PaulMcgrathsknees Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Nightmare....... Rather he stayed under the radar and was not poached if he plays well - or given horrific stick if he has a stinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Pre-season against Rotherham I think. Yep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsVr0h7vj9k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah getting a slating on Twitter. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Playing in middle with Henderson and Wilshere difficult to see who is going to sit there. It feels like a very Woy decision to finally call Fab up and then play him DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wasn't going to watch the game but I will now Delph is playing. I think he will be the DM and will be asked to sit in front of the defence which we all know is not his strong point. In turn he won't have a good game and will probably get slated by everyone. If Roy's got any sense he will allow him to surge forward and make those driving runs but my guess is Wilshere will do all that. It's a very weak line up and it's time for our new captain to stop being a shrinking violet and win the game for us. He won't though so I'm just gonna enjoy seeing Fab out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The slating doesn't really bother me because I know it's bollocks, it's the "surprise" of it all, itv just opened with it, lots of pundits on twitter with it Who is he? How dare he replace chamberlain, he's a top 4 player don't you know! Delph did more in 20 minutes vs Norway than wilshere and chamberlain managed in the previous 70, play the formation you want then pick the players that suit it best, don't shoe horn in the big names and make up a formation to suit them, I see Delph / wilshere / Henderson rotating, lots of movement, lots of energy Finally Roy does something right and everyone is jumping on it, it's nonsense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 So what's the status on his contract? Have the club offered a new one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Apparently Wilshere is sitting, interesting experiment but shows how weak we are in this area. Wilshere should keep us ticking reasonably well but he is no kind of defensive presence at all At least it will allow Delph to play his normal game Edited September 8, 2014 by villaglint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wish him the best of luck tonight. He deserves a chance given he is regular starter for his club. Take note Jimmy Milner- if you don't play for your club, you should not play for your country. There is a argument for Barry to be in the squad but Hodgson is rightly giving the next generation a go.

OutByEaster? Posted September 8, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2014 Delph sometimes look a little bit imperfect, but he's effective, he brings things to the game - Wilshire looks beautiful on the ball, but he does absolutely nothing - he's ornamental (and a cock.)

DCJonah Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Idiots used to think Barry wasn't good enough for villa. Same ones don't rate delph. I still think we're idiots for not having him signed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilshere should keep us ticking reasonably well but he is no kind of defensive presence at all At least it will allow Delph to play his normal game i think thats the thing, wilshere sitting, henderson and delph both trying to read his game, he'll end up pushing forward at some point, 1 of those 2 has to read it and drop in, if that works then the midfield works, all those huge names over how many years that couldnt do it? if those 3 can play as a team then we'll be laughing, but the pundits want the names so dont expect the recognition no matter how well he does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
