Well we saw what a true Mcleish side is like.
After a few weeks of good games and attacking football Mcleish fell back into normal routine. I know it is difficult to decide to attack a team like City but they were poor you know. Man city in the cold actually had little threat but Mcleish wanted the 0-0, we saw Heskey on the right to protect Cuellar and Albrighton all over the place on the left. It made no sense, I know Clark was out but bloody ATTACK them.
In the end we lost again to another bloody set piece and we deserved to. I hate the fact at home after not winning for months we went for a 0-0 and who else was totally bored by it ? Few fans would have moaned if we had gone for it and lost say 4-2 because it shows ambition at home to try and win games. Looking at Man City today was tehre anything to be really worried by ?
Of course the injury to Dunne at the end of the game could be a massive blow. If it is confirmed as a shoulder dislocation that is 6 weeks out. Defensive reserves are already stretched so we hardly needed that ! For Mcleish to say the game plan worked says it all, we bloody LOST, are we playing to lose ?
OK in the end Bent could have equalised but would have hardly mattered as we enter one of the worse home runs in our HISTORY. 140 years of proud history and it comes down to the Fulham game for Mcleish not to go down in Villa infamy. Is that really the record Mcleish and Lerner want because it is coming soon ….
Aston Villa News 24/7
Cue all the lemmings now with their “he has a better record than MON, He has a better record than GH, VTID, support the team in the 3rd div, blah blah”
We were fucking woeful, it’s only the sheer good fortune that Citeh were not at their best and yet again another fucking goal from a set piece “also not ecks fault, MON brought the players, poor ECK only earns £2m per year to coach, but if he can’t buy his players”
Fucking lemmings, club is going to pot with this fucktard in charge
Fucktard, love it! Thought I was alone in the use of such a great insult, what a pathetic pile of shit we are with him in charge, I really miss Houllier (not the Liverpool coments) but the way he was trying to bring attractive football and passers not long ball, gonna get my nans knitting counter for next match to see just how many many times we try that fucking diagonal long ball, guess what McLeish it didn’t even work once you fucknut, to all who said we are not in a relegation battle ARE YOU SURE???
He hasn’t a clue, but what’s even more scary are the lemmings who are happy to follow him because he hasn’t had bazillions to spend! Scary (prob shows more about modern football than anything else)!
Not much in the way of lemmings this eve tho, suspect that many of them are waiting for the heat to cool before backing the big ginger hope from the North some more.
Gammon Joint OUT
Total disgrace, you can’t any more than that, I’m all for giving someone a chance but he’s proper fucked about 8 chances so far, he should of been on the doll after the Spuds game!! We have international players throughout the squad so set up like a Sunday League team? Absolute joke.
100% agree chap. 100% agree
More and more people are coming to realise Houllier was a millio times better than teh clown we have now. Much much better football
Oh well, ive been saying that since Houllier took over
His comments after the game are worrying!! he thought we was excellent and we was unlucky, we couldnt spring two passes together, it was so obvious a point was what he set out for!! look what sunderland and everton did to them, Dunne & Cuellar did well today but we had nothing at all going forward, we brought ireland and n’zogbia and for me it changed but too late
I do believe McLeish gets a little too much blame on this site, but this loss rests squarely on his shoulders. His lineup was baffling. His approach equally so. Starting to join the Mcleish Out movement. But Lerner must go first.
Please can u sack Mcflump before he destroys our villa!!!!
He is hopeless with tactics and just a very poor manager I love villa and will til I die but this shit is just not what us faithful fans deserve !
As I said on a different post mcliesh is arrogant and will go out of his way to prove he calls the shots, just look at his record rangers 3rd place blues relegated twice.
The team that finished should of started and we all know why certain players didnt start. Last season players revolted and could say it was wrong but now I can understand, could you have that twat as your boss I doubt it.
Maybe its too late to make a change and not cost effective but maybe for our future it has to be done
Well 15th now we really should worry! No other way around this now Lerner you must sell the club I’m sick and tired of this!
Setting up not to lose at home is wrong, playing with no ambition for 80 mins is wrong. I left after 35 minutes for a beer & never went back – that is how bored I was. Spent the 2nd half chewing the fat with like minded Villains. This manager has to go, negative, defensive shite. I am a season ticket holder of 35 years & am considering not setting foot in VP again until he has gone & it hurts.
As a long time season ticket holder I made that decision last summer and you wont be the last.
Some fans will say support your team but I believe a no show will eventually make action with the board (hopefully)
The manager cost us that game with the way he set us up.
If the defence gets bombarded, it’s going to concede eventually, simple.
Absolutely no point picking on the defence, imo.
AM came across as a total stumbling, stuttering idiot in the interview.
And did I get it wrong, or did he refer to a “John Gardner” instead of Gary????
Dwight Yorke came as close as he could to calling AM an utter C**t and he was totally right.
Anon, you are 100% SPOT ON, Heskey, right midfield…I am still shocked, this “super man-manager” who now bears grudges…and to cap it all, he dares to tell us all how he has blooded Clark and Baker…sorry AM, GH did that, now do the decent thing and resign, because you are a tactical joke, and we are close to a massive fall if you remain.
I really don’t know how to reply mate.
I’m totally despondent, atm
Agree that AM holds grudges.
Pathetic.
And mon never held grudges?
Are you AMc in disguise?
No I want mcloser out like most people. But I just don’t think he is responsible for everything wrong with the club. For example it is mons shit defensive signings that have cost us most of the time. Having said that AM does not help himself by playing negative and sticking with that useless lump heskey in midfield.
I hear you but he has to earn his mustard.The man is employed as a head coach / managerso its about damn well time he started coaching/ managing the current players to be better. this is my major beef with him at the mo
W.T.F !!
King Carlos Left Back ( not his fault ) ??
Albrighton on the Left ??
Heskey on the Right ??
The Zog and Ireland made a difference but it was too late, another tactical masterclass from McTwat. Come on Lerner sort it out ( are you even watching your team anymore ?) before we are looking good in our new Macron shirts with npower on the sleeves
VTID
Mcleish the fuck out!!!!!
Ian, you should post the post-match interview, for once the reporter asked the right questions!
I HATE LEARNER AND ALL HIS BROKEN PROMISES.
Name promises he has broken.
I would like to start by saying well done to the 60-100 supporters who did protest against this idiot. However, those ‘true supporters’ who were going to back the team regardless where exactly were they? You could hear a pin drop from the first minute & there was just nothing-no chanting, no booing the team off, nothing. What possible enjoyment can u get out of spending your hard earned cash on that crap then just sitting there doing nothing. There is a complete air of resignation about the club.
Now onto the game, that was a total disgrace.
McLeish’s comments after the game were a joke-unlucky, what an is he talking about.
He put a team out today that was gutless, clueless & negative. It is shameful what the club has become. He is exactly what we all expected him to be-out of his depth.
Before today Ian you have dismissed any talk of a relagation battle-after that you may be changing your mind. Also, do you still think there is no other viable option than McLeish? My goldfish have more idea! GET HIM OUT.
Start with 4players out of position says it all for me total defensive even players not sure what they should br doing who can blame them also we lack a proper leader on the pitch as father jack would say fECK OFF
villa have now conceded 12 goals from corners this pl season
thats more then any other pl team this season
as well as having not kept a clean sheet in the last 14 ?
add that all to the home form at villa park in pl so far this season
and its does nt look good for AM im afraid pretty cheap
