HawK

Although rarer, there are numerous examples of world class centre forwards who couldn't outrun Boris Johnson.

Why? Massively overrated, and a terrible record at Wigan and Everton. He won a cup with Wigan. And FSS, they're Wigan. We're not. Everton has been patchy, for sure. But, you can make a case for him: - He's managed in the lower leagues, so he knows what it takes. - He actually has a football identity. He knows how he wants to play, even if it doesn't always work out. He's trying to implement a system, not just field the best 11 and hope for the best. - He works with younger players and isn't afraid to get them on the pitch. With the state of our squad/recruitment we could certainly use some of that. - His ridiculously positive attitude might actually help in turning around our team of bottlers. He wouldn't be my first choice. But he's got some selling points and I think he'd be up for it. The cup win means nowt, McClaren won a cup for boro, Pardew could win it with Palace. His Wigan side were consistently terrible, pretty much 4th bottom year after year, yes they are only Wigan but Steve Bruce had them top half. His teams have no idea how to defend and are pretty shocking going forward. Just look what he has done with Evertons most talented squad for years. Keep well away. Can't escape the fact that regardless of his recent history he'd still be the better manager on paper than most of our previous managers post-Robson.

"We're" Eh? our fans weren't chanting that

Down with the Villa, you're going down with the Villa!!!

Aye Mitrovic has been a massive improvement Still defends starting Cisse even after his 'performance' He was s*** but when the replacement is just as s*** it isn't a decision that "might have relegated us" I disagree actually, both have been shocking - Cisse ever since he returned from injury, and Wijnaldum since December, no surprises really. What's surprised me is that one of the best managers in the world wanted to start them ahead of others, like De Jong, Perez, Mitro

oi

Championship could be the making of Mitrovic

Don't tell his fans that. Done more in 15 minutes than Cisse in 50. All he's done is give the ball away and miss a sitter, so same as Cisse really Don't tell his fans that. Done more in 15 minutes than Cisse in 50. All he's done is give the ball away and miss a sitter, so same as Cisse really Mitrovic controlled a long ball and passed to a team mate. Cisse hadn't even done that once. They're both not up to it. If we had Defoe instead of these two we'd be staying up. No argument from me, said that in another thread a couple of weeks ago. The reply I got was quite curt though, along the lines of 'but we didn't sign him so what's your point?'

Mitrovic controls one long ball and passes it to a team-mate. Cisse couldn't manage that all game.

Unlike Cisse then.

'You're coming DOWN WITH THE VILLA, DOWN WITH THE VILLAAAAAA' So true

Wow

Off-the-ball player, like Cisse.

Shouldn't have picked that crock of shit in the first place.

Oh Cisse, that's now, what 8 times you've done that. Twat.

Cisse passing straight to opposition? Shock horror.

Our team has neither a striker who can hold the ball up nor a midfielder with the touch or vision to find space between Villa's defence and midfield and receive the ball. It's very much a defend well and hope for a Villa mistake approach. We have both ffs, on the bench.

Cisse, just as I was thinking, christ he's actually controlled a ball and going to keep possession, launches it neck-height into Andros Townsend from 10 yards away. Absolute crud.

Cisse ? I'm not surprised by Cisse's performance either, if that's what you mean, questioned his selection before the game too. It was Cisse with the shot not Sissoko Oh right, well the commentator said Sissoko and I don't exactly have HD if you'll forgive me

Magic shins.
