The only myth shattered there is that he's "a decent bloke". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAndLoyal Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The Beehive away pub made its feelings very well known about what they think about our manager today. He's on borrowed time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yep, still no from me. Liverpool are better than us so we wont even try when we play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Whether Mcleish is our manager or not, it still wont change the fact that the club is skint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 If we beat Arsenal or Liverpool it will help his cause. But he will pick Heskey which makes that an impossibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 We are what we are, as the first half of todays game demonstrated perfectly. Unfortunately, he'll pick the side he thinks will best deal with Liverpool, not the side that best reflects Aston Villa.....the club, the team.

VamosMiAstonVilla Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Got lucky today if it'd have gone to 2-2 after bringing on Heksey OH MY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOne Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 There's still a couple of issues I had with AM today. 1. He doesn't bother taking off Petrov despite tiring out around 60th min. Once he loses energy we look out of shape and resort to playing deep/hoofing the ball more than we should. Bringing on Bannan for him would have made us still have an offensive unit. 2. He brings on Heskey for Bent when it could have been Delfouneso or Weimann. Heskey isn't going to get us any goals in a hurry and will normally give the ball straight to the opposition by falling over or his terrible first touch. Give one of the kids a shot and kill the game properly. We've been in situations before where we're 'hanging on' that could easily backfire such as the games at QPR and Sunderland. I was impressed with the first half despite the dodgy first 15 mins. AM should note we have good attacking players and realise a solid offense is the best defence. I don't wanna see us resorting back to our old ways against Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtelower Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Re Bent was was bloody annoyed he subbed him in the first place. The guy is lacking confidence and going through a lean spell (for him !). We are playing the bottom of the league side - and we have three very tough fixtures coming up. Does he stick with him, give him the "keep it going son, it'll come" - does he eck (pardon the pun). Bent must be gutted, and I dont think he will take much more of it. Have you seen Fergusun subbing Rooney when he went 9 games without scoring. Maybe our Alex could send another letter telling our manager how you man manage quality players !

Maybe our Alex could send another letter telling our manager how you man manage quality players ! There was no need to take Bent off. Yeah he missed a couple but he was getting into scoring positions. Bringing on Heskey was suicidal. If Bolton had got back to 2-2 there is then no way we could have gone and won it 3-2 with Heskey on. McCleish still needs to go asap. Against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea we will revert back to our usual 8-1-1 formation and looking at the way Stoke started against Spurs I dont give us much of a hope there. Infcat Stoke have won their last 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Liverpool next... Wonder if he's going for the Hutton in midfield tactic to try and stop downing it worked so well last time against Bale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
