    PROTEST?

    in Villa Talk

    Posted

    Played well today at LB but that foul in the second half was a terrible, he got no where near the ball! 

     

    Still, better than Bennett and credit to Lambert for making the change.

    Protest played at left back? I thought it was Baker!  ;)

    At least it's realistic. Villa have been on the out of form teams list every week for a while now. 

     
    Ultimate team is a bit of a pain. I like to get as many trophies/achievements as I possibly can. I've got 95% trophies for this game now but ultimate team is standing in the way of me and another platinum! Getting your ultimate team value to 85 million is one hell of a grind. I'm upto around 50 million at the moment and it's taking the piss. Bearing in mind I don't like to put my real money into it to buy Fifa points or packs. I never get anyone decent in packs anyway! Which makes it even more annoying when my mates get quality players. I mentioned in here before that my mate got Ronaldo and sold him for over a million coins! The best player I've ever had in a pack was Portugal midfielder Danny who is an 83 overall and is so common people sell him for less than 1,000 coins. I have no luck on ultimate team whatsoever.

    When people moan about "spoilers" on forums, twitter, facebook etc. 

     
    Especially forums! If something is on tv and you haven't got round to watching it yet then how about staying away from tv show forum threads until you've caught up! I saw two people arguing on twitter last night because one person tweeted about a show they had just finished watching and the person who hadn't watched it yet was moaning at them for giving away what happened! Erm... **** off!!! It really winds me up. If you don't want to see "spoilers" then stay away from social media until you've caught up. Simple!

    The difference in what they pay fighters is something that I find strange sometimes. For example, Overeem got $285,000 whereas Bigfoot Silva only got $70,000 and no win bonus! Seems harsh that does! I would have thought that Jose Aldo was the top earner from Saturday night but he wasn't. He got $240,000 which included his win bonus. The top earner was Rashad Evans who pocketed $300,000. Madness.

    I certainly wasn't expecting Overeem to lose, nevermind get KO'd like that! That is the beauty of MMA though. Apart from GSP decision victories and Anderson Silva KO/TKO victories it is pretty much unpredictable!

    We are not in a good position though. The only person associated with Villa who would get anything out of Benteke being sold is Lerner because he'd be at least doubling what he paid for him. The money wouldn't be reinvested into the team properly and we'd end up with someone nowhere as good as his replacement! There is no silver lining!

    Clark is shite!!! I've always thought that and absolutely nothing has changed. His positioning is terrible and he's too lightweight. He is not good enough to be playing week in week out in the premier league, especially in a side that is struggling down the bottom end. Awful defender! I'm not too keen on Baker either though and Vlaar isn't exactly brilliant so thanks to Lambert and the chuckle brothers we are lumbered with them regardless!

    I'm not being funny lads but to the people saying ditch 3-5-2 in favour of 4-4-2 because it worked in the 2nd half against Newcastle, you're wrong! It was more of a 4-2-3-1 in the 2nd half. Weimann came on and played wide right, not straight up top with Benteke. 

     
    For the Everton game I'd go... 
     
    Guzan 
     
    Lowton Vlaar Clark Baker 
     
    Westwood Sylla 
     
    Weimann N'Zogbia Agbonlahor 
     
    Benteke 
     
    4-2-3-1 could work for us, as long as two from Gabby/N'Zogbia/Weimann gave protection to the full backs when we don't have the ball. I'd put Delph in with Westwood but he is injured isn't he? So it could be sink or swim time for Sylla straight away. Baker at left back isn't ideal but we looked a bit more solid defensively in the 2nd half against Newcastle when the back four was as above.

    He needs to start with 4-2-3-1. 

     
    Guzan
     
    Lowton Vlaar Clark Baker 
     
    Westwood Sylla 
     
    Weimann N'Zogbia Agbonlahor 
     
    Benteke 
     
    If Delph is fit then I'd put him in with Westwood instead of Sylla but I think Delph is injured isn't he? Sink or swim for Sylla from game 1. Baker at left back as we looked a bit more solid defensively in the 2nd half against Newcastle. 
     
    I'm not expecting anything at all from this game though. I just hope it's not a hiding because our goal difference is already a joke and it's essentially worth an extra point to our relegation rivals!

    He can't be any worse than what we've already got! 

     
    QPR and Fulham were linked with him in December. Not that it means anything but maybe he's not the unknown quantity that some of us seem to think he is!

    yeah i loved it, unlike anything else ive played, great replay value too

    Yeah, it has great replay value because the story changes based on the choices that you make. From what I remember there were 4 or 5 different ways that it ended. I went through it twice, selecting different choices the second time around.
