Zatman Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 DOnt think he did that bad tonight, though him bringing the ball out of defence 3 or 4 times scared the shit out of me Our season and players will not be judged on games vs teams like United 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I thought he was very solid, infact he's been better than I expected so far at CB. Just the goal though...even with the deflection Januazj should never be even getting a shot in from where he even pick it up in the box, Richards should've just stood up.

andym Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 he wasnt great on the goal, but he did a lot of good things - strong physical presence, good pace, and lots of key interceptions were he read the play very well. should have won a penalty as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I personally think as soon as he went to ground Clark should've been over there like a shot to block out Januazj, criminal to let him get a shot from 10 yards which can always deflect from that range. Still our back 4 didn't look a car crash at all. Plenty of pace and potential there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 14, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2015 I thought Richards was very good. Much better than Clark, and I like Clark. Micah is a presense out there, he is class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Was pretty decent tonight but the organisation of the defence at set pieces left a lot to be desired. Still, good performance from Micah tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Don't like this I told you so business but what kind of defending was that? Careful Noel, he looked good on Match of the Day against Bournemouth. Absolute twaddle. I watched the full game, twice. I thought he was good last night too. I thought the entire unit was. The goal was weak, but they are going to conceed goals. That's the nature of the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Another good solid performance. Very impressed with him and the defence so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I really like him. He's doing a great job as captain off the field as well, i think he'll get better and will be our captain for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We conceded against Man United. 'Told you so' posts out already. Pathetic. It doesn't matter who it's against - a poor goal is a poor goal regardless. Indeed, very poor defending. Other than that he did OK but he has 'one of these' in his locker pretty much every time he plays. Almost gifted Bournemouth a goal last week and was extremely poor for the goal last night. Needs to sharpen up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means that you probably have too much time on your hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazvfc Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Was at this game but mate text to say that at one corner their defender had his arms round micahs neck and should have had a penalty. He causes defenders problems at set pieces. ALL the team need time to gel as a unit. Once they do they will get better. Micah is better than baker vlaar and senderos so a big improvement in defence.

I choose to spend a lot of my free time on them. But don't worry, I also run a small yet successful London business and have enough close friends to keep me content. I thank you for your concern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Shouldn't have dived in for goal, but overall he was good. Will get some goals from corners. As game wore on his distribution dropped, but so did clark's as we were trying to launch ball up at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We conceded against Man United. 'Told you so' posts out already. Pathetic. Jesus wept, of all people to get on their high horse Give him a break. He is still recovering from not being able to blame Darren Bent for absolutely everything.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Bad mistake, and it was fortunate that we played against a team seemingly uninterested in scoring goals. I think he'll be fine against teams around us, but against teams with decent strikers he'll be outdone and cost us points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, you brought up the length of game watching by suggesting he only looked good because people saw him on MOTD. Maybe try watching the full game again, because I rewatched Bournemouth and without the constant fear of conceding and berating every tiny mistake because it's definitely going to relegate us that goes through every fans mind when watching a game live, you see it as a neutral since the result is settled. He was good. And not for the 4 minutes shown on the telly, for 98% of the game. Twice. Edited August 15, 2015 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 He needs to stop with the lunges, seems he's looses his head at times & last night he wasn't organising people set pieces...in fact I saw him with his back to the ball way to often. Also like other have said when he goes on these runs it worries me that it'll cost us. But with the above I've been really impressed with him, hasn't yet looked out of place. Interesting to that every pundit has said they're happy he's now playing centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
