We could barely hang onto the ball second half and bar thay Hourihane chance just stayed near our own box for most of the second half. Different sort of game anyway with a 1-0 lead to hold onto for most of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Shame he’s not fit, with Sterling out of the squad along with Barkley he would of been called up, would of been a great confidence boost for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He consistently misses chunks of seasons through injury. Nonsense, all his long term injuries are impact injury through the way he plays. The kidney one was a freak incident. If he had reoccurring hamstring problems or muscle injury they’d be put off, his injuries are just unfortunate.

danceoftheshamen Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) It is getting worrying now, all these injuries just as we are due to play the one game on paper we have the biggest chance of 3 points from for the next 6 games! Newcastle will be very tough, they will be out to get one in for Bruce as will Clark. They keep picking up results too, won at Arsenal, won at West Ham Beat Man U etc. Must admit i am starting to get very concerned about the next half dozen games off the back of 3 straight losses too. We need at least 5 points from them in my opinion which would put us on 16 from 18 games but with a load of the toughest fixtures done.

Farlz Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The injury come at such a terrible time for him personally, he'd have absolutely been called up now with people dropping out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think we'll be bottom after the next five games but it doesn't worry me. I think that, as the season goes on, we'll get better and better - together with an addition or two in January - and we will see better points returns in the latter part of the season.

I tend to agree with what you say but... I’d rather have points on the board, if you get a little bad luck or poor performance then you can get cut adrift and stuck in a rut, it’s not good then.

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) What is it with the club underplaying the seriousness of Jacks injuries? Has there been an update? Do they expect him back for Newcastle? Edited November 13, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's of no benefit for them to release information about injuries that will enable the opposition to better plan against us. So it's in our best interests not to know! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2019/11/13/injury-update Quote Jack Grealish, who missed the last two games against Liverpool and Wolves with a calf injury, will make his return to training later this week. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Wouldn't swap either of McGinn or Grealish for Neves, he really hasn't been that great for them since they were promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Grealish absolutely tore him a new a-hole the only time they played against each other - the 4-1 at VP a couple of seasons back. Neves is a ball player but he can't tackle for toffee and he doesn't have any pace. I wouldn't swap any of our three - McGinn, Jack or Marvelous.

Why do you think we are and always will be the most hated club in the Midlands. Yeah that's right....It's because no matter how crap we are it's inevitable that we will rise above them all soon enough. Our cup finals are cup finals. Their cup finals are always against us.

Told him no chance what you guys think?? they always come up with that shite firstly they're different players in different roles, secondly you can quite comfortably make an argument for grealish being a villa lad means more to our club, definitely doing more, more chances created, more key passing etc and how he plays a more vital role for our team than neves plays for wolves, you could also point out a few websites that track performance and form and say grealish is playing better than neves but unfortunately the dingle will pull out things like national caps and the quality of Portugal's squad, champions league appearances, the premier league table and of course assists and goals, neves is a great player who if you take off the villa tinted specs would walk in to our team, the stupid thing about the comparisons is they could play in the same team and play well together, jack would also walk in to the wolves team no doubt about it but at the expense of jota in their current formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
