That's it on the head, it's that lack of acumen to get your ideas and football knowledge over to players, not laziness on their part imo. Past players who are now Managers like Rafa, Eddie and Mourinho who were never elite or higher level players for that matter, so despite never having the same playing experience, they can. It's the same as some of the merry go round managers, until owners see those managers and their abilities are not good enough, they'll stay on carousel. And, continue to be picked for jobs for who they are.

How an earth can any of you accuse Lampard and Gerrard of laziness, thinking they're too arrogant to try hard, just plucking that accusation out of thin air. They're just not good managers, it's doesn't mean they aren't trying or working as hard as they can. One thing iwould day is true, they got their jobs on who they are, not their ability as managers, and even then Lampard and Gerrard first jobs went OK, so it wasn't a complete surprise they got big jobs. They're both just not good at the higher level.

See you about Wednesday lads

One thing i think it shows, it shows just how we really do need a proper defensive midfielder who spots the danger and is always in those spaces.

Luckily it won't have affected a thing as it was so good in the first place eh ?

You know, sometimes the other team have just been better, and Villa have been far better than us, it happens.

Fuck you man

You are a twonk.

I'm going for me, just watch.

Who's offering odds on which two posters have best argument in the next two hours as the mental overreactions go into over drive

Everyone has a real bad game lads and it's taken us until mid April to have one, it's how we react next week. There's no need to over react we haven't suddenly become a bad team.

All game they've been diving and falling over, absolute wankers and the ref is just pathetic falling for it over and over, usual standard mind.

Aye, he's a good player, becoming a great one if carries this on, he just improves season after season.

Did someone say Watkins wasn't all that earlier, he's been brilliant, movement, holding it up and finishing. Best player on the pitch, we've been awful, beyond awful to actually, worst we've played under Eddie.

Their movement is killing us, we need to dominate the ball to take that away. Hopefully Eddie makes the changes to facilitate it.

Villa 1-1 Newcastle Chelsea 2-1 Brighton Everton 1-0 Fulham Southampton 1-1 Palace Spurs 2-0 Bournemouth Wolves 2-1 Brentford Man City 5-0 Leicester West Ham 1-3 Arsenal Forest 1-3 Man United Leeds 1-2 Liverpool

I think people who are critical of him maybe forgetting he was a sub being subbed. That isn't a nice thing to happen in a footballers mind, and of course being a bit petulant is not good. However Eddie dealt with it there and then, it's over with now.

Maguire is a fecking jinx like

If that's an Achilles injury i feel for the lad, glad Man Utd will miss him but not like that, such a long term horrible injury.

Most players subbed on and then subbed off will get the hump, it's one of those things as a player you find kind of upsetting, even in park football. Eddie will deal with in the right way, not that there's anything to deal with anyhoo. Nothing to see and we move on to Villa away.

I do love an over reaction in the morning. 'Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now (1979)'

Sean is one of the many reasons we're 3rd, his improvement under Eddie has been brilliant and if he continues to improve getting rid of him is madness. We add a player alongside him for rotation and competition, not to replace him, that may push him on more. Aye the team might out grow him, but that's nowhere near yet.

Then we let one in Bet he was raging at half time.

I think he wasn't happy last night despite the scoreline, we were sloppy in possession at times, and he was having a right go at Schar for some long balls I think, defo had words with him during that little break in the first half. That's so good to watch, him never being quite happy with performances, always looking for improvement, always wanting more.

I'm amazed at us, we're great. All down to Eddie Howe and his staff, getting these players how they are, we're so so good
