M_Afro Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Dean has never been able to get results or performances without Grealish. He got it totally wrong today. He talks about a style of play but never actually manages to deliver performances to back it up. These are all indisputable facts. Now, I really want him to prove me wrong here because I love the man. He is one of us and a top bloke to boot but I predict he will be gone by Christmas, along with any chance we have of a top 10 finish. His inability to understand the importance and composition of a coherent midfield is his biggest weakness. It will be his undoing and sadly all of ours too.

Smith did OK there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t care what he has done elsewhere. I only care about Villa. The team’s performance without Grealish have been woeful. Not average or even poor. Absolutely woeful!

Jack must have developed somewhat with Villa to become a £100m player. I take great pride in what everybody at Villa's done for him and what he’s done for us.” Mic drop. I personally think it was a bit disengenuous for Jack not to be more complimentary/appreciative to Dean/Villa. Sad thing is, some of our fans are the same. Staggering, isn't it? Villa are in the midst of an exciting rebirth, guided by Smith. And people are already clamoring for his replacement. Unbelievable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Oh yeah and one more thing . It appeared we were underprepared for the game today.. off the pace . Totally wrecked by Sarr . Ash playing winger for the first time in ages. Dean said they played like an international friendly. Well maybe Dean taking the whole senior coaching staff out for the night to Brentford yesterday evening wasnt the greatest idea. Especially with us losing 2 coaches in the last 3 weeks . Jack going , him being isolated for 10 days and our preseason being ruined by 2 cancelled games. I think he took his eye off the ball for this one. I hope he realises that now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 As long as things improve sharpish then it’s ok. Put today behind us and get a few wins and it’ll all be ok. We do need to kick on a bit this season though. We need to be beating teams like Watford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbvilla909 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Watford away was always gonna be trick match day one, no excuse for the levell of performance from us though, especially the first half we were ****. No need to panic though. The owners have a clear plan and ambition, DS knows this and he also knows what comes if he doesn't achieve the aims for the season.

KentVillan Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I despair sometimes. What’s sad is the same people who will argue for years that we need to get rid of Smith… are the ones who will turn on a new manager first. A Premier League season is 38 games ffs. We will lose some games. You don’t sack a manager (*any* manager) after a handful of bad results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today wasn't good but I can stretch my generosity to give him more than one match. Precisely why I stayed away from the match thread today. Didn't want it ruining my positivity for the season. I'm still positive, even though Deano got it horribly wrong today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
