Villarocker Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 1 hour ago, useless said: The same posters who were saying that finishing seventeenth would be a great achievement and we shouldn't be expecting any more, now saying that the squad is rubbish and we've wasted a load of money on it, despite the fact that we're still well placed to achieve that seventeenth place finish only being two points off with eleven games still to play and us having a game in hand over those arounds us... The squad isn't rubbish, the problem is that they were all signed at the same time, so are all learning and adapting together, so it's going to take longer for them to improve indvidually as they're in an inexperienced team, if you took any of them out of our team and put them in a more experienced team they'd look a lot better. Can I just say, for the record, I was happy to take 17th at the start of the season and not once have I written any player off - I think. For me, it has purely been a case of too many new boys, in a new (top) league, in a new country that has cost us. I think we needed more experienced heads on the pitch going into the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well having the 2 fullbacks stand 2 yards from our centre backs as Citeh endlessly ping the ball out wide for a start is ridiculous. Never mind the set up and defending from crosses again. Basic. Basic. Basic. Citeh are a great side. We gave away basic goals every single week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Should be 1-1 in a cup final vs best team in England last 3 or 4 years. A team on for 3 wins in a row in this cup. Yep he should walk now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 If anything the team have shown they are capable of staying up after today, all about consistency now. Big if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thought Smith got it spot on today against a very good Man City side. Disappointed to see some of the comments in here which I think say more about the poster than Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not see Silva and Gundogan stood just inside meaning they had to come narrower every single time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Good performance from Dean. We'd have been 1-1 and then won that from our corner on another day. Can't fault him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when us fans see performances like that and against Leicester, there's no wonder fans are pissed we are so close to going back to the fizzy pop league. Why can't Smith get it right in the League, I wonder? Players have proved time again they have what it takes, Smith cannot manage the consistency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Felt like he got pretty much everything spot on today... the one thing that I am still hesitant on are his subs. Why not put Davis on with Samatta (and take off Nakamba etc) when we're chasing the game in the 80th min. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Good performance. Robbed by a poor decision from the referee. Carry this form through to the rest of the league and we will win enough to stay up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
