count me in .......such an ineffective player unbelievable a strike rate of 1 in 9 - and stills gets to play in most of our games

Were we watching the same game? Cuellar played well throughout. He was left high and dry by the goal by the fact that Delph let his man go. Get a grip!! can't agree , as soon Vienna upped the tempo , he floundered to me, to slow and error prone.

Guzan - no chance with goal - but looked a little shaky all night, couldn't really see the advantage of playing a number 2 keeper. Beye - mostly sound, but seems to get caught out of position. Shorey - good game tonight Cuellar - not for me, caught facing wrong way for goal Davies - Sound Delph - some good passes, impressed me tonight Petrov - bit anonymous tonight Young - good performance MOTM Milner - good Heskey - dire, really can't see any advantage to playing him at all - should now be 4th choice striker or sold. Carew - quiet at times - great goal though in general, we always looked liked conceding, and only looked threatening in fits and starts. Personally i would dispense with squad rotation in defence, and try to come up with a solid unit.

What Youngsters is he bringing through ?For the most part MON seems to ignore them........i would like to see Lowry/Clark get a game at CB against Liverpool - but chances are Beye will play CB

Official Nickname has always been the villains (not sure on the spelling) - bit disappointed in the generals response to be honest.

Davies subbed shortly after clutching his shoulder ..........good job we sold Knight eh Martin ?

where t f was Beye ?

MON will earn his cash if he can turn this around this season. Even if he gets a cb ........where are the goals coming from ?

would you take 0-1 at 90 minutes - looks our best hope?

Get the Fonz on.......they aren't even bothering to mark Heskey - zero goal threat from him

Cuellar along with Heskey are the mainstay of our problem. I ve never seen Cuellar have a good game for us - he looks far to slow, his passing is poor, his tacking seems ok - but thats not nearly . enough at this level. Davis I accept has been equally poor for a while now....but he has had some good games for villa - WTF is going on with that shoulder.....why wasn't it sorted in the close season. Cuellar came with a big fee and some reputation - to me he hasn't justified it and is in the team purley because there is no alternative. As soon as a cb is signed he should be ousted to the bench.

weve won 3 of the last 17 games - what manager can better that?

This surely has to be an over reaction mate? We finished 6th the other year, 6th again last season while being just 10 points off Champions League football. Yes, we've lost 1 game this season and that makes it worse than any point during the DOL era? Madness! 3 And I tell you what , whether you like it or not, I hope it is MON's fault coz at least I'll have my dream back ! Well is it Randy who puts Milner at RB ? Was it Randy who sold Cahil - brought knight - then sold him ? Was It Randy who signed Heskey ? Randy may not be beyond reproach. But I think MON has let us all down, with the players he has and hasn't brought.

Post on poster much? I'd have thought you'd be more careful with a yellow card against your name. My posts are, in the main, well put together. The spelling is passable, the prose is readable, the capitalisation in the appropriate places. Holding a different opinion to you doesn't mean the "posts suck" as you so eloquently put it. And, thank you for your interest, but I was at the game today. Sitting in my new seat in the North Stand. I saw both of Wigan's goals in all their technicolour glory. We were poor and Wigan played well, but 6-1? Whatever you say, whatever you say "mate". a few people I have spoke to said we got off lightly at 0-2

Actually is it all about Martin Laursen - remember his first season - we started ok, then went on a dire run, Laursen came back from injury , and we looked good. Last season when laursen got injured we slowly fell apart. Of course he signed Carew and Ashley young, but now his working relationship with carew at the least seems very strained, I still like young, but people are saying now he's not so you. 3 wins in 19 games is it ? .........could anyone else do better .....I think they could . so I voted MON Out. hell get ten games or so, but today he shifted Milner, (a star for england in midweek) to full back, and persists with Heskey ............he really is signing his own exit papers

MON says he has funds - we have beleive that. If he came out and said he didn't I would have a tad more sympathy.....but not much he has wasted loads of money on Heskey, Cueller, Shorey,

grow up dickhead, where were you when we had O'Leary and doug and you went into games like this expecting to lose? Quit the abuse - MON is continuing the shite performance as a manager he did for most of 2009 and at various times before. The time may well be here for him to accept it that he hasn't got what he needs to take this club forward and think about what is best for us and the midless fans that we are lucky enough to have once again find it easier to criticise how many are willing to boo, how many will slate him without actually being able to offer anything constructive we are losing, and its shit but sack MON? and do what then exactly? curbishley is looking for work still Ill boo him......whoose up for it ?

because he walked out after heskey named ahead of him in team

Don't think Carew is particulary motivated the moment

I actually hope he doesn't - we got £80m of MON purchases on the pitch. MON has had time and money - lets save it for the new guy

newcastles player of the season look every inch a 31 year £2.5m , from a relegated club there.

Local radio says carew was named as a sub - but injured his foot in the warm up. Sounds highly unlikely, he looked well pissed off against florienta , rumours are that he and heskey squared up to each other in a peace cup match - more likley he's pissed after averaging 1 goal in 2 games last season - that a bloke who has 2 in 13 - gets in the team ahead of him........and can you really blame him. this is a weaker side that drew 0-0 with wigan last season.

Well this was touted as a massive window for O Neil - no more accussed the squad strength would be addressed . Even around a week ago he was talking of five more players arriving. I didn't believe him them - like I didn't believe him in April may. I wouldn't say he is dishonest - but when he says signings are on there way - does anybody really believe him anymore. He has set Heskey a target of 10 goals - which I don't even think he managed at Liverpool - his typical strike rate is 1 in 7 - this will be some transformation. Basically Im not optimistic - even if you say the squad is the same size - we haven't replaced Laursen , and Delph looks a fine prospect - but doesn't have the premier experience of Barry. Luke Young and Curtis Davis are still carrying last seasons injuries. The 11 that goes out v wigan today - I don't see in any department is better than the team we were putting out last winter - at best an unconvincing 1-0 victory is the best I can see. While it is to painful to ponder, whats gnawing away at most villa fans, is the stark reality that MON, whilst a decent manager, isn't the great manager once billed, he's not a Clough, Ron saunders, - i will be kind an put him in the Ron Atkinson, Brian Little class. - they both acheived silverware under Ellis. Hope Lerner has his eyes on a replacement around christmas time

looks a bit like the world cup (feels like it as well)

do you know i thought veetle had froze when he 'hit' it
