And then other players will get injured when the ones who are out are back.

It’s all bullshit, injuries are part and parcel of managing a club. Bournemouth had injuries, their squad cost far less, are paid less and still outperforming us easily. Their manager isn’t bleating about it. He just gets in with coaching his team.

The injuries don’t explain the very basic lack of structure, shape and tactical naivety which we’re seeing every single week.

Our injuries are definitely a cut above what other clubs are experiencing. But it isn't entirely unique. It has happened before and it will happen again. The teams we are able to put out are more than able to scrape together points and competent performances with the right approach. The way Ange fucking drones on you'd think the team were playing every single fucking day.

The silly fucking bloke will moan about two games a week when one of those games is against Elfsborg where we're against semi-pros and have 70% + of the ball. We've had maybe 2-3 games in Europe against decent outfits who are more than a stroll. One of our FA cup games was against bloody Tamworth. Our youth team should murder Tamworth.

We were talking about rotation

Point is he didn't rotate when Ange had a fully fit squad. now with all the injuries he can't rotate - apart from Moore he doesn't trust the other academy kids - with better rotation eg Spence/Regulon for Udogie may well have avoided the latter's injury. I get Levy hasn't provided enough quality players but, Ange knew about Levy before he joined. Therefore you rotate what you have and don't constantly play the same players every game with this daft system

Whats a bald neek?

I've never foul-voted anyone.

You got foul-voted by many others last time cos you told some dude that you don't care about what people like him from the 'third world' say.

Go to therapy - work out whatever daddy issues you have mate. you'll be much happier for it.

We won't. We can't.
We're out of the league cup and FA Cup, so we'll avoid any games against the Coventry's, Tamworths, Man City's of the world.
The knock out phase of the Ropey League will be against tougher opposition than Carrierbag FC and anta's Elfs.

Our remaining league games
Man United
Ipswich
Man City
Bournemouth
Fulham
Chelsea
Southampton
Wolves
Forest
Liverpool
Spam
Palace
Villa
Brighton


I can't see anywhere there we get more than 2 in a row and, tbh, I'm struggling to see 2.

Spam, Palace and Brighton are winnable as I suspect they won’t have much to fight for.
 
Just fire this clown, villa had a squad midfielder who was on loan in league 1 last season, playing centre back for them yesterday.

I am amazed he’s still here, more dumb inaction from the owners
 
Stop moaning about a team full of 17 and 18 year old. These are the players you and the club decided to sign. Villa brought in Malen, Rashford and Asencio. Experience.

If your strategy is to buy young players, you cant then use that as an excuse. Its your own fault,

Playing twice a week? Thats football. Its the same for everyone.

There is no “injured players are back” scenario ffs

Villas injuries were more or less as bad as ours yesterday.

I don't think thats right - This is not in defence of ange I want him gone but lets take the injuries into account
Vicario, Udogie , VDV, Romero, Maddision, Solanke , Johnson - Thats off the top of my head but its not just this as if we had more players available then Sonny and Kulu aren't getting run into the ground and playing like ghosts , Also if Udogie is fit we can have Spence at RB and finally rest Porro.
Add in that Villa also had a weeks rest, but lets be honest even if you are playing 11 under 23's you don't keep making the same mistakes every game , I'm actually gutted it hasn't worked out with Ange, them first 10 games I thought just maybe we had struck gold but it wasn't to be, his style of football is not compatible with the Premier league so he needs to go.

Must be wonderful for an 18 y/o’s development to have the coach attributing defeat after defeat to having to rely on you hey?

What a leader he is. Real Aussie tough guy

When we were playing once a week, Ange was saying we weren't playing enough to get in to our rhythm. Now we're playing twice a week (with the 'tough' games being against rangers or bloody hoffenheim!) its a huge problem as well.

Almost like for his football to work it requires very specific conditions and any sort of issue causes the team to be completely destabilised.
