Actually I'm in a big fan of Petrov in a 4-5-1. Not saying it's Stan's fault at all, he's a good player but not in the way we are currently using him and I don't think away from home in teams who get into our faces, he's really the man for job because the game becomes a battle, Stan isn't a player for this type of game,
Perhaps you should read posts before making assumptions on who I like and don't like as a player?
it's the managers fault for not seeing the faults, the fact we get over-run in midfield everyaway game and the fact we are poor everyaway game and yet then people now on this thread are telling me that's good?
Pathetic post really, Something is currently wrong with what were doing away from home, I'm questioning this, is this wrong? if O'Neill plays Milner at right back, Heskey at right midfield, are we not allowed to question this like he did vs Boro last season?
What's wrong with questioning decisions that don't work?
Easy tiger. I wasn't particularly directing my sarcasm at you, it was a general remark. Every day I drop in here and every day see the same posts about 4-4-2/4-5-1/Petrov and it does my head in.
I don't always agree with MON's decisions, and there is nothing wrong with questioning them, but he does far more right than wrong and knows a millions times more about football and our players than anyone on this forum. We are not poor every away game and we don't get overrun in midfield in every away game like you say... the fact of the matter is we're right up in the mix for a top 4 spot and in a semi-final. As a Villa fan I'm chuffed to bits with this, and I'm realistic enough to know we can't expect a lot more. Hope for more, yes, but not expect it. There are a small selection of posters like yourself that give the impression that anything less than being top of the league is unacceptable, and that top is exactly where we'd be if MON wasn't such an inept manager.
