Ratings and Reactions: Villa 1-1 Swansea

[Demitri_C]

No technical ability

No creativity

No good football

Happy with a point at home to Swansea all second half

Can't score

Have I left anything out?

Is mcleish mk 2

[samjp26]

• 1 point out of 12 from our Christmas period
• We have a defensive partnership of Baker and Herd against Sunderland
• Awful football
• After Sunderland we have Arsenal and Liverpool

All in all, I think we're going in one direction. Something needs to change, VERY quickly.

[The_Steve]

After 4 defeats on the trot, a comfortable point against a Swansea side who can pass but create very little. Dispiriting performance from certain players yet again (Weimann, Westwood, Luna and Lowton). 

 

Team looks awfully low on confidence and the boos will no doubt do wonders.

Don't let getting a point fool anyone. That was as dire as any of our many dire performances this season. How can ANYONE support Lambert anymore?? 27% possession?? Shocking stuff at home.

[VillanousOne]

Can't fault the effort - but the quality of play is again absolutely dire - lost count how many times we end up turning attack into defence or the ball ends up with Brad 'hoof it straight to the opposition' Guzan. Or ridiculous long balls into the channels where no-one is running into.

 

Lambert will probably say we were excellent and deserved to win.

 

Also considering Swansea's size and budget - how many foreign players have they got that no-one has ever heard of yet seem compentent and comfortable on the ball? Yet we can't rustle up two players like that?

4 off the relegation zone

 

A win next week with Vlaar and Benteke back and we could make top 10 and things wont look half as bad. I just hope Lerner backs Lambert with some money to invest in 2-3 players of higher quality. Lets face it.. he wont be sacked and he wont resign

What good does booing do?

 

 

Absolutely.

 

Fans should pay their £35, buy a programme, pay a fiver for some ships and a coke, then cheer whatever shit is served up on the pitch like good little consumers.

 

Edit: I meant chips, but if I could get a ship from every home game, I wouldn't boo.

[Phumfeinz]

I wonder if we will be last on Match of the Day!

[osmark86]

Looked better in the second half, but the woofing was aloofing too many mucho. still needs more movement if we're going to have a chance at competing against ALL the other teams in the league. the possession stats are waaaaay too poor for an Premier League team. At least we didn't lose again and I'm at least somewhat happy with 1 points going away from this fixture.

We can't compete with the Swanseas and Hull Citys of this world.

[Swerbs]

Disappointed after taking the lead but a point will do. Remember though guys, we had like 67% possession against Palace and still lost so that statistic is pretty irrelevant to me.

They could probably justify just skipping all of our games at this point.

[VillanousOne]

Vlaar better be back next game - otherwise Baker and Herd CBs - SHUDDER!

[PieFacE]

Why can't we put 4 passes together in the oppositions half? It's so bad.

[Wes]

 

56% pass accuracy

 

 

This cannot continue.

[Rugeley Villa]

How anyone can take positives I don't know. Absolute shit. Dominated by a team well out of form. To play fulham,stoke,palace and swansea and only take 1 point is worrying. I fear for us up sunderland and then its arsenal and liverpool

[CarewsEyebrowDesigner]

At least we didn't lose.

 

We were an absolute disgrace, though. Learn to pass the ball you useless words removed.

[villadude]

I'm shocked we got the point tbh..

A new owner and manager needed, until that happens we'll just have to put up with this dross.
