Does Malky ever set the team up to score a goal?!?

Let's be honest, the football is dreadful. It's non-existent. I know people say Malky is setting up not to be overrun but if you don't try to score and the other team do you are always vulnerable to late goals from teams busting a gut to get a goal. Iv'e heard people say that Malky is just waiting for Cornelius to return before playing two-up-top. I doubt it. We only look to score set of set-pieces and in the summer we went and spent 9million on a player nicknamed "Corner" because of his set-piece threat. I can't see us improving at all. And I can see why other fans think we're a poor team. We are. Poor.

I seen our team today and it's no surprise that team couldn't score. No Kim, no Mutch no real creativity. Malky does this from time to time playing a team that's just makes no sense at all.
Chelsea or man City away I could understand but not against a team midtable and who struggle at home.

And still no Cornelius

You have to laugh at people like you, how else would you set the team up away? Got all out attack, we had 60% possession by half time, we are just lacking a goal scorer and a winger, that's hardly Mary's fault. It's something that can be sorted in jan

Cornelius came back from injury few weeks ago with no game time, not even bale was thrown straight in after injury wake up

that's one to forget son

we had a lot of the ball today our players just don't seem to wanna know in the final third, bellamys well past it!! odemwinges always offside needs to time his runs, cant believe we lost 2-0 villa we're f*cking terrible and i can see why they don't win much at home and IMO marshall should of done better with that freekick his feet didn't move when it was quite obvious where it was going!

The commentators on the live stream said we came "devoid of ambition". It's pretty hard to disagree. I wouldn't be suprised at all if Tan has one eye on what happened with Southampton and Adkins last year. Let's be honest, as much as Saints fans were pissed, would any of them take Adkins back now?? Or better yet, how many of then do you reckon are still pissed he was sacked for Pochettino? My guess: zero.

Not Malkys fault? He spent a lot of money and these areas should have been sorted.
To many defensive players today he had the option of Kim and much even Noone is being ignored. We don't need to go all out attack but we do need players playing who can create.

Malky doesn't always get it wrong and is a good manager but today the team lacked creativity and that was obvious from kick off.

Maybe, I still think malky should atleast be given a chance til jan. There are defo 3 teams worse than us, once we sign a winger or 2 as bellers really struggles, and a goal scorer we should be fine, as our defence is pretty good just facall up top

We seriously need wingers, bellers just don't cut the mustard as a winger

We were piss poor today. Feckin frustrating

BoobyBlue try to use your head now: Football doesn't operate in extremes you don't have to either not create anything or go "all out attack" for want of your cliched phraseology. The commentator used the term "devoid of ambition". That means, we essentially came with the intention of NOT trying to win. Now I'm not saying you should attack, attack, attack; I'm merely pointing out that if you have NO plan to score then you CAN'T win. And that makes you vulnerable to teams that will try and score when they are in desperate need of 3 points al la Villa today. So, in truth, I have to laugh at people like you who don't seem to think to understand that and if anyone suggests we need a route to goal they're instantly lamented as crying for "attack, attack, attack" - which, as I've outlined for you here, is not actually the case.

We aint gonna score many goals

Our attacking options are dire, that's why malky sets up,so defensively. I can't see how else he could set up with the players we have at the moment. And there's nothing wrong with setting up for an away point, any point away is great

I have not critisised malky before today,but the line up didnt fill me with hope today! Thought we could get a win@villa(humble pie is nasty!)bellamy is blown,cowie offers nothing apart from graft.I think kim would have created today but not given a go! Even mutch on from the start?next two games could well decide malky's future now,or tan decides to get rid during the break!!

2 shots on target and that was from the first half. We are only a threat from set pieces and we don't look like scoring whatsoever from open play. Next chance of a point is at Stoke, but we need to be more attack minded to get even that. Noone is a threat from open play, but sits on the bench. I would have brought him on and replaced Odemwingie (who as been poor of late) and given Villa something to think about. To sum up; we are far too predictable, offer little from open play and don't shoot enough from outside the box area. At the moment, there's no width or pace in the side to trouble the opposition defenders. As usual, our pacey and tricky winger sits it out on the bench. Expect a thrashing from United and Arsenal at home. I think we could have got something out of the game today, but Malky's defensive tactics are too rigid for my liking.
