ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 5 January 2011
Villa's dreadful season under Gérard Houllier continues as they lose for the sixth time in eight Premier League games to make it three wins in fifteen and leave Villa stranded in 18th place in the table.
Villa drop to 18th in the table as the Houllier disaster continues. One win in ten games and eight losses surely means this most misguided of appointments needs to be terminated.
Whatever the current struggles it needs to be remembered that the squad Houllier was incapable of motivating had spent almost the entirety of the previous campaign in the top 6.
Gabriel Agbonlahor makes his 200th appearance in a Villa shirt (184 Starts) to make it W80 D59 L61, 53 Goals, 23 Assists and 18 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Emile Heskey is sent off on his 70th appearance (47 Starts) to make it W28 D21 L21, 13 Goals, 5 Assists, 6 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Richard Dunne collects his 10th booking in a Villa shirt on his 62nd appearance to make it W23 D21 L18, 3 Goals, 1 Assist and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
