chappy Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 On 5live just now Pat Murphy asked Mcleish about the boring football, and our manager failed to really refute that claim. "I didn't think we we boring against Newcastle or Man City". He is out of his depth, today could see it get even bleaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Good on ya, Eck. Come out fighting. I fully agree that not many managers could have done a better job with Villa this season.Err, what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bloke must have the highest boredom threshold possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is out of his depth, today could see it get even bleaker. that's what annoys me, pat murphy probably doesn't watch us that much, any villa fan would pounce on that comment with we didn't attack until a goal down vs city and didn't bother in the 2nd half vs Newcastle, everyone else just eats it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamdog Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I think McLeish is performing to the best of his ability. That's the problem: he has none. Huge bulk of the blame must go on Lerner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Good on ya, Eck. Come out fighting. I fully agree that not many managers could have done a better job with Villa this season. Looking forward to seeing how the squad rebuild goes in the summer. It will have to be a bit frugal, but there should be room for some decent young exciting players. No team with Given, Dunne, Petrov, Ireland, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor and Bent should be anywhere near 15th. Completely serious. It's nowhere near that simple.

flashingqwerty Posted March 3, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2012 if you really think that the villa squad is only the 15th strongest in the league then your as deluded as Eck is for bringing on Emile Heskey when we need to score a goal - completely ridiculous!

Mantis Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Here's what I don't understand: you say you don't think many managers could do a better job. That's implying that the squad is pretty shit and that 15th isn't far off where we should be. However, in the match thread you reckon we can easily go and beat Blackburn 3-0. It doesn't add up :?

villa4europe Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 i agree it is nowhere near that simple, but that goes back to people who look at us and our results on paper vs people who actually watch us play the brand of football is far far worse than i think any of us could have imagined and is simply unacceptable, having those players listed doesnt automatically guarantee us points but **** hell it doesnt mean we are as shit as he has got us playing either, when you look at the talent we have at our disposal and then watch us be out passed by wigan i dont see how you can come to the conclusion that not many could be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted March 3, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2012 give me 2 motnhs and i'll have that team playing better football than they do now - not problem! Not an idle comment, my pub team plays better football than villa do, and we dont have any talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand the fairly simple concept of it's not just about the players you have then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you. I just wouldn't worry yourself about it.

John_Lerwill Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 In fact I'm told (I'm only following text) that Villa should have been 3-up at h-t!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Looks like it was another quality half time team talk from McLeish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPeacock Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I don't think we'll go down this year, purely because the teams behind us are so poor. I hate to think what next season brings when McLeish has "put his stamp on the team". I'm fairly certain if we (the fans) are negative now it is likely we will be absolutely catatonic next season.

HongKongVillan Posted March 3, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2012 We could have won this by ore than 2 if we continued to play attacking football, but no, lets **** things up by playing 10 behind ball and leave Gabbyon his own. **** clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton_Monkfish Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yet again Alex McLeish has cost my club points. I detest his style of management. What's he gonna come out with in his interview I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Please just **** off McLeish. I'm sick of seeing this shit every week. He can't expect to produce shit results and people not moan about it. I think he's had a go and failed horribly. Now please give us our team back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
