[Archived] Aston Villa Vs Blackburn Rovers

[mark]

Who would take sams anti football back right now ?

yes please. god that's depressing.

[Balwer]

As a resident of Fulham I of course have my ticket for next week. Not looking forward to it right now I must say....

[Tom]

Andrews - Not Good enough

Grella - not good enough

Emerton - not good enough

Hanley - as yet not good enough

Steve Kean - looking the same

Very very worried right now, looking at the line up the only way we were going to get anything was Robinson keeping it at 0-0 all game.

Fail to beat Blackpool and the writing will be on the wall

We have got to beat Fulham next week and with Sparky having to get Fulham to fight for their lives I don't fancy our chances.

Andrews - Not Good enough

Grella - not good enough

Emerton - not good enough

Hanley - as yet not good enough

Steve Kean - looking the same

I know you are a big Pedersen fan TCO but surely you have got to add Pedersen to that list? Its not just today he has been truly awful, he's been like that most of the season. Look at that backpass/through ball today that should have seen us concede a goal, I can think of several games he has done something similar.

[bluefred]

kean is f-cking clueless,wene th f-ck are we going to get a football manager

[Dan]

Agreed.

Anybody at the game shouting 'Kean out' yet?

It's too late, by the time someone new came in we'd be dead and buried. Anyway, would you trust Venky's to find the right man? They did pick Kean afterall. What bloody criteria were they using??? :'(

[AHoyle90]

Very very poor display. Manager has made some appalling decisions. Honeymoon period well and truly over.

Any chance of a proper manager now?

I've got an absolutely terrible feeling that we're going into free-fall.

Ditto

[Tom]

No doubt about it now. Getting rid of allardyce was suicidal.

Not true, but replacing him with someone with zero experience probably was.

[rovers1995]

Anti-football. What's that?

I thought football was all about winning games. Sam did that

[bluefred]

salgado not good enougth

[Rovers Gals]

we are in relegation fodder now unfortunately ! do venkys not see this ??? Sam should of been kept on til summer and then see . as Sam clearly fancied a Arab job challenge and income . Steve kean should resign as manager and acept just coaching responsibilitys .

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

We may as well just play the kids, can't be any worse than this - at least they know where the net is.

[jimw1988]

hernandez just banged in a 2nd against wigan!thank christ!

[vyeo]

Appalling. In my head, I want Kean out. But I think again, and the scary thing is I have no alternative in mind that could save us. This feels like Ince all over again, except that we have no competent chairman, no competent board and no clear replacement.

Just one observation - One discernable difference since Kean took over is that the fitness levels of our players seem to have dropped. We know Hughes was big on fitness, and so was Sam. What's Kean doing in training? Has he stopped the hard fitness work and only puts on one touch passing? Not that its done our passing any good though judging by what's on display.

[Balwer]

Where's Nicko been lately, telling us how great a manager Kean is? Oh that's right, he only does that after a win.

[Guest linganzi]

What was anti football about competing in the Premier League?

Nothing, that is my point, you forget how good you had it when it'd gone.

Wigan are down with Blackpool the last place to be sorted from us Wba wigan and wolves, west ham will get out

[Blue n White Rover]

3-1 Kalinic. Why did he not start?

4-1 Young.

[PAFELL]

kean did pick the team, so yes takes the blame.

Trying to think of unemplyed managers. The only that comes to mind is Souness.

4 - 1 to villa now

[ebenrocks]

Shocking. Looked at the team before the match and thought...'f*** me thats a load of s***'. Keith Andrews and Vince Grella in midfield together? Really? i mean.... Really? That must be the worst centre mid partnership in the premier league. Its truly embarrassing to support a team with Keith Andrews in it.

You'd think playing Villa 400,000 times in the last two seasons would mean we'd have learnt something about then as a team... apparently not. Embarrassing.

[jimw1988]

thats me done watching!4-1!

[Rovers Gals]

watching reserves would be better than these , even rovers ladies better

[novella]

He has to go now. Ive tried to back kean but by god is he ######. Saw the line up and found it hard to care about the match to be honest. We look ###### with a ###### formation and ###### players.

[JMillZz]

Did anyone else, alike myself, look at the starting line up and see 0 points and near 0 chances written all over it? Santa up front alone with a midfield that was never going to provide any attacking support.

A poor backbone to the side with a lack of pace particularly in defence where we were clearly going to get demolished by Villa's pace. I'm genuinely worried about getting relegated. Too much work needed. WHY THE #### IS OUR DEFENCE SO TERRIBLE?!?!

[bonerdude]

dont we need a chairman to sack kean

[DE.]

Wonder if our resident "thinker" will cancel his appearance on Goals on Sunday after this embarrassment?
