Villarocker

I think that there's some kind of irony that Liz Truss and Steven Gerrard lost their jobs on the same day. They were both short-lived expensive failures and their mistakes could prove costly and lead to economic castrophe for years to come.

All we can hope for now is for Gerrard to get another job and take Coutinho off our hands in January.

I never want to see Gary Macallister back at our club.

Do you mean Herr Flick? No thanks. We've had enough of the Gestapo-type management under Stevie G, thanks!

I'm not a fan of Bielsa so I'm hoping it isn't him. My personal choice would be Pochettino. He did a great job at Southampton and he'd probably be a decent fit for us. However, I think we missed a trick to get some feelgood factor back by failing to sack Gerrard earlier and bring in Potter, another Villa fan.

If you're highlighting our lack of width you are going to be in for some further disappointment because we now have only one winger because of our manager's greatness.

Honestly, they're not a great bunch of players overall. But, they're better than this. Gerrard wasn't up to the task. He's obviously gone either tonight or tomorrow but, he shouldn't be the only one. All bar Cutler of his coaches should go too and, I'd also like NSWE to get rid of Lange because the players he's bringing in are just not good enough. Purslow's position also needs to be questioned.

I agree about the decisions going wrongfully against us but, in your heart of hearts, did you ever believe we would score in this game? They were one up and looking like the only team in this game to score a goal. We'd have lost anyway.

We've got to stop the flow of goals in this game. Could be damaging for our goal difference.

Well, for those that want Gerrard out, but not really hoping for a Villa defeat to get their way, now may get their way and can blame this all on the ref instead. Daft from Luiz and Cash. Sunday was Emi and Mings. The players are devoid of confidence and this will take more than manager change to save us from relegation.

Exactly! I cannot help but feel that he knows in his own heart that defeat tonight means the sack for him.

That is f**king dumb if Luiz has nutted him after trying the same the other day and getting away with that.

Gerrard probably got the numbers mixed up!

This team hasn't ever been good without Jack Grealish.

Can't help but feel we will concede from a corner. We give so much space away on set pieces.

Can someone please tell our players that their number 9 has scored the same total of goals this season as the whole of our team.

Leicester winning so we're currently a point off the bottom.

Emi and Ty have both made up for their errors on Sunday with goal-saving moments. Watching Konsa at right back tonight has been painful so far. He's so narrow at times it is obscene. He's getting drawn into the middle because that's his natural position and it is like he cannot help himself from doing it. Willian has half the pitch to himself and he's the constant out-ball for them. Even Sue Smith in commentary mentioned how narrow Villa are in the middle the park and Fulham are exploiting it. If she can see it we have the wrong scouser in charge ffs. Bednarek was poor for the goal. He stands straight and blocks that. But, he dives left and opens the goal for him to shoot at. McGinn's passing at times has been awful. Fulham simply want it more in almost every position on the pitch. They sensed blood from kick-off and Villa were like a scared victim with no ideas as to how to get out of their own half other than hoof it clear and back to Fulham. I think the icing on the cake was us having a corner and seconds later facing a 5 v 2 breakaway counter attack. That really was worse than schoolboy stuff. Bailey is poor. He's no improvement on Traore really. Can the manager please explain why we have to suffer watching Konsa at right back when we have Guilbert at the club and then follow that with why he loaned out Kesler-Hayden.

Watkins and Mings have both regressed at International level since Gerrard took over. He's the manager to ruin international careers.

If they have someone lined up I think they will sack him tomorrow, if we lose tonight. If they don't have anyone lined up I think they would give him the Brentford game as well. I think that both teams will see this as a 6 pointer. Fulham have home advantage but it isn't a scary place to go. If we play with the same energy we showed against Chelsea we should win.

Betfair have practically halved his odds tonight amidst taking bets on him. Seems that either someone knows something or, people are gambling. Thing is, at such short odds, you'd expect that people would have to bet big to make something decent back and, to do that, you'd think that to be really confident.

To be fair mate, balm can be quite slippy and difficult to control.

Question is, whether he's had a good game for us or a bad game, has he ever really looked worthy of that price tag for us?

To be fair, you're right about what Potter did, if you're referring to the half-time subs. Their defence was an absolute shambles in that first half, with Cucurella playing left-sided centre back. Once they made that change and put a proper centre back there they looked a lot better equipped to deal with our forwards.

We played well today. Our downfall was two horrendous errors. Mings had an absolute braifart for their first and Martinez just completely looked hapless for their second. Our forwards should have done far better with their chances today. We had by far the best chances in that game - enough chances to have even made up for the two crazy go's we gave away. They are not on Gerrard - that's the players. But, my god did he kill us as an attacking threat with his subs. When we had just gone two down why on earth did he take Bailey off? That should have been McGinn or Ramsey.
