Bunnski Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Delph needs to be given more freedom to run into attacking positions, he's got enough skill on the ball to break down defenses on his own. Yeah he nearly set Kozak up with some brilliant play to create the opportunity straight after Southampton scored there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Smack in the middle of the table, with an exactly balanced GD. Could be worse! Edited December 4, 2013 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Amazing that we even managed to score once. How the hell did we win this game? How did you get back from commentating on the game so quickly, Ray? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Southampton v man city on Saturday, we could be level on points with them on sunday night we've had a harder start and haven't played anywhere near as well as they have either (no doubt someone will) cant complain at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Lambert just said "we were outstanding" Defensively we were. Fantastic on the counter attack at times. Deserved winners. Not including Lowton, I presume? We did look more resolute than last season but we will inevitably get hammered against teams if we concede so much possession. Great goals from us though. All well worked and brilliantly taken. Guzan motm for me. Gabby looked back to his menacing best. Vlaar and Clark looked excellent. Hope Ron isn't one who misses his family a lot and likes to spend Christmas at home with them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I thought we had a chance of beating Southampton by catching them on the break and it looks like that's what happened. Big decision by Lambert dropping Benteke but I think it must be that he was rushed back from injury too quickly. I didn't see any of the game but I think we should be looking at targeting 3 points away from home and 1 point at home rather than vice versa as is normal. Lambert is really impressing me as a manager as he clearly is able to work with what he has rather than trying to impose a particular style on a bunch of players as so many other managers would do. All you can do as a manager is get the best out of what you have, Lambert is doing that at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I should add to my post by saying that Hairyhands pretty much called how it would be, although I am sure he'd have liked us to see more of the ball. Other than that, it went pretty much to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 This talk of a 'harder start' has gone on far too long. We're over a third of the way through the season. The first 3 games were hard, sure. Going on about it 11 games later is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Paul Lambert: "We were outstanding." Manager in praising his team in public and increasing their confidence shocker! We weren't outstanding but do you want him to say we were awful and deserved nothing. Maybe behind closed doors he says differently, the way it should be. I agree. But he IS lying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We are winning while playing bad. Pretty sure thats the mark of a good team! Our defence this season is top notch and its the foundation we need to become a top team. Gabby MOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Reminds me of that game at Goodison 5 years ago. Battered but somehow came away with a win. Funny old game, football. We've just absolutely robbed them hahahahahaha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_shere Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Brave dropping benteke, think we dealt with them well defensively, apart frm the goals obviously. All three goals for us were crackers. Great to see the whole team chipping in with goals. We scored a goal off a cross again, so it wasn't and isn't always one dimensional n route one . Love Delph Up the Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I would be so pissed off if this happened to us. In fact I might go and read the meltdown on the Southampton boards Felt sorry for Kozak, he went mental when we scored, then got taken straight.

The Fun Factory Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Quite frankly I am appalled that Villa under Lambert this season has the temerity to play badly and win. It is a simply an outrage. I expect us to play brilliant free flowing football and win every week. I am also very unhappy that we are 9 points from the drop zone. It is a total disgrace and Lambert should go. And sack the board. And the tea lady. Meanwhile outside of the keyboard warriors out there- get in. By all account we got battered tonight, but look that has got the points. I hope Vlaar isn’t knackered or we need to go shopping. But the claret and blue are on the way. Bring on Fulham. And United. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
