get carew the **** off, lets get players on who want to win and can score

Carew should be off hes looking useless

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=66530∂=sports third one works well has good commentary if u have sopcast

GABBY!

where are all the non uk people watching this from?

I would like Davies, Delph, the Fonz to get starts. I think Davies is a quality CB and should be given a chance to fight for his place. Wouldn't mind 2 of Bouma, Beye and L.Young playing. Tough team for MON to pick regardless of who plays people are going to complain.

Gabby MOTM for me. His movement in the second half was very good (which suprised me because i always felt this was a weakness of his) especially for the goal he grabbed. Some of the complaints about Petrov seem harsh, i thought he played very well considering his midfield partner was pushing forward so much and leaving him exposed. Hope we continue to play more open against the 'weaker' team we have coming up. UP VILLA!

THE FONZ IS ON

Gabby gets subbed off for Carew. Would have prefered Fonz but happy gabby gets a break after a nice team goal

GABBY!!!!

now please give petrov a break

milner puts another great through ball for gabby out wide, gabby early low cross to heskey in the middle whose free an places it in the far corner

HESKEY SCORES!!!

omg gabby u noob, u missed a sitter DOWNING AGAIN!!

DOWNING!!! first prem goal for villa!!!!

we really need to work on our throw-ins, we give the ball back way too often

he put it in at the back post but both forwards were at the front post not entirely his fault

GET IN !!!!

ashley young with a big tackle, dont get to say that often

ahhhh Heskey so close

hope MON didn't give up winning games for lent again

been a decent start, we are looking better in attack. just as i say this of course burnley score

I don't understand why Cuellar is playing RB when L.Young and Warnock are fit but otherwise fairly standard team... expect Carew on for Heskey around the 65 minute mark

That statistic alone shows how far our football style has come this season. We no longer have to sit back and try to exploit teams on the counter, we are able to hold onto the ball and work the spaces the only problem is that it takes a while for the players to adjust. I really do think we will finish off this season strong once things start gelling together nicely.

Ratings: Friedel - 7 - did what he had to and did it well. Cuellar - 7.5 - not a RB but hes doing a solid job, picked out a few nice passes which was suprising to see. Collins - 6 - made a couple of mistakes that could have been costly, yet to hit top form after coming back from injury. Dunne - 8 - A monster at the back as usual. Great run through the middle at the end and unlucky he didn't get anything from it. L.Young - 7 - good in defence could have supported more in attack. Petrov - 9 - MOTM great performance nullified the extra man and stopped fabregas. Milner - 6.5 - Unable to make a big impact but still a solid performance Downing - 4 - Was rubbish today. had two great chances but looked affraid to attack them. Made bad choices in attack. A.Young - 9 - Great game! he's looking back to his dangerous best, all he needs is a target in the box making a run. Heskey - 7 - Did his job well. Showed some agression as well. Gabby - 6 - Took a great save to stop him scoring in the 4th minute but once again he stuggles to get into goal scoring positions and insists on playing with his back to goal. Ref was shit. I cant understand why Downing wasn't subbed off he had a shocker (which happens to everyone). Happy we got a point and that we went toe-to-toe with arsenal but dissapointed we didn't score again
