‘Holding our own’ - is that all we aspire to be mate? And yes, for the first 60 mins I think we did alright, but we really hardly threatened. It was just a nothing performance

it’s not about an agenda, it’s just factual. If all we want to be is ‘holding our own’ against Villa away, then I give up

Come on mate we were missing 4 first team players including our two top scorers.

We have no right to be going away to decent sides like Villa expecting to dominate teams with the side we had out today.
 
Thanks mate but I will say I don’t actually dislike Benitez the man. And as a manager I think he is actually a good candidate for the way the squad is right now

that being said I see him having significant flaws and ways of thinking that I just don’t see as being sustainable in the modern game. I don’t think he’s a dinosaur, though, and I think he ‘gets’ the club. I just think ‘getting the club’ is way overhyped

100% though, our squad is dead thin in certain areas and that today is not on Benitez
Toff, you’re probably the most sensible poster on here but I disagree with it wasn’t on him. Yes, excuses will be made that we had a couple of people out which is nothing new. Last season we had 8 people out and set up with a specific way of dealing with it.

But there was certain areas whereby villa looked to exploit and nothing was done to address it.

And the fact he played Iwobi up top from 60 minutes was Martinez levels of ridiculousness.
 
We were holding our own at 0-0 with 4 key players missing until that clown Digne gifts them 2x soft goals.

People need to get over their personal agenda against the manager and realise he's not making us a top 6 team with that paper thin squad and awful mentality of a number of our players.

Digne was a disgrace tonight.
No more a disgrace tham Rondon.
Or Godfrey , or Iwobi.
 
Bluelouie was clapping as the goals went in today, after the match he went into his cupboard and helped himself to his celebratory tin of werthers originals, sat him self down in his favourite match day armchair with scum imprints on the arms and started sucking away as he opened the Benitez thread.

Enjoy your night Louie RAF IS THE GAF
Another day nearer his departure.
 


There have been blues who have turned coat and gone to the dark side in the past, some of a high profile too. Such is life.

I've never witnessed anything like the traitorous behaviour of some over recent times though. The shame!

Doesn't matter if you are a blue, half blue half red or whatever, the manager got it wrong v Villa.
 
Err lads, getting a tad heated in here, friendly advice that you might want to take the temperature down a bit on the personal insults or log off yourself before the decision is made for you.

Goat went verbally postal on Benitez and had a thread locked earlier.

If Goat has gone off the reservation, we are well past the point of reason. You can't reason with people in that state. I tried for two decades. It didn't work out well.

I commend you and FB92 for trying, but it won't end well.
