I think we've been unlucky tonight, but never looked like winning the game. Our lack of goal threat is killing us. But our lack of goal threat has nothing to do with luck !!!! How are we unlucky? Week after week we play in an overly cautious defensive way ( whatever the system) and week after week the same thing happens !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the strikers should do better themselves, but our midfield always feels absolutely miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant unlucky in this particular game, away from home against top of the league where we've basically restricted them to nothing... but shot ourselves in the foot. I can't see what blame Bruce takes from this particular game. Maybe not changing anything soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgets we didn't have in the premier league, budgets a lot of premier league teams had this season, we spent it all on utter **** garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see what blame Bruce takes from this particular game. Maybe not changing anything soon enough. The same blame as all the others. His way of playing always asks for trouble- the fact that sometimes it means we contain or nearly contain teams should never be viewed as a sign it is a good method. Its a method for an away leg in Europe, or for a team full of Robbie Savages. In no way does it suit us.

Zatman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 worst manager in Villa history for me. no tactics, no heart, no subs, no invention, no motivation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Villa player within 50 yds of Hogan. Why buy Lansbury and Hourihane and ask them to play like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 We don't need amazing results, we just need a few here and there. I don't see where one comes from. I don't know who the replacement is however. I'd look on the continent again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Utterly clueless no ability to change in game or with subs which when you set us up wrong in the first place means we're in the shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take you up on this but as the team appear to be incapable of defending and they get paid for it I don't see why I should defend anything every again unless I am getting at least £15,000 a week for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not even the percentage play. He's banking on Chester, Elphick and Johnstone keeping them out for 90 mins Relegation is a very real possibility under Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
