Given: 6 Warnock: 6 Dunne: 7 Collins: 6 Hutton: 5 Herd: 6 Petrov: 7 Heskey: 6 Zog: 7 Bent: 8 Gabby: 10 subs: Jenas: 6 Ireland: 6 we gave away possession too easily and free kicks in dangerous areas, but i do genuinely feel we have started playing with a lot of attacking promise. Zog looks like the player we signed in the summer - but he's not quite in tune with his team mates but that will come. If i could make one change it would be Herd at RB and Jenas midfield ad maybe Bannan for Heskey although Heskey did ok today.

Gab didn't get booked Zog did so shouldn't be suspended??

er what did Ireland do wrong???

here we go again!

c'mon!

he's no Friend of ours

keep barging them over needlessly

how was that not a free KICK????

how was that not a free KICK????

why the **** was Zog booked? **** off ref you're worse than Hutton!

was that a foul???

**** off hutton, you are the worst signing we've made in years

**** off Hutton you **** useless word removed

doh Bent ffs!

he did a good impression of a footballer

he isn't.

best thing since very suspect looking bread found in a bin at the back of Iceland

how do you know he doesn't rate him? I don't for certain, but has he started him in the Premiership - in fact has he given him more than 10 mins football (league cup aside). If he has faith in him why did he recall Weimann? We've played average teams and barely had a performance to write home about and Bent has been mostly average or starved of service, wouldn't Delf be the best attacking option when losing or drawing? Instead he brings on Albrighton.

no idea why he was given a new contract McCleish doesn't rate him and even when Bent is misfiring he doesn't get a look in. I expect to see him turning out for Aldershot in less than two years, he may have raw talent but if we never get to see it then what's the point?

i dont get it, Ireland was improving every game he played - ok so he was still far from the player we want him to be but surely he's the logical replacement for Bannan - NOT HESKEY McCleish seems to be limiting the team more and more by not involving Weiman, Delf or Gardener. If Bent is shit then he should be subbed, Petrov has one good game in three yet is rarely subbed and neither is Delph if he is playing. -----Bent----- Gabby Ireland Petrov Bannan Zog Warnock Dunne Cuellar Herd Given Is that surely not the best team we have? is there any stats on how many goals we concede from set pieces when Cuellar is playing CB?

Given: 5 - didn't drop any clangers but wasn't his best performance either. Hutton: 5 Got forward well at times but still a liability Dunne: 7 Brave performance but still has to take some responsibility for the team's shite defending Collins: 4 He cost us the game even if we didn't deserve to win Warnock: 6 Consistent but gave away possession too often Herd: 5 Did ok but is he any better than Ireland or Delph? Petrov: 8 MOM Heskey: 5 Physically good at times but little else Zog: 7 Best performance in a Villa shirt but still needs to get better Gabby: 6 Did well but needed some end product Bent: 4 Useless really Albrighton for Zog: Too little time to rate

we've had a few decent attacks but our midfield is useless and so is our defence, Petrov, Zog, Warnock and Gabby have been good though?

wish they would stop sucking off Wickham aswell

surely Abrighton would be better than Heskey or Delph???? Heskey isnt pressing players he's acting like he's a striker in that sense and he **** isnt an maybe never was!

our ball keeping is piss poor, Zog is looking like THE ZOG again!
