Modern football for you. The game is absolutely dead. I genuinely have no interest in the sport.
-
Yeah, but Mings is crap according to Dave on Twitter. We don't need him, he shouldn't have the armband and we should sell him, apparently.

Did anyone catch what our fans (at least I think it was our fans) were singing to Smith in the last 5 mins after we got the second goal? It was to the tune of "he's one of our own". It sounded complimentary but I couldn't make it out.
-
We did. We tried to get forward whenever we could but Liverpool were just too good and able to keep us penned in. We're not on their level yet. Nowhere near it, in fact. They're a different class. I was happy we were able to keep them out for as long as we did and without their penalty, they may never have scored. A few weeks ago we conceded 3 in 10 minutes against one of the lowest scoring teams in the league and 4 at home to West Ham. I think we should just be happy how we defended against, in my opinion the best team in the world.
-
Righhhhht, so we should have played open and expansive football against the best team in the world? Maybe we should ask Bielsa how that works out. Also, you do realise that Gerrard stated that we didn't go there to "park the bus". The plan was to go and have a go. But Liverpool were so good we had to alter our plan and try to keep them out, which we did for nearly the whole game. What should we have done? Continued with the game plan and got absolutely hammered? No offence, but you're talking out of your arse. Have a good day.
-
And if we had been given that penalty, like we should have been it would most likely have been a point. That's why you keep the score down because it only takes one chance to get something from the game then. Not hard to understand really.
-
He's the real deal, isn't he? Everything about him oozes class and professionalism.
-
So good. Looks like he could become the complete midfielder. He's a joy to watch.
-
Captain fantastic today. Again.
-
Yeah, absolutely correct. We should have gone there with an open game plan and tried to outplay possibly the best team in world football in their own ground. What was Gerrard thinking!
-
Absolutely agree. It was thee epitome of anti-football from them. Bored me out of my brain. We might not have been great but at least we looked to go forward whenever we could. They were shocking.
-
This seems so surreal to me. Like when players retire in Football Manager and then become managers and you'd used to say "as if that would ever happen". Not sure what to think. Sounds like he has a good and modern coaching setup but it's definitely a big risk. What I do like is how the club have just got the job done. They've made their mind up and got it done with no drama. We're not a circus club any more. Just hope it's the right call. As with anyone else in charge of Villa, I'm fully behind him but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.
-
I miss Smith.
-
Whatever.
-
Proving yourself at club level means the square root of jack now. So many of the managers on the favourites list have "proven" themselves and I wouldn't go near them. Something about the Danish guy tells me he'd be good. Gut feeling.
-
The Denmark manager would be the best option. All of the other so called favourites are a no from me.
-
Still so gutted about this. Every time I see a picture of him it's like seeing a picture of an ex you're nowhere near over yet.
-
-
Don't care any more. It's a dead sport.
-
If he goes the last lingering thread of my interest in modern football will go. Hate the sport and what it has become
-
New contract soon. Please. Love the man.
-
Agreed, but I think Tuanzebe has more of those lapses. Also, Hause is easily our best player in the air. He's a pure beast.
-
Better than Tuanzebe by an absolute country mile. Should be starting every week, for me.
