Jack's sulked around like a stroppy teenager all season. He's supposed to have a Villa heart, and claret and blue pumping through his veins. Therefore when he does get a chance you'd think he'd be busting a nut for the cause, which clearly he isn't Ditto Gabby Either they start putting it in on the pitch when given the chance or they can **** off, just like anyone else. It's all very well having talent, but if you have no desire then it means nothing. Absolutely nothing

The Afobe rumour will rumble on right until the transfer window shuts, it'll probably be a photoshop finish

I'm pretty sure that's absolute nonsense. Our money from sky alone last year was probably that

No, its got Bacuna and Lescott in it

Yet both are easily as good as Richards at CB.

The thing that drives me absolutely barmy about Traore is his love of standing still. You never see him making a run off the ball, he's always stood rooted to the spot awaiting the ball. And then when he gets it, 90% of the time he'll go off on a run, then stop dead in his tracks. As if to say to the defender, i'm now going to ridicule you. Sadly he then largely does nothing with the ball. Why can't he just run with the ball more and stop putting the brakes on ? we saw what happened when he did ...

1. He didn't want the job apparently, and said he didn't want to leave the side he was with on TV 2. Why would we have wanted a manager that's been sacked from his last two jobs due to doing a shit job?

If he's been our best player i'm a dutch man he's been found wanting as a defender, and that's his job. anyone care to work out how many goals have been down to him ? you say he puts in a shift, he does. but when that shift is based on shoddy defending and breaking up the pitch which usually ends with a poor final ball what's the benefit ?

He used Lescott, a summer signing. Even Sinclair was a summer signing that it seemed Sherwood did not want. Even if Lescott was a 'Sherwood-buy' excuse, I don't believe that none of the other summer who were fit but, but let out, were not 'Sherwood-signings'. Kmac went with the team he found best fit for the game. The only thing is Ayew not starting, but that can be viewed as him being better as a sub than a starter for now. Gana might have had a knock that made him train less, so he was a bit unfit. Who knows..?? These conspiracies are just too much. I can't believe ANYONE really believes K Mac picked that rabble last night and thought it was his best available line up, absolutely NO chance. He did it to spite the board

If you play a player as one footed as Clark on the opposite side you're asking for trouble. K Mac had right footed options in Okore & Crespo but clearly decided to **** us up by pairing Clark with Lescott. Utterly stupid decision For me, Clark would start every week alongside Okore in the middle with Richards and Amavi as full backs. Pairing Okore and Richards together wont work either, you need a balance As for the first goal yesterday, you'd have to ask why after 2 minutes Clark had to come out to left back spot as Hutton had **** vanished into thin air. Awful positioning from the off

Kmac can **** right off after the last week. I was livid last night when I saw the line up Pack yer bags

there's no smoke without fire

Absolutely agree 100%

I was happy to give Tim some praise for his substitutions after the match the other night until i heard his interview I assumed that he'd seen Lescott & Gabby have stinkers with his own eyes (and Clark in midfield) and decide on some tactical reshuffle. But after hearing him it seemed more of a 'i had to do it' rather than i thought the changes would make all the difference tactically Clark better start at CB on Saturday, and Gabby better not be near the first eleven either IMHO anyway I'd also sacrifice either Gestede or Sinclair from the side that finished the other night to put an extra body in midfield Oh, Bacuna can sit one out again too, bloody awful again

Kozak looked wank in pre season yet some claim he looked boss, he's just not very good. Simple as that Waste of 7m for a player that didn't even score once in Seria A

Gabby shouldn't be anywhere near the first eleven to my mind. Sinclair as a loan striker with Gil as the number 10, Grealish and Traore wide and Gana/Westwood in the middle

Got to take the blame for recent defeats, due to his baffling substitutions. Yesterday, if Gil really was injured he should've bought Veretout on and strengthened the midfield to my mind At that point we had a whole host of players doing absolutely nothing of note (Grealish, Sinclair, Gabby for starters) Could've changed the formation and ground out the win no problem, but chose to go oddball and gift em the 3 points

Guzan is starting to worry me. He's still more than capable of pulling off a worldy save but equally, if not more likely to drop a clanger

decent squad player, will never be anything better than that. why we felt the need to offer him that crazy long new contract in the summer bemused me

6/10

Based on what though? Grealish has never looked like becoming a goalscorer, Gil hasn't either. Traore possibly may add a few, we can but hope so anyway. Because non of the midfielders look like becoming goalscorers either

Having completely bodged the strike force, and with the defence looking shaky as ever i'm going for 15th

yeah, for about 2 minutes a match he'll do a fancy flick or back heel. sadly in our team how would that be useful when we have no goal threat ?

Sherringham had world class players around him and wasn't being relied on to be the main goal threat. Big difference really
