And on the same basis, neither are the comments about Luna reactionary then. Not the same thing. Discussion regarding Luna has been much more balanced overall. Yes but you seem to take an exceptional interest in legitimate posts criticising his defensive ability. Isa, regarding exceptional interest, I would like to point out that you brought up Luna in a Tonev thread totally out of the blue, in an attempt to discredit me for defending a personal favourite of mine, in his own thread. I think I have a legitimate right to do that here, and I really don't understand what has made you so angry with me, but I think it's best we leave it at that. I will anyway.

So, what's his best position then? RB or something further up?

I always support him when he plays, and would never boo him or any other player we have. However, on an internet site, which I hope no player reads, I may dislike one of our players, I think.

Delph is a good defensive midfielder who covers his full back very well. He also dribbles quite nicely and doesn't panic when he gets the ball. Therefore, his first thought is not to rid himself of it, like so many of our other guys. These qualities make him valuable to us and you notice it when he's away. What he doesn't do so well is build up the play in the attacking zone. He, like our other players, is somewhat clueless as to what to do with the ball there. Part of it is that there's so little movement that good passing lanes are difficult to find. But there's something else too. I don't think he is that great going forward. He seems to disappear more the closer we get to the opponent's goal. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks so, since he always wins MotM around here.

I meant the posts were not reactionary. The same has been said all the time Gentleman.

It is not.

Because there is no way anyone can answer the question presented in the title. So, something else needs to be discussed.

Maybe sometimes. Against Manu though, we had more men in the center than them and they still scored. Why? Because our guys watch the ball instead of their man.

I agree our biggest problems are up front. Baker is worse every time I see him though. He doesn't have a footballing brain and the first goal today was just atrocious defending. What was he doing? I have no idea. He tried to shove the striker off the ball or what? Completely inept there.

Kozak is much more valuable to us on the pitch than Benteke right now. Even if we lost today, it looks like the team plays better with him up front. Oh yeah, and please not another Bent brawl guys.

I guess he didn't get the shirt.

I thought Clark played well again today. Only minus was that when he was played as LB the center was exposed badly. Baker and Herd just couldn't cope with the responsibility. Not enough size or brains. If only we had either Vlaar or Okore back... If we had both of them back, I'd play Clark as left back. Lowton - Okore - Vlaar - Clark. Our defense would be very strong I think.

Maybe you should start bagging some goals now Andi.

I understand the necessity of getting the books back on track, but God do I hate this strategy.

We get better results with hoofball. Get back to it.

A good team scores most after 80 minutes. Come on Villa, we can do it! They're weak!

Clark? What are you seeing? It's Herd and Baker again not doing their job in the middle. Baker at LB. Clark as CB would have been better.

There it is - a bit of luck... and terrible terrible decision making by a stoke player.

Herd & Baker at CB - paying the price.

Haha, it was a bit dry, but serious.

I've enjoyed this game so far.

Clark's so good again. Even at LB.

Should've had Bacuna on the pitch.

We're playing well without Benteke again. Something to it?
