Fucking detest these Villa fucking cunts, but to be fair to them, you look through that squad and it's largely composed of high-performing Champo players and PL reserves. Kudos to them.

Have to say, I'm still surprised that Nickson is around. Another legacy of the Ashley era that needs binning.

Fuck sake. Waste of fucking time.

Any truth in rumours that have linked us with Gueye?

Villa have pulled off two massive coups in Coutinho and, seemingly, Digne in under a week. I'd like to think Amanda could pull something out of the hat in 3 weeks.

The LB position is also a massive worry

Absolutely fucking hate Villa. Cunts.

Hope he proves me wrong, but he's got a massive job on his hands to pretty much build a new team spirit - all with the bunch of utter fucking losers lurking around like turds that won't flush.

51k need to have their money refunded.

God... desperate times if we're going for Chris fucking Wood

I'd love to see some of the aforementioned binned off, but Longstaff aside - and that's only via a Rafa connection - it says a great deal that nobody is coming in for the likes of Ritchie and Shelvey.

He's just signed for Milan who are competing for the Serie A title. A club that also has a long history of sticking with older players and in a slower league. He isn't going to come here.

Spot on. Couldn't agree more.

My issue with him is that he's not getting that extra percentage from many of the current lot. He's also stumbling on the most suitable formation and players to fit more by chance than judgement. Joelinton a case in point.

Whatever happens, I don't think the new owners will stick with a captain watching the ship sink. He'll be here until the end of the season at the very least, and possibly kicking off the season in the Champo, but if this shit continues he'll be out.

Central midfield is a real concern.

He's also playing players who clearly want to be off/know they're not wanted.

Draw if we're lucky

Spot on.

People are rightly pissed off at the result today. A large portion of the blame for that result lies with the manager. Maybe it's a case of some folk joining dots, and for others it's baseless negativity, but to suggest people are throwing their toys out of the pram because they're levelling criticism at an underperforming manager is wrong.

A lot of players still don't look like they know what they're doing. We've seen no real turnaround in form - Joelinton aside - to suggest that he's suddenly going to be able to get more from new players that come in. We're going to be relying on their individual ability to keep us up.

Fuck off the wage cap and pay whatever it takes to get quality through the door.

Nonsense. Overly reliant on decent players putting in a shift/being available. There's no real sense of a system being implemented to get the results we need.

Absolutely fucking unacceptable. 51k turn up to watch, and they're given this shit. Appalling performance.

In all honesty, bar a decent performance against Manure, results have been stinking
