the optimal back 4 as you put has been there all season most of the workload was caused by TH flapping and poor kicking robles made 2 fantastic saves in the derby one at the attackers feet the other from Gerard's free kick which if you were not impressed have a look at the last one against howard sailed past him in the middle of the goal im afraid hes past it and unreliable and its time for efc to move on without him if not robles then we need to buy we can not go back to the same mess he has been a major part of all season.

im glad to see most of you want to rest naisey I think he needs it one clown after the derby match wants to drop joel for howard unbelievable.

have you lost the plot howard back he has cost us more points than any other player this season I wondered when the morons would be back shouting for timmy I hope he never plays for the blues again its joels shirt from know on and hes got about 200 mistakes in credit on mr howard as regards the derby match no leadership on or off the pitch again naisey should have gone at half time missed the easiest chance of the night jm should have gone after an hour and barry for the last 15 mins replaced by kone barkley and lennon rm wants rid of mirallas I don't I wish he was as tough with some of the others when there playing shite.

well I wanted a winger a c/b and a new keeper 1 out 3 is bad according to meatloaf

we need the football gods on our side for a change. so light a candle and say a prayer.

this would be an absolute disaster hes not a regular in a poor side at villa he is below average for the premiership not at any price a step backwards.

I can not predict what points we may get from the games listed above as ive no idea which team will turn up or if RM remembers to change things when we are plying poor ie use his 3 subs before the 89th minuet.

apparently RM said we were not selling Eto o

we have got to look higher than drawing with palace surely. even though our form suggests otherwise. and this talk about RM being more flexible according to the media is coming from the players allegedly ?.

I genuinely hope you are right I don't want the upheaval of new manager etc I just want RM to toughen up and stop being so predictable the rest of the league have worked us out.

if we sat in fifth we have achieved our potential thus far 3 or 4 points above relegation that makes all the difference? if we go on a run and finish eighth that is under achievement he spent 32 million distin had a personal problem that he brought to work apparently lukaku has had an injured foot so has been rested the poor performers like howard, barry jags have not been touched we were supposed to kick on from last year not collapse it was time for a change as regards moyes but he built from scratch RM inherited a good team and a lot of money to spend more than any EFC manager in 30 years or more im not calling for his head but he needs to change things and I don't think he is tough enough and he needs to come out and say this is not good enough. one thing he did inherit was a team that could defend at the moment we have got wigans defence.

I think all this talk of penalties and who is in form and who was crap is irrelevant apart from 2 games we have been crap since august, its now nearly February and nothing has changed, off the pitch no plan b, no leadership if he was at any other club he would be close to the door, bill does not act very quickly but I think 5 months of under achievement needs some action from above, also this talk after every match we were unlucky or a bad call from the ref has got to stop and someone has to tell it as it is. other managers criticise players rogers dropped his keeper steve bruce criticised his c/b and keeper last week, we just say everything is ok, not good enough, The mirrallas thing worry's me not because of the outcome but it shows the ship is rudder less. we are 3 points ahead of the bottom 3 and only 3 months left of the season even if we go on a good run and finish 8th its still a poor season he has turned a top 6 side into a bottom half of the table side. why haven't we bought a keeper or cb or winger we have heard today just how much sky pay us, also if funds are low sell one of the under performers and do something positive stop letting everything just slide.

RM was right to come out and not slag marallis I think what he did a half time said it all. but to come out and say the first half was good, and what he wanted and he was just a bit disappointed in the second half is ludicrous. we were awful no idea how to break them down this was WBA not brazil Barkley had no impact Naismith was crap rom got no service no one run the game then he takes the best player on the pitch off he should have taken Barkley off a lot earlier and brought cone on for half an hour I think the worst decisions are off the pitch . 1 win in 12 games says were we are.

yes but its only one game against 5 months of dire performances and I only said that about robles because I know how our manager works you will no doubt have noticed I have been a critic of tim for a long time but I know as soon as he is fit he will be back in so I think we another keeper with experience to be a dominant number one. if you recall I have been shouting for a change of keeper all season but as bad as howard was playing RM would not drop him. we still need a cb as stones is injury prone dystin is to old and jags apart from last night is struggling and alcaraz I don't rate we need pace up front as mirallis can not keep doing it on his own and I think we will be lucky to keep him come the summer. I was in no way criticising robles.

despite the great effort that was 5 months overdue lets not forget we lost again we are in the worst run I can remember for a long time we are 3 points above relegation and need to buy some one with pace up front, a cb and a keeper I still think despite his good game last night as soon as howard is fit he will put him back in and would be disastrous. we need a strong number 1 and we need to change training tactics and learn to defend corners and if RM says we don't need to then hes not the man for the job.

great spirit shown my only question is were the fuck has that team been for the last 5 months

get in you bute

cleverly is another john ebbrell mangers pet carnt tackle carnt shoot always negative backwards sideways he has struggled to get in villas crap side keep away.

peter Reid and Andy gray where not a gamble one was the best uncapped m/f the other was proven goal scorer with a wealth of experience no comparison with Lennon.

we missed a trick with valdes im sure Martinez could have persuaded him to come as first team keeper no fee to pay so could afford the wages. Then again that would be defensive minded.

we need pace up front not another plodding cart horse agreed he can score but we have got that we have no pace except marallis

i thought he was the golden vision

I forgot Duncan McKenzie not a prolific scorer but great entertainer worth the entrance money in the dismal 70s
