I am not wanting him out, just saying if this carries on the owners won’t stand for it, too much at stake. He didn’t convince last season, we look as bad as pre-lockdown all of a sudden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Really, really worrying. We have 12 points though, which is good. A couple more wins before Christmas and we’ll be fairly safe. Just got to hope the bottom 3/4 keep losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted November 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2020 Lucky to be only 3 down. Let's hope our fluke 4 game winning streak keeps us up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteend1982 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 This reminds me of the Leicester game where we got spanked, conceding appalling basic set plays with this stupid zonal marking shite. It's basic simple stuff and we are still getting it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The Watkins situation worries me. It’s like we don’t know how to play him. Aside from the Liverpool game he’s barely had a chance. For £30m we shouldn’t be saying that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Said to my wife after the first four games "a team that sticks seven goals up Liverpool is definitely not going down" Think I might have spoken just a tad too soon. OK a slight exaggeration but this really is pre-lockdown Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Really poor, this is down to the sheer stupidity of giving away free kicks against the best free kick taker in the league The games gone but we must win the second half and get a little self respect back if this is not to be the start of a bad bad run Im expecting 12th but this is as poor as we’ve played in the last 18 months - the bubbles well and truly burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted November 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2020 Some might talk about Smith after that and for me despite the first four games I still have question marks about him but that 45 mins was entirely on the player. Absolutely shambolic. People will go after Targett for giving away the first free kick but what about Mings? Rooted to the floor on that free kick and letting McGinn pick up their main man in the air. Terrible 45 from him, he is so over rated at times. Then we’ve Cash and Luiz giving away utterly stupid free kicks, it’s hardly a surprise that Ward-Prowse is a bit handy at that range. Then there is Watkins offering absolutely nothing up front again. Terrible, every single one of them. Nowhere near good enough. Smith should rip them new ones at half time but not at all convinced he has it in him. Good job we had a great start because this side is seemingly one that is going to struggle based on that 45 and the Leeds game. Absolute rubbish, totally unacceptable 45 by the lot of them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osirus Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Look completely lost, they're squeezing the midfield everytime we have the ball and we've got no outlet once we have won it back Hoofing it to Watkins against Vestergaard isn't going to work, and Mcginn may as well not be playing Smith need to change this at HT otherwise it's going to be another 3/4 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads are down and we're playing like utter morons. We can't get excited about 4 wins a row and then shrug about 2 crushing home losses against teams we should be collecting points from. The win against Liverpool was a miracle and put a smile on all our faces - but this is unacceptable and they do not balance each other out. This looks just like pre-Restart. We're regressing. Of course we can. Because winning those 4 games gives us a comfortable cushion for some inevitable bad results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Madness, They hardly had a sniff in open play but get 3 freekicks and score everyone. I swear some players just go to a whole new level vs us. First Bamford now Ward prowse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is supporting your team, and then there is being deluded. We have been absolute garbage, full stop. I don't mind playing teams which are better than us and losing respectably. We don't even look a Premier League team at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a midfield, our defence looks completely disorganised, and Watkins has barely had a chance to touch the ball. We've completely surrendered. Set pieces are what's really hurt us, but they cut through us with ease in open play too. This is a collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
