I like KMac but he seems to be trying to be as inept as possible. Any idiot could have picked a better team for this one. Grealish was never going to get a look in a game where Spurs would dominate possession. Gil was so obviously a better choice.

Was just pondering how much "premiership experience" Ferguson had when he joined Man Utd, or Wenger when he joined Arsenal. What about the dude ripping it up at Southampton ..... or Leicester or many of the other clubs doing pretty good this season ? Why do we need somebody with premiership experience ?!!!!

Absolutely this ! We need to stop changing the team every week in search of quick fixes, stick to a starting XI and let them build fitness and understanding ..... that is the only way we will escape the bottom three even if at first it achieves little.

Southampton 2 Villa 3 (Kozak 2, Richards)

Welcome and Good Luck Remi !!!

Rowett seen at Villa Park this morning ..... just saying !!!

Keep Sherwood - sack the entire coaching team !

It may not be the impact of that pressure on Sherwood but on the players !

Seriously, just because it is Chelsea we have to expect and accept defeat! I don't think Southampton and the other teams that have taken points off them had this pathetic mentality of yours. Okay, okay ..... just having a bit of a wind up over a stubby or six !!! I like Sherwood, I like having a guy with a bit of charisma after the last two deadbeats we have suffered. I think he may have built something with this young squad but the pressure of league position and media / fans criticism has made it very difficult to complete or even progress with the task ..... which is a real shame as I'd love to see him make it. In reality, he WILL go and he WILL go this week ahead and we'll have a new manager in charge by next Saturday. Just hope the new guy can mix the new ingredients better because its all he has for a few months !!!

What is a "proper manager" ?!!!!

I watched us come second to a better team ..... or are we supposed to be on a par with Chelsea ?

Why - because we lost at Chelsea ? Really ?!!!!

I fancy this one ...... Chelsea 2 Villa 5 (Gestede 2, Agbonlahor 2, Richards) !

Tactically very poor today ..... VERY poor !!!

Lost 100% by Sherwood ..... tactics were wrong, shape was wrong, substitutions were wrong. Gana was not fit and repeatedly turned the ball over, Sinclair was gash and looked lost, Grealish looked like a pub footballer and the team just looked devoid of spirit. Liverpool are a poor team with no confidence and yet we started with nine behind the ball at all times, gave Liverpool the ball and lots of space and just gifted confidence to the opposition. Can't wait to hear Tim's explanation for such a poor, negative, hopeless performance !!!

Benteke confirmed as missing the game so that's Cleverley, Delph and Benteke all out with muscle strains ...... "instant karma's gonna get you" !!!

It really is very simple ..... they are doing all they can to stop tickets getting to Noses !

I thought the criteria had changed tonight to any history at any time EVER ..... gets a ticket. If you can't match that then there is little hope I guess !!!

I'm hearing ticket sales are just over 37,000 as at 1pm today.

Imagine what it would do to THIS site !!! #meltdown

I blame the fans ..... we knew it would take half a season to get things moving, We haven't even done a quarter of the season and we are slashing our wrists and shooting people. Judge progress in January, not now ..... even if that means we are bottom at Christmas !

Guzan, Amavi, Richards, Lescott, Hutton, Clark, Sanchez, Gil, Grealish, Shaw, Withe

Do we ?!!!

Remember its also midweek, its just after the weekend's outlay and its live on TV ! I'm doing 200 mile trip to be there again and I couldn't live with calling myself a Villa fan and NOT going to a Blues game but all fans are different and always have been ..... this one is for the hardcore !

Villa v SHA @ 9:20am Sunday
