks walls for a manager that’s given them everything.
Especially now when he needs them most.

Well if we're getting to the nitty gritty of things we need to ask why they aren't. I'm seeing things on the pitch now that aren't due to injuries or previous season feats.

Forget the stats, Did we test their keeper today Did he have to make a save,

 

[Dereck Jeffries 3 wd]

Can't be worse or slower than Gundo who desperately needs to rest.

Sorry guys it’s broken record here again. We will keep on getting beat with two many small weak players in midfield ( and too many injured defenders) Gundo,Silva and Rico. Try the youngsters Wright and Nico!

 

[Blue2202]

Whenever a game starts and I see Rico roaming around midfield and not at full back, my heart sinks .

Combined with passenger gundogan in there too it’s like mixing water with electric… never going to end well.

Maybe a reality check for a number of individuals at the club ?

I doubt that many( apart from the many BM experts/ knowalls that is ) anticipated this episode coming as drastically and lengthy as it has been.

Hopefully in the short term, a couple of signing in January to reinforce the squad allied to fitness levels improving for those unable to play a real part atm.

I think a steady return rather than a spectacular one, and things will start to look better.

There are games coming up which need to be won for the picture to look differently.
