Villain-from-Texas Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hmm. Gil's passing has been very neat and competent but i don't yrt see him as the man to carve out match winning opportuinities or change the momentum of a game. Except for when he carved out a match winner in the FA Cup and changed the momentum with his assist for Okore's goal against Chelsea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Did Tekkers get minutes at all? None of the players who had international duty over the summer played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Sherwood says he wants to get rid of the losing mentality our players have. i know it was only a practice match but losing to a piss poor Fulham is hardly a great way to go about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, you're being serious... This is not even classified as a friendly! It's literally like the kind of game they would play in training, I mean look at the team he picked for **** sake.

VillaChris Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I remember under O'Leary once we played a village team from Sweden and won 17-0, Luke Moore scored about 8 goals. We finished 16th that season. Winning or losing in pre season means very little. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 No Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Gueye, Delph, Benteke, Sanchez or Grealish so who gives a toss?... All of those players would probably start at Bournemouth as things stand. The teams that went out tonight are so far removed from our first choice that I just couldn't see any point really other than fitness. The games against Wolves and Forest should be the only ones to even discuss meaningfulness to the new season to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Just got back from the game..... Lost 3-1 Played two halves with different teams....first half 1-1 Second half they scored twice their second was a very good goal from their point of view. I think they are ahead of us in terms of fitness.....even though it's early days we still show no signs of a winning mentality, I'm sure that is going to take some time. There were plenty of Villa fans there and one told me about the Delph news....a few fans were singing to Benteke to stay....think the sangres lager was taking over. It was a training session and that has to be remembered.....but the same old traits of getting caught in possession of the ball was all too prevalent. Ah well, just move on. Ps the crowd was c1500 Pps thought cissoko was awful Edited July 11, 2015 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Positives: Kojak back and scoring, and Gil back in consideration. Two players like having decent new signings. Cool, who cares about losing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl the Pearl Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 How long has it been since the players were on holiday? I'm sure some of them are still sweating out the booze. Gil was by far the best, but Robinson and Mason also looked decent in the first half. N'Zogbia shouldn't be allowed to play football and Micah looked a bit out of place at CB. Admittedly, I didn't watch the second half because it was beautiful outside and couldn't justify staying in the house to watch any longer. I really don't care if we lost, DELPHY IS STAYING!

YGabbana Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 These games are just about getting fitness back atm, id be more worried if we lose the friendlys towards the end of pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 These games are all about getting fitness back and that is the prime objective. I'll bet if you asked Tim if he wanted to win it he would say.....I want to win every game....even five a side. I have witnessed fans raising mitigation on losing European games, citing the league as more important. My point is.....don' t be depressed on the result, the game is what folk say it is......but equally don't fall in to the trap of thinking winning is a selective thing. If we want to progress as a football club.....winning has to be a prerequisite. Ps I'll bet if had of won, fans would be taking something from it......can't have it both ways.
