Ratings and Reactions: Villa 1-4 Stoke

[trevor]

That was the most hopeless performance of the season, and that is some feat considering the multitude of garbage games served up this season. No pace, no creativity, no fight. I'd rather go to the dentist and have a filling than have to sit through that again. About as big a low as Doncaster away, hopeless.

There are no 'overreactions'. This poor situation has been going on for far too long but some fans just accept their fate with the same pathetic attitude that the team has.

So what are you going to do about it then?

That's fighting talk! If only our players had shown the same spirit.

[Ponky]

Not that it made a difference to the outcome but the ref was a bit shit. Let the Stoke players kick the shit out of our guys but blew for fouls every time we returned the favour.

 

And how does Crouch get away with having Vlaar in a headlock for their first goal?

[turnbull]

Feckin' clueless.

 

2 decent steps forwards and a crappy one back.

Pathetic response.

At least there's only 8 games left of another season dominated by awful football. Bring on the World Cup. 

[MackHaakon]

Stoke much better than us in every way, congrats to them for a superb game.

 

We didn't create a single chance in the 2nd half. I can't think of any team in the league who is capable of that at home.

[Ponky]

Gabby is the one that really disappoints me. Just no composure on the ball, runs into dead ends and can't effect a simple pass to save himself.

[villalad21]

I don't get this team

[NurembergVillan]

Baker culpable for at least two of those goals.  Absolutely woeful.

[pacbuddies]

How can anyone defend Lambert and his awful signings and awful tactics. He has no idea and our atrocious home form reflects his inadequacies.

[villa_shere]

At least they let us score first

-4 I think...

[villadude]

Embarrassing, just, embarrassing.

[Ponky]

KEA was pretty awful. Twice let the ball go straight past him to a Stoke player and made up for it by hacking Crouch down to earn a yellow.

[VillanousOne]

nothing makes sense at all, the line between being good and bad is nothing, were are just so horribly inconsistent.

 

who do you blame? The players? The management?

 

Not sure the stats on us closing out games when we score first but i imagine it's dire.

 

[Villain4Life]

After the first 10 min, we probably 80 min of played the worst PL game seen at VP for a very very long time.

So what are you going to do about it then?

Pathetic response.

Not at all. The team have an influence on their fate. What can the fans do other than accept the things they can not change or have a moan .

So what are you doing?
