    Second half was League One standard football. Sanson was named on the team sheet, but I'm not at all convinced that he even exists - hard to get rid of nothing. Fred committed, but still poor in possession. Carlos looks good, Olsen probably our man of the match. Overall, uninspiring.

    Early days, but some of the old flaws still look to be present and correct: Ponderous Mings Wasteful finishing Lack of fluidity/harem scarem On the plus side, Couthino has shown some beautiful touches, easily our best performer and Olsen has impressed. As I say, early days.

    You could make that argument yes, it sounds pretty sensible. But for me, there's something to do with intent and belief in your abilities that doesn't sit right with accepting that you can be beaten. Could be talking nonsense, but I don't recall Emi rooted to the spot and watching too many goals whizzing past him - he's normally flying through the air like a giant cat trying to stop them!

    He's being spoken about because he just said he would be happy to be a number 2 at a club like Villa or Arsenal because he could still mentor the younger number 1 at those clubs. Agree re: Olsen, personally it irks me when a keeper doesn't dive and just watches a goal go in, even if it is true that he had no chance of reaching or stopping it.

    Not sure what you mean by 'too technical'. Surely Couthino is even more technical and he's Gerrard's first name on the team sheet. If you mean he is too technical at the expense of putting in a shift, or staying on the pitch without getting injured, I would agree with you. He has been a big disappointment so far. Let's hope he finds a way to make an impact.

    These exciting new players are a significant upgrade in terms of their reputation and current performance levels, so it's clear, we are now buying high quality ingredients. What's not clear is whether the head chef has the right mix of skills and experience to create an award winning dish, night after night in a pressure cooker situation. He speaks with all the bravado of a Gordon Ramsay, so we'll just have to see if it's all talk, but he knows his sweetbreads are on the line. Europa Conference League qualification campaigns don't get better than this.

    Not sure even Graeme knows who he is, so that should give you an idea to the accuracy of his 'insider transfer knowledge'.

    Typical Villa
  9. Lerner's Driver
    He watched all the goals go in. I don't care if you have no chance of stopping the shot, dive to show you care. Poor performance in my opinion. He looked scared. Needs replacing.
  10. Lerner's Driver
    And one goal
  11. Lerner's Driver
    It's been mostly wank
  12. Lerner's Driver
    Booooooooooooooooo!
  13. Lerner's Driver
    Typical Villa. Play well. Fail to capitalise. Concede to a stupid mistake. Repeat. Well played Burnley.
  14. Lerner's Driver
    I expect he was referring to being 1-0 up with 8 minutes to go, but that when it came, it was undeserved. We were lucky not to lose today.
  15. Lerner's Driver
    From Burnley and Liverpool to that. We've seen some shit this season but that was up there as one of our very worst. Dreadful passing, ball retention and chance taking. We deserved to lose.
  16. Lerner's Driver
    Excellent performance. With a little more luck we could have got a point. Well played lads. Excellent to a man. Centre back is in need of an upgrade though. At least one.
  17. Lerner's Driver
    Meh. At least we didn't lose. Second half better than the first, but essentially another underwhelming game. This has been a poor season. Bailey clearly an expensive dud.
  18. Lerner's Driver
    It doesn't make any difference what he said. Everyone knows we only play in one half of every game. Spurs knew they only had to hold out until halftime.
  19. Lerner's Driver
    If we stay up, but lose every game from now until the end of the season, would you keep him and if so why?
  20. Lerner's Driver
    Not much. He will be binned in the summer. On the stream I watched, he headed the ball over the bar from a cross and the camera panned to Gerrard who you could see was calling him a useless clearing in the woods.
  21. Lerner's Driver
    And back to not having any meaningful impact.
  22. Lerner's Driver
    What is so annoying is the predictability of it all. I was certain we'd lose today because we rarely, if ever, look like we are ready to kick on to the next level. The occasional spurt of positive momentum is always fairly swiftly squashed by an inaccurate pass, slow, timid approach or stupid error at the back. We are capable of some very good football, but not against the top teams and not consistently enough to be relevant. Aston Villa are mid-table also rans. Yawn.
  23. Lerner's Driver
    Booooooooooooo. Once again, far too timid. Second half better effort, but still nowhere near good enough. If there was a more predictable result than Aston Villa losing to Arsehole today, I'm not sure I can think of it. Booooooooooooo.
  24. Lerner's Driver
    Unacceptable next year?
  25. Lerner's Driver
    Too passive in the in second half. We deserved to lose.
