Was one of best players in preseason , turned the game against United. Has done ok when starting but SG instance on trying to get Coutinho in team is leaving both Leon and Emi b sidelined , no wonder he wants out.Butler loves the attention clearly but he isn't wrong here and I bet others feel the same.

Also known as the Steve Bruce approach. Not only has he been given money , the money he has spent has gone on exp players.None of this buying potential the signings are here and now , well here and now we are useless.

Our "Tactics " Give it to Phil Give it to Phil to Give to Digne to cross

If Kloop left tomorrow would he take him at Liverpool ..no chance so jog on

Steve Bruce MK2 Can't coach Always needs another player Good for a quote

Winless and no goals so far , too lose to them them have Arsenal and City to play ..yeah West Ham is massive now

I'd love a manager to come here as a stepping stone to a so called bigger club , to do that he would need to be great with us .Every Manger we have had since I have supported us bar GT going to England as steped down after us ..

Not that I can see

I don't think you can play a 3 with Ramsey / McGinn to start with but having them on the wrong side for their stronger foot doesn't help ! Fundermentally as per pix above this isnt just about players it's the coaching and tactics .They are playing in the positions intstructed that's the key issue.

Frankly I find it unbelievable we are apparantly letting him spend more money after this shambles.He is Bruce MK2 buy buy buy . The mf 3 are a mess and for someone who played that position with some distinction how he can't see this I don't know.You can't play that 3 in those positions.McGinn is miles to deep to be effective long gone is the McGinn who gets forward and creates or scores .Now he is left sitting deep on the right side attempting to float balls cross pitch to Digne . Talking of I'm becoming more convinced he is not that much of a step up on Targett and for 25mip plus is he really the best LB we could of gotten ..great scouting . Ramsey great running with the ball ,hamped like McGinn being on the wrong side but the issue is in this formation you need mf calmer on ball. Defence all over the place ,Konsa is miles off his best perhaps coming back from injury too quickly ..Set pieces we look nevery as hell Under Smith we would ,especially post Jack go direct to Watkins running into a channel from a lump from Mings and here we are almost a year later and still doing it .What identity has SG put on this team exactly ..It you had been locked on a space station for a year with no news and came and watched this game you would have no clue we had changed manger And what is the answer to these crap performances ..here you go Stevie here is another 25 mil for an attacker of the known quantity .See here is the thing - we ditched the young and up and coming transfers for known exp pro's ,when you do that you do it for instant results .Which we are not getting so just how long to we persist with this ? I don't see any points from the next three games so leaving him a record of 3 wins in 16 if I'm not mistaken ,( against 2 sides no longer in the league and Everton)

So we lose to Bournmouth and Palace mostly due to an inffectional ( and imo poorly coached ) Mf and the answer is 25 mil on another attacker .. I guess this is so when we punt it to Watkins someone might be closer to him because that's pretty much out one tactic

If he is talking about Gabby gets him to avoid the 4 point cushion City have on him and his new Star striker headbutting a player and getting a Red on his debut .It's deflection from Klopp. Also if your in a team that got batterd 6 nil and were useless you probably are an expect in not putting in a shift and know the signs .. Generally I find Gabby a nob but Klopp is also a huge bellend most of the time

Sadiq is going Villareal Depay Juventus

Beckham did it and came back and played for a few more years , Hudson-Odoi also suffered it recently. Closer to home Benteke did it and came back though arguably was never quite the same. Futher back 2 players who suffered it Neil Webb ( Carried on but career nose dived afterwords ) and John Barnes ( never got his pace back ) Quote I've seen today is 7-9 months out

Onana

In terms of time needed ,in SG case we have a direct comparrison with Howe as both took over clubs at about the same time and Howe's results and performances are miles ahead of SG. So yes time is required but after 9 months ,2 windows and a preseason you should see something but with 4 of his own players making up the starting 11 now we look no different then the end of DS time. We played alot of long balls Saturday so either that's his direction or the players are not listening either way it's not a good reflection on him.

Poch I can't see why he wouldn't come if he was still jobless and we needed a manager .None of the top UK jobs are available so why wouldn't be come to us with rich owners and no doubt a good salary .Wouldn't it be better to be doing a good job somewhere of one of the so called big jobs came up .If that means we are a stepping stone so be it because if a manager of us is doing well enough to be poached it means we are winning games !! Rodgers probably more likely especially given Leicester seemingly are broke . Everton is must win for SG imo but to be honest as a villa fan since 1990 I've seen enough times when the writings on the wall and I don't see SG here much longer.

Indeed ..

Wanted him to do well ,it started ok but in the last 13 games we have only beaten Burnley and Norwich ! He can talk about Europe all he wants but what's on the pitch isn't backing those comments up. I've the same vibes I had near the end of Smith .He has 10 games at most to turn it around or he will be gone and of I was owners I would be questioning Purslow as well

I'll be honest , beating Norwich saturday and getting to 40 points I'll feel alot more relaxed

They will be paying a loan fee or wages or ideally both ...we are not going to be loaning him to do them a favour

Poor bastard been used as a smoke screen for this deal the whole time

Was his comment about former players thinking they can just walk into management aimed at Dwight .... Anyway good interview , feeling positive about the next game now

it's not that they don't get poached they go on to do sod all elsewhere ...just in recent times Garde , Sherwood , Lambert , Mcleish
