Here my 2pence worth on the debate of if we deserve to go down or not, my opinion is yes we do a couple of reasons
1 Our whole game is based on Jack since football has come back he dosent seem to be at it all, he loses the ball and puts his hands his hips (anyone see the spurs game last night what happened with son and the keeper because son didn't track back) there Not fighting for there life's
2 Jack knows he has a move regardless what happens to us so is giving 100% ( I don't think so not half the player he was at the beginning of the season
3 we are relying on Davis now to get us goals to keep up this is somebody who is still learning his trade and never scored a prem goal we didn't we didn't we buy a proven striker in January or even a loan
4 since the lockdown 1 player is giving every thing for the cause luiz covering the ground and putting in a shift for the full 90 mins
5 our recruitment in the summer was shocking we baught 3 centre halfs when it should of been Cahill and mings we should have prompted 1 of our youth's
6 our wingers are like headless chickens el Ghazi hardly put fear into the championship defender's last season jota I'd is pinching himself I'd say he can't believe he can call himself a prem player
Go down rebuild it may take a season or 2 to get a hungry squad that wants to put in the hard yards just like Sheffield
Don't get me wrong here I want us to stay up but does this squad deserve to, no not for me
We needed to buy Cahill, Ings, benrahma, lolly, and 2 good wing backs
My last opinion on the game on Sunday I don't think we played that well because do you really think Liverpool were 100% at it, no hope there minds are already on the beach they boys there Sandles on already, we huffed and puffed like we have done all season all bar 1 game against city in the final if they played the 5 games with that attitude we might have a chance.

Thanks Dave, been reading here with interest, regards Deano getting the sack or not, some make very good points others are just here for the pics take and write something just for the sake of it,
My opinion is yes he stay next season if we go down let HIM bring the players he wants there will be a rebuild but isiant this What we do as a club getting wrong and start again, As a club aston villa has let the fans down go back 10-15 years ago you would look at fixture list to see when we played United Liverpool arsenal they were the teams that we struggled to beat not Burnley Norwich and the likes, We here so many of the big boys inside villa park talk about us been a big club the facts are we NOT anymore, big clubs stay at top United Liverpool Barcelona Madrid they might have a blip for a season or 2 but they climb back up, We are living of history the past we have done nothing or won nothing 25 yrs plus

Unless we stabilise as a club well then for me are going to be a yo yo club that's why smith needs to kept let him build something
O NEILL tried to build something Randy sold him out we were exciting to watch and just missed out on champions league maybe that could have been our turning point
Sherwood was another manager I like and did a good job with the players he had if smith gets the sack I'd like him to come in, because he will give our younger lads a go
Look at United how many youth players are in there squad this is a club that can go out and buy whoever they want Chelsea the same, is our youth set up that bad that we don't have a winger better than the 2 that start week in out, do we not have a young Hungary midfielder that will give more than drinkwater and lansbury why did we realise so many young players lately if they weren't going to make it why wasn't this spotted before now, as a club it's like we will try this and if it work if not sure will come up with something else.

Very true IV, over the last few weeks we have pretty much touched on everything you have said, and I totally agree, we are a shambles again.
I would have to disagree on Sherwood being manager again, not enough experience for me, and his record is not good enough if we are to progress at all.
