dudevillaisnice Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 downing wil move to wing when makoun plays next i reckon Yes this is how I see it too..

villianusa Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 We'll win this I think if the GH gets the subs right in the second half. Petrov will tire and he will need to be replaced by NRC before it's too late. We are winning so I'm very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Love having Young back in the team, really hope we can keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienvillan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Observation: - Bent scored - We scored too early. We can't defend one goal lead ... or maybe we can but we can't play our own game. - Gabby is no winger rather score early than not at all though. I think the half time team talk is important. we need to spread the play quicker out to gabby and Marc. If we are to pass it around then we need to keep it safe. It's clear Young, Bent and Cuellar are the best of the three tonight. We are always in trouble when we score the first goal. We start sitting back and don't know what to do with the ball. Lack of mental strength IMO. No matter what the score is, we should always play like it was 0-0. Scoring the first goal makes us panic, in going forward.

Czechlad Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I like Downing at CM, he is possessing the ball and distributing quite well. I'd like to see a Makoun-Downing pairing next game. Also, Ashley is finally playing well in a 2nd striker role. Gabby is still bad on the left wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelmsley_villan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So good to have poacher again! Need to get better at defending their corners, rode our luck a little with a few of them and cant see that luck lasting another 45mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMB Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 . £7 on bent to score first today. Ohhhhh yes. What were the odds?? was it a combination bet? 2-1 Villa and Bent to score first and I had a pound on 2-1 too. 6/1 Bent score first. 14/1 2-1 Villa. Cant remember what it was for the double. All that with Coral. If it finished 2-1 I may have to get Bent tattoed on my forehead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Brilliant to actually have a striker that follows things up and has good movement. Well played lads, all put a proper shift in today and looked really up for it. Same again please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockport_Villain Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think we will struggle to keep up the same closing down pressure 2nd hald. There's only so long you can keep that going for, but fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I still think we'll lose this, Man Citeh can go up a few gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikantcpell Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Iam not looking forward to the second half..city has way much possesion for me to feel relaxed..hopefully we can nick another on the counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2011 A lot better than I expected but still it isn't quite right. We're disciplined and looked reasonably comfortable until Citeh bothered to turn up, but we just create enough still for me. Petrov's been the player of the half, he's been first rate. He's needed to be to be fair. Great in possession some fantastic passes (that sweeping ball out to Gabby on the left, inch perfect and made a chance for us from being under pressure) and most of all, some great tackles, clean and committed. The left side is all wrong though. Gabby is no winger, not by any means, and Clark really doesn't do himself any favours at LB. We need to take the discipline that we've got and start to make Citeh worry. At the moment any passage of play for us is a case of Citeh waiting till we gift the ball to them. Obvious congrats to Bent, how longs it been since we've had a proper poacher? And Cuellar too, he mightn't be a natural RB but he covers the defence so well, master of the diving block/tackle.

RMB Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ashley Young and Bent could have a bright future ahead of them. They're made for each other. Oh and they could work together in football too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

privateer Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Happy we are goal up, obviously but we really need to tighten up at the back because if we play like that in the second half I can see them scoring at least once. We were lucky not to concede. Bent did exactly what we have bought him for and he should be the man we have needed for years - a striker that scores.
