KHV Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Does he do any **** work on what do do without the ball?? Opposition players pick the ball up their own half and run forward about 40 yards every **** time, we just stand their watching and admiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day I started the season thinking that 17th is the goal and we're on course for that. But I'm genuinely not confident we will stay up and that's because the spine of the team is weak from central defence to centre forward, it's just really weak. A pt at Sheffield would be fine.

Keyblade Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Needs to give McGinn a breather. He could have taken him off at 60 mins today, on a yellow card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Under pressure now. Don't care what anyone says. Today was embarrassing and alarming. Our defence is so bad it's unbelievable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Showing his inexperience to me, yes Leicester are a better team, but that second half showed he had no idea how to change a game. Not sure what the thinking of giving him a 4 year contract was, but although I like him as a person and Villa man, not sure he is gonna make it. Will Edens and co be happy for us to sit in the relegation places after 150 million of there money spent, not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The failure to address us bottling leads is a major one. We also look like we are light years away in terms of fitness with some of the teams we have come up against. Is anyone really surprised by that, though? We're newly promoted, shed loads of new players, lacking attacking options... We've got a lot of work to do to get where our fans think we should be. Patience and understanding is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Gonna keep it simple this time. Simply not convinced that Smith is tactically a good enough manager at this league. I'm fine with his scouting, but that's pretty much the only aspect of his game I'm happy with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get trounced at Bramall lane We cant even track midfield runners, when the Sheffield centre halves come bombing forward (lets face they won't need to mark Wesley) we are going to be all over the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We DESPERATELY need more options up top if we’re going to survive. Would you trust pitarch to deliver a top striker, after this mess ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a case of it’s not really improving either which is the problem. It’s ok identifying the fault but nothing different is being tried.

sharkyvilla Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Let's face it we got dicked by a team that's won 8 in a row and have already stuffed a team 9-0 away from home. Did we cover ourselves in glory? No, and we lost our heads, our shape was all over the place when Dean made the kind of sub that people have been crying out for this season. Ultimately I think we will stay up if we play like we did against Newcastle against that kind of opposition. I don't see any reason not to believe that. We haven't actually played that many 'poorer' teams at home and we have a good record against them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The target was 17th. We are 17th. Turning on the manager at the end of this horrendous fixture list would be stupid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are abysmal off the ball, we look slow and brainless. Leicester look super fit and hunt in packs. We have to improve this side of our game.

Wasn't he suppose to change it then. If he's sitting back and having his belly tickled by Pitarch and Purslow then what's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
