^^^^^ ? Where is that from?

I think he is the irish Lizarazu

I like these links! I would like a big bad ass defender in the Christopher Samba mould.

I dont like Mcleish that much, I was always willing to give him a chance, I still do. But, for his defence, he picked the team that 90% of the VT:ers wanted before the game, we all liked that!? The players doesnt perform = the manager gets the shit? I know that is how it works... But surely the players MUST be the ones taking the most shit from the fans? In this case I blame the players more than the manager. For the record, I have not seen the game.

I wonder if Gary gets the nod over Barry Bannan if Petrov isn´t fit? Oh, wait a minute, it´ll probably be Heskey since he is fit again...

I think N`Zogbia will score today.

Keep it up Stephen. Superb performance. Long may it continue.

Forget the past, look forward. He has been bloody good this season, no doubt about that. His attitude is spot on, puts his body on the line, blocks shots, tackles well and has stopped with giving away those silly freekicks and penaltys. Thats it, now I have cursed him. Look at him giving away a penalty today.... :bonk:

Ok, so I see you know exactly how these players WILL develop. Interesting.

Maybe, maybe when the season starts in 2013/2014 the kids will be ready to fly and we could line up team like this: Given new RB ? new CB? new CB? new LB? Herd, Clark Albrighton/N´Zogbia/Bannan - Gardner - Agbonlahor Bent/new striker If we could put together an experienced back 5, I´d really look forward to that team in a couple of years.

Good post, I have high hopes for almost all of them. It´s probably just Delfouneso and Delph that I have questionmarks for. The kids are our hope to compete at a decent level in a few years.

We will do pretty good. Play a pretty even game and finally lose 2-1.

Boring.

Credit where its due, he had a good game last night.

This! He was really good last night. He sat back alot though clearly on the managers orders, both him and Petrov never really got forward. Would like to see him get a little bit more involved further up the pitch, maybe that´ll happen when we play at home?

Dembele is a great player would love him here. As for Dembele + cash for Bent, hell yeah.

I just want this season to end, and hope we atleast finish in the 17:th place.

I like this lad, he has some kind of Scott Parker energy about him. He will turn out to be a very good player IMO.

Well, they probably laugh as much at us at the moment as we do at them...

What.a.****.weekend. Köln-Gladbach, 50000 people and I was there....Super. Dortmund-Schalke, 80720 people and I was there...Super. The Dortmun-Schalke game was something really special and "the yellow wall" - WOW! Gareth, Gladbach were absolutley awesome, totally thrashed Köln playing some really nice football too! Reus, Hanke, Hermann, Arango, The keeper (Ter stegen?), Dante, Nordtveit good good players all of them! And super fans. I´m starting to grow a soft spot for them, they are cool. Oh, and Marco Reus, what I wish for Villa to have a player like that. Or Goetze for that matter.....

Even Deano is amazed Pretty much sums up what we all know, sooner we get rid of this lazy robbing git the better. What exactly has Beye done wrong? Was he supposed to say -"Hey,I dont want that much salary, I´m not that good. Can you please lower it?" Blame the muppet MON

From next season on I expect him to be wearing the number 4 shirt and is a regular in our side.

Liverpool at Anfield last season At least that game we had some of the ball and had injury problems, Petrov, Coker, Bannan, Sidwell central midfield I recall all being out, as well as Ashley Young, Heskey (who at that time was an in form player) Gabby was playing through injury. (although arguably could have been tonight) that night we had Clark, Hogg, Ireland in midfield. (which makes it difficult to 'have a go' when lacking so much quality in key areas. The team we had out tonight wasn't stupidly better but the decisions are baffling. It's not a great midfield but in between Petrov, Herd, Bannan, Gardner, Delph, Ireland ...there is a decent trio in there somewhere or central 2. I think for starts, Petrov and Bannan have to play. Then you pick someone alongside that. Bent and Gabby up top. Then N'Zogbia or Heskey, I'd have gone for Heskey just because wide threat and he works his socks off so not really too bothered about that, but part of a midfield 4? a midfield 4 without a single player who's going to create. At least having Heskey in the team while say a Bannan is in the team is that even if Heskey isn't providing a threat, can have Bannan, Gabby, Bent trying to make something happen. Even another midfield, given Gardner a chance, or Delph, given him a bit of freedom when we have the ball to break from midfield. a 6 man base is fair enough (under O'Neill, I'd argue it was 5 men, with Petrov holding in front of back 4 and then the others were all more attacking minded) with other willing workers but we literally had an 8 man base today. The two banks of four, 'try and keep it down' mentallity. Gabby and Bent ....do it your own. We're not hard to beat, we're not attacking, we're not a counter attacking side, we don't grind results out, we don't have an actual style of play. We don't go long to play off Heskey and get men round him, we don't play it short and try to keep it. We don't look to move the ball quickly into wide areas. There is no identity within this team, no structure or pattern of play that makes it easier IMO for the players to adapt too. Every game it changes, I don't think that helps. The only games we've won, we've simply had to rely on individual brilliance from one player (in all 3 wins) against poorer opposition. We don't even play to our strengths, I don't know what we play. It's just shit. Truly shocking. Great post, I fully agree. We are plain shit with no identity at all. McLeish keeps on about defensive errors, then change the back four FFS. Put Clark on for Collins, atleast it´s something...

With that line up we gave it away even before it started.... We just cant **** roll over and die. MOM Herd for me atleast it looked like he cared.
