villan-scott Posted November 29, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2015 Devastated. I am an eternal optimist but I just can't see how we will get ourselves out of this now. Doesnt get any easier with Southampton away and Arsenal at home. We are just too easy to play against, our defence is shambolic. It's all well and good asking Lerner to back Garde in January, but if you're adrift at the bottom it isn't easy to get the type of player we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If TRO means that we don't have players like deeney - not necessarily that skilful but will work their ass off for the cause - then I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I watched Deeney a lot at Walsall 5-6 years ago. I never thought he would make it to the premier league but he was a hardworker who could score goals, a bit similar to what Gabby used to be. He was actually playing right midfield at the time but Walsall moved him to central striker and he had a good season scoring 15 goals and getting the move to Watford. The 3rd goal was awful defending but just look at the desire Deeney showed, he nearly broke his neck to get to the ball when it was looping up in the air. Everyone knew how much he wanted to score infront of the Holte end. You just wouldn't see it down the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to a certain extent but the ball was under Clark he could only jump straight up where as Deeney was able to run at it which allowed him extra height.Richardson was next closest defender and he would have been able to see Deeney he just stood there.

theboyangel Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I blame Richardson for the Deeney goal - let him waltz past and have a forward jump on Ciaran Clark. Have only just got around to watching the highlights and thought we looked pretty good going forwards but for some reason cannot stop making shitty costly mistakes at the back. I don't put it down the style of play - it's purely individual errors that are costing us dearly - be it a pathetic stabbed effort of a clearance by Sanchez for the first, a daft OG by Hutton followed by the debarcle leading up to the third goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Given where we are I would take the likes of Kevin Nolan or Joey Barton in a heartbeat to give us a bit of steel. We are so powder puff its just unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeney is a total and utter c word who goaded the Villa fans shamelessly all game and then tries to pretend it was all good natured post match. BUT he showed desire and commitment that sadly our players can only dream about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I couldn't watch us on Sat, how were we going forward? Did we actually create chances in this game? I've seen the Ayew sitter and the one Clark nearly got to in the first half. Btw Sanchez gave the ball away for a half-chance (can't remember what the outcome was but it wasn't for a goal) but people who blame him for that should see that Gana gave him the ball in a ridiculous position.

I think we were as good, going forward, as we've been for a long time. We scored two goals and could have had 2 or 3 more. But defensively we were poor. That's where we were undone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, they may be wrong about that. Bournemouth were showing a bit of fight and nous on Saturday that showed they know how to get points from difficult games.

The_Rev Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Bournemouth took the title from Watford in the 90th minute of the final game of the season, though it was because Watford conceded rather than because Bournemouth scored. I wonder if there was a bit of 'banter' between the two sets of fans over the summer or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2015 Read yesterday that we won the toss and decided to kick towards the Holte End in the first half - I'm sure the article said that Micah was the first Villa Captain to do that in over thirty years. Unusual decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
