An embarrassment for every fan who made the effort to attend. He should be ashamed for that display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Not for me. We can talk about performances but surely it is the managers remit to change it when we were being essentially torn apart by the high line? He didn't once change it which summed him up. To let it continue to happen 6 times is negligence. His post match interviews were the most cringeworthy of any manager we have had so far. Awful manager and even Swindon isn't his level it seems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Well I will be thankful he got us into a cup final and played some decent stuff for a short while he was here. Unlike the other 10 managerial clowns before and after him Made supporting Villa fun again compared to rest of the managers we had who have made it a chore Edited February 13, 2017 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of getting to final when you put in a pathetic display like that ? When we get on cup final against united in league cup we lost 2-1 but at least we tried and out a performance in. Those losers disgraced us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Arsenal didn't even get out of first gear, total embarrassment. The current manager we have in charge now put up a more of a performance against them in a final. Textbook "how to not prepare for an important game" from Tim Sherwood.

Zatman Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Bruce threw away a 2-0 lead in the final. not really that much better though I suppose we should have realised then what we were getting as manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we got to the final and played great at Wembley against Liverpool unlike under Oneill against Chelsea. Sherwood at least gave us some highs unlike Garde and Bruce so far.

Brumstopdogs Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Garde and Black - what utter failures they were for us. Sherwood's tenure, on the whole, was more enjoyable although ultimately doomed. Edited February 13, 2017 by Brumstopdogs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The fact they were 2-0 up is something we could only dream of. 4-0 and they didn't even break a sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I do think some people take for granted how bad that team is. 18 months on from the game the starting line-up are 2 of the players are unemployed, 4 of them are Premier League squad players at best since Delph and Given hardly make bench for their club, 1 is a regular Premier League starter, 1 cant get into a Danish league team, 1 is Alan Hutton Other 2 are Grealish and Vlaar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 He also had Benteke who at the time was one of the better strikers in the league. It's all pointless now but for me he is up there with the worst manager we have had in recent history with Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think maybe people's perceptions might be affected by where they were when they watched that final. I watched it in a bar in Hanoi, with about 100 Arsenal fans and two bluenoses. I was the only Villa fan there. I wore my replica shirt, something I would never ever normally do in public. It was probably the single most publicly humiliating experience I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'd put Lambert's 3 game run of 15-0 ahead of that fa cup final. And while it was shit, the weekend for the semi was absolutely **** fantastic. Lambert's the worst. The rest are just a mixture of shit I can't be arsed to order. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 In the 15-0 run we literally had a back 5 of Lowton-Herd-Clark-Baker-Lichaj and a midfield of Westwood-Holman-Bannan. 15-0 was kind on us. The Arsenal cup final was the most embarrassing match in recent memory. We got absolutely dismantled and we didn't even push Arsenal out of 5th gear. At Wembley, in front of millions worldwide. Unbelievably humiliating. Actually, the recent Brentford performance is up there too given the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're really not that important to external fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Simon Jordan on Talksport today summed up sherwood best when talking about Swindon. Doesn't think Sherwood is dis-interested, just isn't very good. One of those managers who is linked with every job but Got found out at villa, Tottenham already had good players and now he has found his natural level & that level is getting lower and lower. He's now set himself a low standard and is managing to achieve it. http://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1486980000# was about 12.14 so hit the 12.00-12.30 section & skip to there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible management. Agreed with that. Absolutely shocking management. The game vs Southampton was absolutely dire though. People go on about that Liverpool game but I think that Southampton game was even worse. Mane scored the fastest hat trick in premier league history. We were pathetic.
