"Boring boring Villa"...god we need a different dimension...get rid of Heskey and Carew in the summer... we have to bring in at least a top quality CM and striker or 2. I can see our January biting us in the ass!
Why does Petrov always have to go backwards or sideways ffs. So predictable...no burst of attacks through the middle or anything...even Reo-Coker looks more a threat than him.
Gutted today....our lack of keeping the ball was one of the things that killed us today against a very good passing side. Defense was very good...even though the scoreline might not suggest it. I too am glad Ashley is out for a little bit...he needs a kick up the backside.
You could tell we got really tired towards the end...hence the unforced errors from Milner etc.
Does anyone realise that it wouldn't hurt us to try and do sometthing in January? Now is the time us and the players really need the boost. We need that class player who can inspire the whole team and rape teams the way Arsenal did us today. I hope to God this doesn't knock the players back too much and start our decline. Let's take the game to Liverpool...and try to play to our full potential.
I don't know if i would even be to scared to see albrighton come in for Ashley...if not that...then it'll have to be 4-5-1.
Richard Dunne is a monster!!!
Milner in the middle!!! What a difference it makes, balls sliced through opposition defences...we were troubled a few times at the back...but overall we played brilliantly, some 1 touch, quick football in there...very pleasing to see.
Downing wreaking havoc....still think we should maybe take him off and bring on Delph or Reo-Coker to shore up,,,,plus preserve and protect Downings fitness!
