He also kept us up when we should've been relegated! Edited July 7, 2020 by Villan_of_oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the kind of thing that make me think over people's heads ought to be on a plate first. Our summer signings were shit. Our January business was even worse.

We needed a lot more. Unfortunately FFP is a bitch and we can realistically only spend so much. So... even with the squad we assembled you still thought we'd finish 12-15th?

If the recruitment next season is another failure we ain't getting promoted. Not a chance. There is no way our squad this season is worse than last season. There is also no way we lose Jack, Luiz and McGinn. By the way only a few weeks ago you thought Luiz was absolute rubbish so why would you be bothered if he did leave. I think we will keep everyone that we want to keep, bar Jack. All we need to do is appoint a decent manager. Preferably one who has managed a but higher than the dizzy heights of Walsall and Brentford. We are Aston Villa ffs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what kind of a season he's had though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a high ceiling but seems he is an impact sub at Milan at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I dont buy that the squad isnt good enough. Utter rubbish. Worse sides than us are comfortably safe. Any group of players are capable of not getting relegated from the PL. The buck stops with Smith. He hasnt created any kind of "niche" for us. We cant defend, we cant score, dont show fight, rubbish subs, changes (if they come) never work. He's been exposed badly this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought wed be down there, spending most of the season in the bottom 3 so results wise I got what I expected. I'm more disappointed by the performances, I can deal with losing, i like attacking football and an attacking intent. So we spent £140 mill and you had doubts at the start about the clubs ability to spend it....did you declare that as a prediction?.....I think most fans were excited at having 2 Brazillians in the side, amongst other things..... you can deal with losing?, you have an advantage over me then, I loathe the very thought of it and detest it when it happens, i am a very poor loser.....and when we can't win, i want us to draw.....i hate losing. We all like attacking football, but when opponents disposses you, turn you over and drive you back, out jump you in the air, defending is the only option.....until the lock down our approach to defending was woeful, in so many aspects.....we have improved and simultaneously lost our offensive capability.

Stevo985 Posted July 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2020 4 points adrift. It’s looking bleak. If we’ve got any chance we need to pull at least one massive upset out of the bag. And I just can’t see us doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a notion you are right, but at the same time question the players too.....I think, so many things are wrong, we have bought too many samey players and ones who struggle to press, sufficiently.....it was a summer of misjudgment once again. I hope we have deep pockets to negate the consistent cock ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
