brummybloke Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 cuellar messing up for their first goal It was Dunne who lost the ball to Berbatov. Dunne did the unusual mistake that cost a goal. nope cuellar is the one who while under no pressure on the right with the ball at his feat under total control with no utd player anywhere near him decided to turn back and pass it to a utd player, the ball then went to the other side of the pitch where the dunne mistake happened. cuellar was the one for me who made the mess up.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think the fact the commentators and pundits all instinctively mentioned SAF's kind words after the Fulham game last season speaks volumes. SAF is the problem, Phil Dowd is just a muppet who didn't have the balls to make the call when it mattered, for fear of repercussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really think you can use that logic mate, although I agree he didn't have the best of games. Really gutted, cause thought we had started so well, but just got a little scared after they scored there goal. Had to take as well with 'that decission'! Hopefully it'll give us that extra dessire to succeed in the fa/league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. But Cuellar made a mistake six weeks ago that stuck in Dunnes mind and he had a flashback and lost concentration and was robbed by Berbatov. Cuellar also caused the earthquake in Chile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Phil Dowd should come and out and say he got the decision wrong and then apologise. Also that linesman giving offside near the end was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 it was an obvious red and i think perhaps it could have made a difference. man u would have lost there best CB for 85 minutes leaving them with evans and neville/carrick/brown back there. i suspect we might have had more joy lumping balls into the box against them, but thats just a guess to not even give him a yellow was more shocking, and added to the yellow he got for a cynical kick on gabby in the 2nd man u should have been down to 10 at some point. booking downing but then not booking carrick for the same thing, and letting rafael get away with 2 bad fouls in a minute was also a disgrace. even the commentators were saying it was wrong!

The_Steve Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Dowd was terribly inconsistent throughout clearly favouring United, with bookings and we were denied free kicks in promising positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I refuse to go down the sour grapes route but I can't understand why Vidic didn't even get a talking to for the penalty. As for Cuellar, it was Dunne and Collins who both also fecked up to cost us the goals today. They all make mistakes but he's been generally sound for us this season. That said, I would have played Young at right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has absolutely nothing to do with MON or tactics or how far MON can take us. If you'd read the thread you'd realise that this is a thread criticising Dowd's terrible performance and the lack of a red card for Vidic. It had a significant impact on the game, but it's not the only factor in our loss. Nobody is saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 As far as he can? Oh gosh darn it, how dare Villa lose to the Premier League champions of the last 3 years and reigning Carling Cup holders! MON clearly isn't good enough if he can't beat those mugs!

I disagree The ref was atrocious but we can't blame refereeing mistakes for that pisspoor effort. I can't see how any of the players can get more than 6/10 for that showing, and where should the blame lie - MON! His poor selection, favouritism and lack of tactical nous will never take us any higher than this. I just hope to god we can pick ourselves up, we haven't had our annual slump yet!

I disagree I strongly disagree. Our first final for years, 6th twice etc. We are where we are at the moment because we need to continue investing in the squad. MON is getting rid of the years of dross we've witnessed under previous managers. We are in the toughest league in the world and doing well. Two games in hand against those just above us with easier games to play. A semi final against Reading to come next week. MON has only just started when you compare him to Man Utd or Chelsea.
