Villa sack smith

[Titchfieldbaggie]

Who do Villa think they are? Spent a few hundred million, backed by billionaire owners, stated ambition of european football - probably answers the question.

The manager usually cops it if results don't go the way the moneymen want, but the manner of several performances have been a concern plus players fighting amongst themselves. All isn't well behind the scenes as well as the circus around Grealish's move 3 weeks before the season started and with some new signings unfit, Covid, injuries, international breaks have all player their part. All of that aside - the players just haven't turned up and given their all for 90mins in my view, but can't be sacked.

I don't know of any Employment Contact other than footballers, that do not have performance related clauses in them. The clubs have just rolled over under pressure from the players and their agents. Time to put pressure on the high rollers I feel

One match - what about every other match! Chorley beat Derby last season but are they better?

As you have mentioned last seasons squad - Gallagher, Okay, Maitland-Niles, Pereira, Krovinovic, Hegazi - nobody anywhere near this quality in the current squad. Are you saying there is?

Even Austin and HRK are miles better than Zohore and Hugill FFS!

My point is they can do it with the right coaching and tactics and playing a system that suits the players at the managers disposal

Val doesn’t seem to realise he hasn’t got the players to play his way and won’t change it to suit what he’s got

Square pegs into round holes doesn’t work

[kettering_baggie]

Yes, and Hugill is miles better than Zohore!

11 of yesterdays squad were in the match day squad that beat Chelsea 5-2 last season away

8 of them in squad that drew 1-1 away at Man City

So if they could do it then why can’t they do it now ? 🤷*♂️

Man management tactics ?

You know you are clutching at straws like they were in the match day squad.

When all and sundry know that that means nothing, as those on the pitch got those results not those with splinters in their backsides.

Exactly Blood! Don’t hear from this poster when we win! Val is not perfect but still say he’s doing a decent job with a talentless squad! Pereira was our last piece of magic and creativity!

Fulham and Bournemouth do what we don’t and it’s called invest! Mowatt is our best player now and he followed Val from Barnsley FFS

Not to mention that you're all a bunch of inbred c???s.

Really, wow,ALL of us?! That'd take some doing, you'd almost not have to be inbred to orchestrate that. Once again another expletive classless, ignorant reply from you in a thread that's about clubs not fans.

Our squad is worse now than the megson first promotion squad. Val wasn't first choice but he has got us in 3rd when in reality the cr ap sheff utd start stops us from being 4th.

Lai is a c unt who is clearly now stealing money coming in from transfers both by getting undeclared money from the Hegazi and MP transfers to the middle East and also just taking what is actually declared here.

The b astard really is showing his true colours now.

The fans are the club and your fans are c???s.

It's only a expletive if your see it as that.

If val is such a good coach/manager why does he persist with picking players that are crap week in week out ?

If you haven’t got a CF target man that can head a ball and control a high ball to him why do we week after week persist inputting crosses and high pumps up field to the said crap CF’s ?
