ClaretFondu Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Are our players even aware they're in the relegation zone? Fannying around like we're 10-0 up. No sense of urgency whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgs Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Well that rather petered out. Weren't really a threat from the instant the half-time whistle blew. For perhaps a tad over a third of the game we looked a decent Premier League side. Alas, youthful (read: stupid) mistakes nearly (Bannan to Suarez) and then actually did (Baker on Suarez) do us in. Had ref Mason been watching Carragher closely at set pieces we'd have had at least one penalty, but I don't think we deserved much more than zero points on the whole. If it wasn't for Guzan they'd have had a few more, which is a common refrain for a Villa fan. I figure the 17th-placed team will need 38 points at the end. Massively important to us is the next Sunderland appointee... it's between us, them and QPR. Wigan seemingly always squirm out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 We need 4 points against Stoke and Fulham I think we will get 3 this is gonna go down to the last day of the season against Wigan no doubt about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Ah, it's the old Paul Lambert "Thought first half we were excllnt" line. Unfortunately, mate, the game lasts 90 minutes. Edited March 31, 2013 by briny_ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 We won't beat Liverpool at VP until Gerrard retires. Shit 2nd half performance today and to be honest I can't see us getting enough points to overtake Wigan or Sunderland. Also, why can't we just get some luck in front of goal and have a deflected shot go in. Typical that Gabby's miss from 5 yards has effectively cost us today.

sutherland Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Where the **** were the 42,000? Eh? Is this one of those "man who watched game on TV has a pop at people who actually went to the game" posts, or is it something else? I think what he really means is 'Man' we are still fcuking shite under lambert and will always will be! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually have the chance to go to a match then scream your heart out for 90 minutes a week and help the lads!

AndyBM Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 who was at fault for the penalty or was it a typical dirty scouse dive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I actually feel very deflated by that half atsed performance and result. Very unprofessional display and the players revert back to looking like they don't give a ****. Bannan has played his last game as far as I'm concerned, what a ridiculous performance that was. Gerrard and Johnson did anyone tackle either of them all game ? As for our corners, all season we've tossed it off instead of addressing the ineptness . We are back to square one and we will lose at stoke and be in big big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Wouldn't have minded a point today but the 2nd half performance didn't warrant one. Still think Sunderland are in free fall and they will go down no matter who they get as manager, Fletcher loss is massive for them. We will continue to score goals just need to cut out the silly mistakes at the back. A bit more urgency towards the end would have been nice but overall the better team won.

villianusa Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 who was at fault for the penalty or was it a typical dirty scouse dive? Baker, and a poor decision by him, was only going to be one outcome. Was a definite penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartin82 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 who was at fault for the penalty or was it a typical dirty scouse dive? Clearest penalty you will ever see in your life. Baker straight through the player with an awfully timed tackle. Awfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 On another note, Steven Gerrard is a cock. What sort of example is it for kids when the England captain is arguing with the red over a correct decision!? And the atmosphere was flat from the start. A woman (who'd obviously bought a ticket just for this game) had a go at me for standing up on the holte end. Fair weather **** fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over a 5yd pass went astray for Bannan... he didn't do one positive thing the whole game and about 30 negative things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Rev, for the record, I wasn't having a go. I'm just baffled that it was a full house today. If I didn't know better I'd say it was one of our lowest turnouts of the season. I guess you explained why that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of example is it for kids when the England captain is arguing with the red over a correct decision!? Yes... I'd like to know how it got to the point whereby any player can direct expletive-laden invective in the face of referees and nothing comes of it. Regardless of the referee's decision, this will never be acceptable. Gerrard was guilty at least twice today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
