HUTTON: FANS RIGHT TO BOO
Former Tottenham defender Alan Hutton has said that with Aston Villa fans have the right to boo their own team. Aston Villa have been extremely inconsistent this season, and has been very poor when it comes to the playing style.
A lot has been targeted towards the former Birmingham city manager Alex McLeish, but Alan Hutton says that everyone is at fault for the poor results that Aston Villa have been getting this season. Even though they remained unbeaten in the league during the initial part of the campaign, the huge defeat suffered at the hands of Manchester City has now extended to a number of games.
Aston Villa are currently in the 13th position in the table. They recently suffered heavy defeat at the hands of Liverpool and Arsenal at home, which have only increased the animosity from the fans. They find themselves only a few points above the drop zone and it becomes extremely crucial for manager Alex McLeish to get some games under his belt to relieve the pressure. Alan Hutton has come under intense criticism of late for his performances and also for his temperament. He has received a number of yellow and red cards this season, which have compounded the misery for Alex McLeish. However, the player has said that he will certainly improve in the future once he gets regular game time at Villa Park.
“I think it can happen where supporters forget players are human beings and think we’re just mechanical. They pay their money and they want to come and see the players on a Saturday playing to the best of their ability. For different reasons, it doesn’t happen every week. But at this club, at this level,” Alan Hutton said after the match. He is expected to be dropped for the Chelsea match.
