  1. To move on to the next level we have to have players who are composed on the ball, can pass well, can move off the ball (and not just when the pass is going to them), that can control a ball in tight situations and are hungry for success. We need these players all over the pitch.

    Wise words, OMVF.

    I don't think we have ANY players that fit your description (OK, Barry and Petrov might just squeeze in).

    Some have suggested on here that we are only a couple of players short of being a top side. I think they may be in for a shock when the window opens.

    Definitely agree.

    As far as passing is concerned, we're a very English team and a long way from the top four.

  2. I love the bloke, but JPA has always been more of a symbol than a hero. When we bought him, it felt like the one time Ellis relented to fan pressure, was forced to get his cheque book out and show some genuine ambition. He cost 9.5 million -alot, but at a time when everyone cost alot (not just John Gregory's signings).

    The other thing is his good patches have always come when Villa were doing well - even including earlier this season - so there is this added euphoria surrounding him.

    To be honest, against Wigan on Monday I would rather have seen him come off the bench than either Ashley Young or Luke Moore. To have had that bit of experience and nous up front would have been telling IMO. As it was, it was all youthful headless chicken stuff.

    But clearly he's not in this manager's plans so that's that...
