mikeyjavfc Posted December 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2020 Not sure how all this is going to effect their squad for the weekend. They played their heart out for Bilic on Tuesday and got a deserved point away at Manchester City only to see him sacked and replaced with big Sam. I think in the long run big Sam will get them organized and hard to beat, but in the short term I think there could be a bit of anger and apathy in the squad for a week or two. Hopefully they are not fully focused at the weekend and we capitalise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing, and all that foreign nonsense. Well, read my lips — the passing stops now. We’ll stick a fat-arsed lummox up top, and launch balls at him for 90 minutes. If God didn’t want the ball played in the air, he wouldn’t have invented the sky. That’s just science.” 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on a 50% wage cut again if they are relegated so don't think they will give two **** as long as they stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 And if Big Sam doesn't achieve it he can simply walk away before they are mathematically relegated to keep his precious no relegation on his CV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, Big Sam has a mixed record in his first match for a new club: Everton: won 2-0 vs Huddersfield Crystal Palace: lost 2-0 at Arsenal England: won 1-0 at Slovakia Sunderland: lost 1-0 at West Brom West Ham: lost 1-0 vs Cardiff Blackburn: won 3-0 vs Stoke Newcastle: won 3-1 at Bolton Bolton: lost 2-1 at Norwich 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 He wants James Tomkins (there's one for the forgotten players thread). Thought he was older than Ivanovic but actually only 31. Been out injured for Palace since February but made the bench last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take this example. No mention of their relegation under him the season where they had no win in 20 games. It looks impressive to smash the lower league when you've come from an upper division.

TrentVilla Posted December 20, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 20, 2020 How refreshing to hear a manager come out and be honest about a red card for one of his players, fair play Sam. Sounds like Livermore is going to get a bollocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Imagine waiting over 34 minutes at home to register a shot on goal. Toothless, cowardly, talentless bunch. They will be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
