  1. I agree in terms of goals, but he did get 6 assists, so falls joint 7th in the league for assists... Along with that, he created some real clearcut chances, I can think of at least 4 instances where Ings (x2) , Watkins and Chuk were all in on goal and should all score. So, theres no issues with him creating the opportunities, just players finishing them.
  2. Agreed, too much time to think about it.
  3. He frustrates me a lot, but considering how poor he can be he's provided a decent return overall really. Although it probably should be much higher considering some of the easy chances he misses. I've not given up on him completely just yet.
  4. I think he's already a better option than Marv. He looks physically up to the job and I'd like to see him remain with the squad.
  5. He won it in 96/97, the year Boro got relegated.
  6. I was just thinking the same thing. I like the style but that blue is defo not ours.
  7. Legend has it that he's currently at the Belfry waiting to sign for us.
  8. I saw this yesterday before the city game (I couldn't spilt the bottom tweat away). His game is more rounded than Phil's but he excels in areas like key passes/xA where you'd expect Coutinho to be leading the stats. So if Coutinho is good enough based on his performances for us, then Buendia is more than good enough.
  9. I've been pretty frustrated with him over the last couple of months but he's done pretty well considering. Going forward I hope hes more flexible with his system and primarily find a way to accommodate both Buendia and Coutinho in the starting XI.
  10. Ran the show when he came on. Gerrard needs to start him, it’s doing my head in watching for only 15mins every week.
  11. On paper we should be beating teams like Burnley but in reality we've beaten them away once in 26 games. It's a decent result for us today especially with that taken into consideration.
  12. I don't care how we win today, im happy with ugly its nuts that we've only won one of out last 26 games at Turf Moor.
  13. His confidence is shot, he had a few poor games and made mistakes leading to goals and that seems to have its wrecked him.
  14. I didn't watch the match but saw the comments about it being a lucky, deflected goal on here post match. Finally caught the highlights just, it was decent goal, irrespective of his general performance and the deflection. It was the kind of goal he was lauded for last season.
  15. I'm not sure any team is shite a selling. It's hardly like Villa can force other teams to buy our fringe players for our valuation or force a player under contract to move on even if they have no future at the club.
  16. I was just commenting on why Ings/Chambers didn't start. Not why were playing so badly.
  17. Gerrard said he's got a niggle (and chambers too) pre-match interview that's why they didn't started.
  18. Needs to make a couple of subs in midfield getting swamped.
  19. Relative to games played his clean sheets and goal contributions stand up against some of our best Premier league defenders. N.B. Alan Wright was a beast!
