The moaning in here :shock:

Well this hasnt gone well has it?

Wow, some of the opinions in here are scary.

Be it writing off Makoun after 7 games or saying he is not a Premier League type of player. The fact that we aren't basing our team around a player like Makoun is why we have been unable to break down rubbish teams at home consistently. Flair players or midfielders who are able to pick a pass are as rare around VP as a fan who doesn't moan.

I kind of forgot the OS existed or tried to anyway.

Our OS really is one of the worst in the Premier League.

I just dont think he'll ever be first choice at any point this season so I cant see him getting a good run of games. Barring an injury to Delph.

How much did O'neill pay for him? Wasn't it 6 million rising to 8 million? You don't pay that much money for an 18 year old unless you believe he could be very special.

O'Neill would pay 8m for a one-legged guy off the street so long as he was British. That doesnt prove a thing.

I actually agree that Delph could be top class but that's not a good argument.

It's a shocking attendance which is obviously down to the controversial appointment.

If people dont want to turn up because they refuse to give a manager a chance from day one then I'm glad they werent in VP today. Good riddance.

Support the team and the manager or piss off.

Recession + star players leaving + low expectations = Low attendances

Percentage of this being McLeish's fault = 0%

Stuck it to the haters in this game. Very good performance.

His tackling scares me though. Paul Scholes the second.

Excellent professional performance against a woeful team.

Gabby - Outstanding goal.

Heskey -

Great to see Bent score.

Delph looked very good.

BENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

How the hell did Gabby get penalised there?

"RUBBISH TEAM SELECTION, RUBBISH MANAGER"

Hopefully these idiots will shut their idiotic mouths now.

HESKEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I've just come.

Same bench too.. what happened to Rotation and giving players chances?

It's the second game of the season ffs.

All this **** negativity and we're 45 minutes from kick-off. Utter joke.

This is so utterly incomprehensible and ridiculous that its probably true.

I'm confident we'll do these comfortably today.

I'll be very disappointed if he doesnt start this weekend. Ball-playing midfielders are like gold dust in the Premier League, never mind here at Villa.

Promising return to the side. Fantastic run and ball into Bent in the second half also.

A couple of poor Hollywood balls aside, I think, he did well on Saturday and should really have scored of Zog's great cross.

I think he will be much more influential in the next two games. The crowd will see to that.

Excellent debut. Dealt with everything well, made some good saves.

Great signing.

It's so nice that we finally have a midfielder who can shoot from open play.

What about Angel? Had we of got shot of him after his dreadful 02-03 season we would have missed out on his 20 goal 03-04 year.

If after a couple of months he is still poor then slag him off but new manager and a clean slate. Lets see what happens.
