starsailor9774 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Did what we had to do against a dogged team....... we have to start picking win's like this to compliment our performances against the bigger clubs. 2nd place......... and still some fans aren't happy.[/quote **** BBC....... 3rd place....... apparently the table they have up is a projected table based on current scores....... so it had us as 2 behind Man U and i was getting all excited thinking 3 points and we go second......

Biskitt Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Defence was outstanding again today, all of them throwing their bodies on the line and i lost count at the number of blocks we put in. Proper, proper chuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Nice touch from Carew at the end, giving the little lad his shirt after the corner flag incident Explain?

El Zen Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well, it wasn't pretty and against Stoke it's never likely to be. Stoke will probably feel they deserved to get something from this game, but in the end we did what we had to do and got a very important three points. I agree with those who has Luke Young as their man of the match. He made some fantastic blocks and once again proved what an excellent defender he is. It was scrappy, but it was a fantastic way to cap off a very, very good week for Aston Villa FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnerking7 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Nice touch from Carew at the end, giving the little lad his shirt after the corner flag incident Explain? After Carew scored, he kicked the corner flag during his celebration and it went into the crowd nearly hitting people. At the end of the game, he went over to the corner and got in with the crowd to give the lad his shirt as an apology. Love Big John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjackle Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 There was a small period in the first half where we played some great passing football -apart from that it wasnt pretty but Stoke pressed hard and were up for it. Stoke deserved a draw and we were lucky to win- though our defending at the moment is incredible- such great blocks and determination in the back 4. I didnt think we could replace laursen but man our defence is awesome. Great to get the 3 points- but its rare you get to enjoy the last ten minutes of a villa game!

Foxy1 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Credit to Stoke they gave us a real game today and deserved more. Still its another 3 points and clean sheet whilst Utd and Liverpool are comprehensively beaten :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJ Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 We edged that game but needed a ref decision or it would have been even more difficult.. We did have chances to score quite a bit more but Stoke had their own chances to nick it. It was a battling game though, not one that was very easy on the eyes. Stoke were very tough to play against, they pressed high up the pitch and didn't give even our defenders a moments peace on the ball, Tuncay was good for them creating opportunities. Both Youngs, Milner and Carew did very well for us. Good to see the old Ash-Carew combo for the goal, we need more of that again. Carew came alive during the game and started winning everything again and a lot of his headers went into good positions as well. Milner MoTM for me, got involved all the time, all over the pitch and made some great passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Play shit and win, something we didn't do for the final third of last season. Usually it'd be a draw or a loss. I am happy. 3 points. we didnt play shit. played some great football at times especially in the first half. our goal was top class football, from downing especially. defence was immense all game.

ThunderPower_14 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Not pretty, good result. Good teams get results when they don't play well, we're a good team. Pretty happy, goal was terrific, defensive tenacity was terrific, good win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switters Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Got a bit of luck here and there, and never looked wholly convincing (the last 20 mins were painful), but ground out the result which is crucial. Defence is excellent at the minute. Cuellar is showing why he cost £9m and I thought L.Young was MOTM. Three games in a week - three wins and nothing conceded. Could not have had a better set-up for the big Xmas fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
