Ponky Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Midfield was sloppy for most of the first half then ball-watched for most of the second. Problem with playing both Gil and Grealish is that neither of them track back as well as they should and lack the pace to go with their man. Still, we got ourselves a two-goal buffer with a couple of sublime goals, and then Sherwood shits the bed.Veretout for Gil would have been perfectly acceptable and even Rudy for Gabby I was okay with, but Ayew for Gil was just disastrous and you'd almost report Sherwood for match fixing over that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sherwood is an absolute disgrace. Constantly his god awful **** subs are costing us valuable points. It's getting beyond a joke. Anyone with half a brain knew once we were 2 up bring on a midfielder but Ayew and **** Gestede?! I'm furious. Absolutely disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I genuinely believe that Jordan Ayew is the worst player we have signed since Bosko Balaban. Aside from that, it was so obvious from the 46th minute that's we'd lose the game. The second goal just prolonged the inevitable. Shocking.

jackbauer24 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 This isn't reactionary, I've been saying it since September 1st, Villa are going down.Bits of brilliance from players doesn't disguise the fact the team as a whole doesn't work well together. We offer little collective threat going forward, the midfield is too light weight and the defence constantly bottle it. How many goals is that we've let in during the last five to ten minutes? I also don't see a solid Sherwood plan, he's chopping and changing and doesn't know what to do, and his substitutions are either wrong or way too late. 5 games in, very few difficult games, one win against a newly promoted team, draw against Sunderland at home who will be the leagues whipping boys, letting a two goal slip against Leicester. We have no striker and Sinclair, who is our closest thing to one, is hot and cold.Fantastic finish from Grealish today but if we're honest he didn't have a great game and him, Gil, Bacuna are all luxury players and unlikely to all be firing on the same day which instantly puts you at a disadvantage. Gabby is only use as a sub, Ayew and Gestede are going to need a lot of time.4 points from our opening fixtures is pathetic frankly. We may get better as players bed in but it will be too little too late and no doubt injuries will start to build too.I have zero faith we are magically going to improve due to time or the will of hopeful Villa fans. Very annoyed, it was obvious from thd second half kick off that we weren't going to get anything from this game.Fortunately there will be no tension of whether we stay up or get relegated this season as it'll be obvious by early April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain4Life Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 17th at best. If we are lucky. Why Sherwood didn't bring on some fresh legs in midfield and defense, when up 2-0? I guess that's why he makes the big bucks and I sit in my arm chair. *sighs* ... whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 brainless all round, from the manager to the players. Ridiculous substitutions, and our players are mentally weak. How many lazy, unforced errors did we make. This is a horrendous result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 How many **** times have we done that? As soon as it was 2-1 every single one of us knew what was happening there, why always us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted September 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2015 Damn damn damn it. Leicester made us look like hapless turtles. They are playing the same super-pacey speed that has worked for Palace -- fitter, stronger, more aggressive, more spirited. Of course thy came back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Tim seems to be throwing away points in every game with his poor decisions. Gil MOTM as always. Sanchez was a disgrace, his worst performance for us. Bacuna terrible too. Edited September 13, 2015 by Razor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemk39 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 guzan, bacuna, sanchez and gabby need to go to the u21's for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Only the Villa can do this. Nightmare 15 mins under pressure for Bacuna after the penalty appeal 5 year contract? Seriously? Guzan at fault for the 3rd goal, Sanchez from looking imposing to treading water in the last ten minutes and it all started from that ridiculous substitution - introducing a bloke who was so far off the pace he would have struggled in a game in the conference. This should have been a great result reflecting on two great goals from the midfield. Thanks Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivahate Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I hope Tim owns up to his stupid subs and we can move on. I was really fu**ing excited for the blues game, now I'm kinda dreading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojong Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 It almost feels like Sherwood has decided the substitutions before the game. Hmm..Ayew deserves a chance today, and Gil needs to be taken off because he's been out. Maybe Gestede and Hutton in the end. Yeah, I'll go with that today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Sherwood is still inexperienced as a manger. I hope he will learn a lot from that turnaround. We need to learn how to slow down games and keep possession when the opposition is rampant like that. It doesn't help dropping all outfield players deep and giving the ball away as soon as we have it. It just invites more pressure leading to every one 'knowing' the goals will come and panicking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Another pathetic capitulation. The players have (mostly) changed, the manager has changed, the coaching staff has changed, the tactics and style of play have changed, but the one remaining constant is the abject collapse late in the game when we go a goal behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
