Well, the whole theme of this was going to be about how poor we are.
But we did look pretty good for a while, a period which started with Bacuna hitting the post, with Ayew scoring from a decent shot, albeit it was deflected.
Unfortunately that period only lasted five minutes, so the general theme still stands.
You mention any negative you like and we demonstrated it tonight.
We lacked creativity, we lacked guile, we lacked craft, we lacked dynamism, we lacked skill, we lacked desire, we lacked quality, we lacked direction and most importantly we lacked confidence.
Fair enough, you could probably leave Ayew out of that, as he looked pretty good, but overall the rest of it was so poor I just had the feeling that we’re going down this season.
For once I got the score right so it wasn’t entirely unexpected, but it was the nature of the performance that disappointed me and we frankly look a team in disarray.
I didn’t really want to talk about Remi Garde, as I was hoping to write something about him tomorrow, but I’m afraid I’ll be amazed if he can turn this team around.
I think the one thing that worried me about his appointment, even more than having no Premier league experience, is the fact that he has no experience in dragging a squad by the scruff of it’s neck and changing it’s mentality; something I think that’s needed.
The Sky pundits are suggesting we looked better in the second half, but when you consider we were truly awful in the first half, it’s really not saying much.
I think we’re doomed and I just hope that Lerner and Fox appointed Garde with a view to getting us promoted.
On that performance I don’t think we have a hope in hell of staying up.

I know that feeling, although I haven’t gone that far yet.
Here’s hoping things improve mate.
really surprised we haven’t seen gabby’s retirement from football after the piss taking on sly sports last night he cant get another chance surely, also did you get to see the ref celebrate the first goal last night
Having watched the game last night only 1 new signing in the starting line up. Why not start with GIll on the bench!! E
We looked much better when he came on.
I personally would drop Guzan, Hutton and Gabby as all three are not good enough.
Hutton can’t cross a ball, Gabby 8 touches of the ball says it all and Guzan well his performances say it all. I thought after conceding after 3 minutes we not only gifted Spurs a lead but then found ourselves chasing the game. We can take some positives from our second half performance ( GIll coming on) and build from that. I noticed Garde shaking his head a hope he was thinking the same as every VIlla fan at the moment ( What a shambles)
I still remain confident we can just about survive as I see a group of players when organised will beat teams around us. AS a season ticket holder I watched all our home games and although we’ve been poor the other teams have not been much better.
We all need to be positive and support the new manager. A couple of wins will bring confidence and lift us. Can’t see us beating Man City but there’s still a lot of games to come.
