Aston Villa: Fans reaction to the Moscow and Stoke disappointments
EGG? Face? Martin? What the hell did we witness against Stoke?
Coasting 2-0 with 88 minutes on the clock, we gave no respect to our opponents whatsoever.
Once 2-0 up we just strolled around the pitch thinking that we had won. Martin O’Neill cannot blame tiredness this time as we all know he rested eight of them to prepare for the Premier games.
After watching that performance we will not make the Champions League, we are still too close to Arsenal who must now be rubbing their hands in delight as they know we are panicking.
O’Neill has some serious team changes to think about before we play Man City as Carlos Cuellar was awful on Sunday. Every time he attempted to pass he either gave the ball away or kicked it out of play.
He has still not adjusted to the English game having played for Rangers, which is basically an inferior league.
What is wrong with Gabby? He could have easily made it 3-1 having received a perfect cross from Carew towards the end of the game. Every time he received the ball he over-kicked the pass and lost possession.
I think it’s time he was rested as he is getting too big for his boots now that he has got an England cap – very much like Ashley Young. Since being called up by Capello he has lost that edge to his game and is being sussed out by opponents far too easily.
I see that O’Neill is paying for the cost of a meal for the hundreds who went to Moscow but what about the rest of us who turned up against Stoke? I feel I was robbed. What am I going to get? A refund on my season ticket?
The way we are going we will end the season with nothing. We are out of all the cups and heading for a difficult March, with trips to Anfield and Old Trafford just around the corner.
Let’s hope O’Neill starts to get it right otherwise he might as well go.
He is too stubborn to admit that he gets team selection wrong.
We fans are not stupid, although managers and players like to think we are.
