Gabby as a lone striker not too good ..he is much better pulling out wide as a support striker. We have looked ok shame for Clark bit of rustyness there for the tug.Ireland was doing ok few nice passes and you can see him supporting well in the box desperately needs a run of games.Barry will bring some nice passing into the game but I think Gabby is going to find himself even more isolated in the box now. Nzog playing well and Hutton even put in a few decent challengers and him and Albrighton doing ok together down the right.

We looked better ,as in we had some possession of the ball because once they had their goals they just sat back and waited for our slow as shit attacks then hit us on the counter and should have scored one more than one occasion.

Another depressing throught ..watching 3 lives games and seeing 4 ex players playing and thier teams win..or currently winning ... £73mil pounds of talent ..

Well I don't see this ending well ...

Shocking the only way we swill stay up his Gabby using his pace to get goals and assists

Delph was bad but Bannan was hardly much better.Both giving the ball away easily. End of the day roughly speaking Downing and Carroll cost as much as our entire team and bench ...we expect more but **** knows we have been stripped to the bare bones.

Getting battered at the moment how its only 2 right now ..could be 4 or 5

Looking at the second goal Dunne seems to be at fault there ...

Nzog and Fonz doing well and they not been too much a threat in open play its the set piece's again killing us.What the hell do they work on in training been the same all season and last under Houllier !!!

ESPN showed Bent running from defender to defender trying to get the ball as they passed it around whilst having no other player help him just sitting back waiting for the ball to be played forward by Man U.The tactics where all wrong AMC has no clue.Hernandez went off and Man U changed shape and we were all over the place with no direction. Bent has scored goals everywhere now they have dried up and AMC is the one to blame for that.

It's gona take a major turn around for him to stay now..and the next run of games are hardly going to help him. My worry is who the hell would we get to replace him ...

Been watching the Fulham v Liverpool game for last 30 mins or so and I don't think I have seen either keeper just wack the ball upfield..we do this every time the ball goes to Given ...No wonder his bloody hamstring has gone. He has to go for me we are awful.Bent has scored goals at everyclub at the moment its an achievement to have the ball passed to his feet.Beyond AMC the rest of the club needs to be looked at for instance our transfer policy is a shambles.We lose players and don't replace them ,we don't unearth any gems from abroad or the lower leagues.The wages are shocking for what we have who authorised that ....and managerial appoitments the last 2 have been shocking as has the selection process. I throught the Taylor second spell was low or the end of DOL but I would say right now things are far more desperate.

We got some tough games coming up and I can't see us getting anything from them. We have 2 tatics 1)Lump it forward for a knock down 2)Use Gabbys pace to beat a full back and cross Easily nulified and we are left looking clueless.Much was made of this being out biggest attendance of the season on ESPN but what wasn't mentioned was the ticket price cutting to get people in and after tonights game I highly doubt that will be enough to attract people to Arsenal or Liverpool. Lerner and Faulkner can give us all the PR crap they want but dropping gates ,uninspired performances ,negative fan reaction and media criticism is going to force thier hand and deal with the consequences of ignoring the fans right from the start who have proved to be 100% right in what the outcome of appointing AMC would be.

McLiesh is truely inept ..pointing to the fact Heskey coming on won some headers as a positive completely discounts the fact with a 5 man midfield we couldn't pass to save our lives. Utterly depressing to be Villa fan at the moment.

How he can say with a straight face we did better in the second half ....

Crap Embarassing to watch and looks like 2 serious injuries. Depressing times to be a Villa fan...Lerner and Faulkner clearly know sod all about football and can bugger off with AM.

I'm with you Pete is just embarressing watching us at the moment.Even £26 tickets isn't low enough for me to watch that utter shite.

Utter tripe No ability on the ball the team looks like they have just met each other.They are all over the show just as like the Spurs game.The pundits on ESPN are saying exactly the same its embarrassing.

I'd like to ask Given in his entire Career has he ever been asked to just constantly go long with the ball comes to him... We are abysmal

75% to them ...what a surprise .. A **** under 5 team could control the ball better than us

**** useless again

**** hell we have one tactic ..hit it long to heskey its embarrassing

It's bad now I can only imagine that Swansea are going to make us just as shit on Sunday.

Shocking all round ..us not holding onto the ball is nothing new its been a problem since MON but **** me this is beyond a joke.

I agree Fellani and Rodwell bullied the midfield which led to us releasing the ball too early at times. Cahill held the ball up much better than Bent who looked far from fit.
