Probably on account of it being kind of a big thing. They scored a goal. We didn't. Therefore should of won.

This is seriously clutching. You do realise Sheffield United 100% should of left VP with 3 points, yes ? Chelsea dominated us. Point fair result against Newcastle. Poor game yesterday. They scored. We created nothing.

Get Dan Ashworth in, would be a start and a positive change instead of that garden gnome Suso. Purslow, starting to like the camera a bit too much. Stay in the background. But yeah Ashworth - he's top drawer. Not been big headed but id like to think we can get brightons technical director.

I dunno, Middlesbrough. If you've 2 arms and 2 legs you should be able to take England out of the group stages of a finals.

Evans works for a scribe now that are subscription based. They give you like the first paragraph. It's pure click bait. He knows nothing. Gets more wrong than right .

What's to talk about. Sack him, get the new guy in and that those lazy shites in tomorrow.

Hasn't he known the players since last August though ?

Your whole foundation for the points you try to make would crumble if Bournemouth and west ham found another gear. We should be dead and buried right now.

Warnock having an immediate impact at Boro but no let's be typically villa and just accept our faith.

Nah, wouldn't want to get burned by Brentford twice and after seeing how poor Smith is it makes you think it's more than just a manager there that gets stuff going.

I don't believe in curses or jinxes or this " why do we always get it wrong, we have such bad luck " The answer simply is we just make bad choices, continually. Recruitment, management. We've traded on our name and history to try to stay somewhat relevant for a long time now but and take Liverpool for example. They were getting nowhere despite their history, always falling short. So their recent success was borne out of sheer hard work. From the top down. Elite ownership, their academy has kicked on, recruitment fantastic and a superb manager with a tactically fantastic brain who keeps his squad highly motivated BUT it didn't come in under the carpet and land at their feet. Trading on their name got them nowhere. They worked very hard. From the top down, we aren't sharp enough. Aston Villa just don't work hard enough. Right through.

He's clutching. Not a good sign.

You are aware that Bournemouth and West Ham are deplorable and the reason we are same points as 17th has absolutely nothing to do with our fighting capabilities and more to do with how crap they have been. Right ?

Lots of reputable journalists reported he was set for the trap door if we lost to Chelsea pre Covid.

Always someone else's fault in his interviews. Should be fun.

You are getting annoying now, seriously.

So were Middlesbrough. Least they are trying something different. Why just feebly accept your faith.

Even Dean doesn't know how he's landed this gig. Why wait after this. Get rid. The players are limited yes but he can't get a tune out of them therefore you kinda have to think short term and get someone in to give it a fresh perspective. Watford were sinking when Pearson came in. His impact was immediate. And for those saying give it to the guy who can't coach a defence and still has the biggest man crush on Chelsea, piss off.

A good attack minded line up. This is a must win. No wiggle room. I'd like to see Jack actually stay in the hole behind the front 2. His positional sense is one of the very few weaknesses in his game. He drifts everywhere, out left, back into his own half. I understand he needs to do this with us but he won't get away with playing like that at United. Just sit and see what happens.

Nope. Nakamba is muck. He's as weak as a june robin and needs acres of space on the ball to be able to pass it accurately. A poor signing. Pay peanuts etc etc

It's ruthless but i like it. If these guys are in their 20s and don't look close to breaking into our squad ( and none of them did ) then get rid. Flood the 23s with elite 16, 17 year old talent. We've brought Grealish through in the last what 6 to 7 years. That's it. That's kind of pathetic.

Stop with this psycho babble nonsense that you've been coming at people for a few days with now when some here expected us to do better this season. Newly promoted teams DO actually do well. Bournemouth. Brighton. Wolves. Swansea. Watford. People have different opinions to you, don't come from a lesser level of intellect who don't understand the points you are ( repeatedly ) trying to make.

The worry is this - that was the most ordinary team we'll play on the run in and we couldn't win.

Very short sighted view. Straight up, you think we'll get anything from United, Liverpool and arsenal ? Be honest please. I think we'll lose all 3 games. So being as equally crap and underperforming as Bournemouth and West Ham are right now and celebrating a point against a team who mentally are on a beach in marbella, isn't good enough. We needed to win this. Staying close to them is no good. We'll lose more of what we've left than we'll win. So ultimately....

It'll be even slower again wolves United and Liverpool are done with us.
