  1. He must be frustrated with the way our back 4 constantly bypass our midfield with their hoof balls.
  2. No we didn't get the result today because of poor tactics and poor substitutions. Against that Forest side with the players we have we should have been cruising by the time Grealish was sent off, even with Johnstone's mistake. Then after the sending off he should never have taken both strikers off as it just invites pressure on ourselves resulting in their winning goal. I'm not even a football manager and it was all just so glaringly obvious.
  3. I would get rid of him now, we have nothing left to play for this season so we may as well get someone in who can get the team playing actual football. He started well but I think anyone could have improved on RDM.
  4. Grealish was booked for kicking the ball away because he's an arrogant little prick
  5. Ridiculous that we've chucked a young keeper out on loan to get some experience and then brought in a young keeper from another side to gain experience... Strangest logic We can all see we need an experienced keeper in this back line
  6. Never bet on the Villa mate
  7. I like the team, I just hope Bree and Bjarnason can get back to help out all game as well as providing some width going forward. Green is unlucky to miss out but with this formation he wouldn't be defensively solid enough. Amavi would suit LWB but has been a bit of a liability the past few weeks. Hey it can't be any worse than Tuesday... Can it?
  8. This for me, a manager can't realistically be slated until he's had a chance to bring his own players in. He's now done this during the January window, we need to allow him more than one game to get his side playing properly together. The poor form of late has been a worry but we aren't going to get playoffs this year and so we should be looking at giving the man till the end of the season to show what he's all about with a team of players he wants playing for him.
  9. Makes me laugh, if we had brought someone else in instead of Bruce people would be slating Xia and the board for not bringing Bruce in when he was available. The guys at the top are doing everything they can to turn this club around, unfortunately its going to take more than a season to do it given the dramatic nose dive we have experienced over the last 5 years.
  10. Best player for us last night, not that it says much. Had absolutely no help from Amavi and on the occasions that he got it Amavi quickly lost possession.
  11. Amavi has been the worst player on the pitch, closely followed by Hutton and Bjarnason. Lansbury started well, as soon as they started marking him he dissapeared. We've now started booting it forward. This could become embarrasing
  12. Bedau, Taylor, Hogan in Ayew, Westwood and ? out McCormack to Forest?!
  13. Luckily there is a whole host of 'ITK's' on twitter nowadays
  14. Brilliant window Stage 2 of our squad overhaul complete, gives us the Summer to get rid of the last of the losers, wasters, deadwood
  15. Get rid of RMC on loan at the very least. Toxic to the club, we need everyone pulling in the same direction for the remainder of the season. Two up front if Bruce needs it but we can revert to one up front if an injury happens. Never thought I would say it but Gabby playing off Kodjia wouldn't be the end of the world if it is needed (Also what I think we will see tonight)
  16. Buzzing for today, it's nice to actually be excited for a transfer deadline day for a change. Along with a chance to see some of our new signings in action tonight. Let's leave the Benteke links out today though, as much as we all want him back we know it's not happening! Hogan will do nicely!
  17. It's going to be Jordan Bowery on loan isn't it...
  18. He just hasn't done it for me so far... Sell him
  19. Can you honestly say there was a buzz when we signed Benteke? And look how that one turned out... You say we can do better but we are a Championship team sitting in 13th place in the table, signing a Premiership striker with a great scoring record in the Championship. Not really sure how much better we could do here?!
  20. I think if we can sell him, then great get rid of him as we've had enough 'problem players' over the last few years. If we are unable to offload him and Ross shows a willingness to get himself fit and fight for his place (like Gabby has done), then with the new players around him he could be what we need beside Kodjia. If he doesn't want to fight for his place then I agree, let him stay at home and we will look to offload him in the Summer.
  21. Realistically we should be looking to offload Richards, Westwood, McCormack, Kozak Gollini & Cissokho are on loan, we can sell them come the summer Gabby as we all know won't be leaving Villa of his own accord, Bruce seem's to like him and we are short of strikers... Hutton, Elphick, Gardner, Jedinak, Bacuna are all fine as cover for the first team this season Amavi?! Come off it Ayew can go if we need the money for a replacement, but otherwise we might as well keep hold of him and see how he gets on with a better team around him
  22. Whilst I won't be complaining with Rhodes as I think a striker is needed this window, I don't think he is worth the price tag and I also don't think he will be a long term investment should be go up (I know this is looking increasingly unlikely this season) I'm hoping for a striker from abroad to come in from nowhere, a bit like the Bjarnason deal...
  23. Good news, I put him in my team on FIFA last night and he was good. Must be the same in real life...
