It would have been refreshing to see him come on today though. He would have offered a lot more than Heskey, and we just looked horrible to watch when we went 4-5-1.

Has Houllier told GMac he isnt allowed to decide subs?!

Get Fonz on! we are playing a lot worse at 451! Back to 442 with Bent and Fonz!

I would love to be watching Bannan on BBC One right now - seeing him outclass Tarrababyat. Yet Pires is on the bench ahead of him? Not happy - especially after Bannan's comments this week about Houllier.

Good to see Delph on the bench, but no Bannan again which not to happy about. Would rather see Fonz up top with Bent, but this team is strong enough for a 3-1 victory today! Bent, Downing and Heskey for me

Well we all know GMac is a massive fan of BB, so he may get more game time here than he did at Leeds. BTW Outrageous that Kilkenny was starting ahead of Barry at Leeds! I thought Grayson has a bit of sense!

Didnt look happy on the bench!

Why do Villa clear for a throw instead of clearing upfield through the middle. We know what Sotke want, why do we just give it to them>!?

Bannan set up both of Leeds too.

Its a joke. If we win this, as things stand, we go 9th!

Opta stats: Aston Villa's only two away league wins this season have come against teams beginning with the letter W. Wishful.

Bench: Marshall, Pires, Makoun, Alby, Clark, Gabby, Cuellar Very strong bench!

Green, Jacobsen Da Costa Upson Bridge O'Neill Noble Hitz Obinha Cole Keane

From Collymore on Talksport: Friedel Walker, Dunne, Collins, Young, Downing, Petrov, Reo, Young Heskey Bent

I nearly had a heart attack when he made that 2 footer today!

Exactly what I thought!

Makoun has got to stop doing that! That could have easily been a red!

Just to further depress you all, if Wigan score, we are in the bottom 3. We NEED to get at least a point here.

I do feel for Houllier - he has seen our attacking line up and is trying to use them to his best ability. The more and more i think of it, the Players this week have all come out and supported Gerard. Not the management team, but Houllier. I still firmly believe that if McAllister went and someone a bit more like Houllier came in as an assistant, we would have some more character. It just seems that Houllier and McAllister are like Chalk and Cheese.

Yeah he is shiit, on the wing. Play him up front with Bent and you will see a whole different player. Its a managers job to get the players to play together. We have the talent to be top 6, its Houlliers job to get the best out of each player.

This is how much of a joke this is - we had 1 shot on target against the team who were bottom of the league, at home. That is surely enough to say bye bye Houllier

Absolutely fuming. How can he not sack him now? The longer Randy and the board keep this idiot in charge, the more and more fans they will lose. Simple.

General, Can you ask Gerard why Ashley Young takes all set pieces, when his accuracy from corners and free kicks is outrageous. So many times today again. Why isn't someone like Albrighton, who has an amazing cross on him, taking corners and free kicks? Then take off Albrighton, who is playing excellent, for someone who has OPENLY come out and said he doesn't want to play on the wing. Now I am not one of the few on here who loved MON, in fact I am glad to see the back of him, but at least he knew how to motivate a team. Gerard can not do that. Its blatantly obvious and we can all see it on the pitch. I understand you cannot come out and criticize the manager etc etc, but PLEASE sit down with Randy this week and seriously consider the manager. We are losing fans, losing matches, attendances are decreasing, revenue will start to decrease. If things carry on like this, I can bet you £10 that season ticket renewals will be a lot lower for next season, which has a huge impact on this team. People like Young, Downing and I imagine sooner or later Bent will become bored, dis-interested. But more importantly our youngsters will as well. Players like Albrighton, Bannan, Clark will see that too, and they will go. But can you really blame them. He has taken this club beyond a joke now. Yes the players are the ones who perform, but the buck stops with him. If that is the way the board want to go, then fair play but seriously, its the fans that pay the players and managers wages and some fans who have been going for 30+ years are losing interest. I live and breathe this club, and I will be there until the day I die. It hurts a lot to see this happening to the one thing in my life I will always love. Please do something General, because there are tens of thousands of fans hurting just as bad as I am.

The Fans.
