TrentVilla Posted August 31, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2014 I love an underdog, and this guy was ridiculed when he signed. But he's been absolutely brilliant in marshaling that defence, and I'm gutted for them that they've lost their clean sheet for the season - which says a lot in itself. And that is the thing with him, he leads, talks and organises those around him which was what I tried to point out when we signed him. We seriously lacked a player at the back last season because Vlaar isn't that sort of player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Doing what I hoped he would do - changing my opinion of him. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Doing well so far. I do worry a little with him when we play teams with lots of pace and mobility upfront e.g. Sanchez at Arsenal or the Liverpool lot so next few weeks will be interesting. Aluko and Robbie Brady caused us some problems when they came on today for Hull I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) He did make a really poor error at one point, heading the ball into play when he should have nodded it back to Guzan. He clearly still has that in his locker. I hope that when one does bite us we don't all jump on his back. Edited August 31, 2014 by dont_do_it_doug.

As I've said before and will again, he's always got an error in him, but he's replacing players who had 3 or 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I didn't think he would set the world on fire when he joined, but he really has had a decent start. I do feel there are some howlers in there somewhere but I am very pleased with the start he has made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Probably my favourite of our summer signings now. Got a lot of time for Senderos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was crying out for him NOT to head it back as I felt there was not enough pace on the ball to head it back that far. Only saw the situation once though...

AValon Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 When he eventually does get some flak for an error, which he undoubtedly will, I hope the instant critics remember how it was to play with either Baker or Clark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I was so wrong. We have played Stoke, Newcastle and Hull - two of the games at home. These three teams scored 45, 43 and 38 goals last season. Let's wait until we have played some proper teams over time before we start celebrating our acquisitions?

StanBalaban Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The thing about Senderos is, no matter how you rate him, he has seen action at the highest level of football. A lot who've seen him play live say that he's constantly shouting and organising the defence, and he seems to be enjoying his football. I love the passion he's shown at the final whistles for instance. Apparently he also speaks five languages - English, French, Spanish, German and Italian, so is a good player to have around for players like Sanchez. Anyway, good for you Phil - long may your good form continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are going to leap on him as soon as he makes a mistake, so we may as well enjoy the good times while they last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 In the corresponding fixtures last season we conceded 5 goals. This season 1 That's an improvement no ? Now I'm not saying thats all down to Senderos but he has been a big part of the improvement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem during Lambert's tenure has not been our performances against "proper" teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These three teams scored 45, 43 and 38 goals last season. Let's wait until we have played some proper teams over time before we start celebrating our acquisitions? Stoke have just beaten (and played well in order to do so) Man City. Newcastle have goals in them and are not the same side as last year, and we snuffed them out. They also have pace to burn, so it was a good test. Leicester have shown today that there's no such thing as an easy game in this league, so I think his praise is justified not just for his own play but also for his leadership within the defence as a whole. The final point is that he's an improvement over Baker and Clark, and came on a free so I think a little back patting is perfectly warranted.

bose Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sorry I thought the guy was a joke before he signed. Proved me and no doubt a few others quite wrong! Keep it up, Phil!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
