OLDVILLAIN

Gerrard showing his tactical prowess by not putting on luiz and bailey,I have seen gnats with more tactical awareness

Fixed that for you my friend

Just saw baileys face on the bench..he certainly does not look a happy camper today

I wonder who Watkins goal scoring coach is..he should be tied to mcphee and sent to the sty down the road

Bouba for captain! i know his english is not great but neither is Mcginn's..It has to be a crime somewhere in the world to not play buendia over coutinho. I am also through experience not going to get excited about winning this match as it is always in Villa's modus operandi to throw it away.

Now we need to kill these off while there heads are down

Some goal danny ings..take a bow son

Please...even a blindman can see that JJ and Mcginn dont work in midfield and Watkins and Ings dont either..how many times ffs..Coutinho needs a long spell on the bench.

Now that we will rarely see marvelous in our midfiled anymore. we will have to give Mcginn a splendid pre-name like Fancrapolous McGinn

The pace we are playing at reminds me of snails..jesus cant they move the ball faster instead of telegraphing every pass

Dont start that shit again this season

Sending out the search and rescue for the missing Coutihno

This will set the tone for the next few weeks

If Gerrard gets the boot anytime soon he has to take purslow with him..or else we will remain in the same mess we are in now

It baffles and worries me for the rest of Gerrard's tenure however long it lasts That he is seeing something in Mcginn that 90% of the villa fanbase cant see. I mean its crazy to think that he is using his favourites over the players that are in form , for example Konsa over Chambers and Coutihno over buendia and Jacob ramsay's form fell off a cliff months ago and also needs to be dropped to get his perspective together. Gerrard was quoted as saying that he wanted fast moving exciting possession based football..I wonder if the coaches have told the players that yet, It took him four years at rangers to build a team that could beat a poor celtic in a 2 horse league...he wont get that here..dare i say he wont even get the next 4 months if he does not turn around the dressing room.

From the outside looking in i like Sanson as a player..2 previous manager's not wanting him to play for whatever reason is worrying also. That post he made on instagram before the last match i think was out of order and Lacks professionalism. I think whatever the hell is going on behind the scenes at villa better be resolved soon, as i sensed the same last year a few weeks before deano got the sack.

7TH FEBRUARY 2009 with this account Villa Vs Blackburn Rovers Villa win 2-0 Milner and Gabby scored

Gerrard OUT!!! and take the invisible man coutihno with you

Yeah seems digne was still wearing his diamond chastity belt..had to get a locksmith to get it off pitchside

It defies logic that there are people on here defending that first half performance and saying that its "only" the first game of the season..get a **** grip.

Fixed that typo for you m8

No more excuses for Gerrard now..this is all on him and his bizarre team selection and team decisions

Someone needs to remind gerrard that pre-season finished last week..and this is the real world.

Well Gerrard said he wanted consistency..looks like he got it...we are consistently shite..

I have no clue what JJ is doing on the pitch..coutihno invisible needs swapping with buendia...luiz on for JJ..mcginn blowing out his ass again. All too predictable
