8pints Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If we do see Bent tonight, who do you think he will be in place of? Weimann (Let him get over his illness)? Benteke (Give him a rest)? Or other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 wouldnt mind giving Benteke a rest tonight or Saturday but if plays tonight be more than likely replacing Baker and change tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knoppy1987 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Darren Bent should be leading the line - end of discussion. We have someone who can score goals and he has been singled out IMO. Open your eyes Lambert and make a decision that could potentially keep you in a job by the end of the season. Pull your finger out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Bent. Sell him now. Gutless, Spineless none event of a cameo today. Weimann's twice the player. So much heart, Bent couldn't give a twice, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much heart, Bent couldn't give a twice, Incredibly harsh. There was no plan with all the strikers on plus he set up the second goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwood Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 When our game plan is... put the ball near the box and hope Benteke does something with it - it's hardly surprising Bent didn't do well. It was foolish to put him on, and play like that. In the end our strikers we're just getting in each other's ways. Lack of tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssexVilla Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The guy is useless right now. Did **** all when he came on. People can comment on lack of tactics which is partly true but Weimann was in the same boat and he managed to score and cause other problems and he'd been shoved out of position on the right wing. Moment which epitomised the difference between the two was when Weimann did well down the right to create room to fire a ball across the 6 yard box, the kind of ball which Bent should be thriving on but he was 15 yards behind play and couldnt be arsed to make a run. WOuld say get rid but could see someone like QPR or newcastle snapping him up which could have potentially disastrous results for us. Weimann is twice the player right now.

jacketspuds Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Felt sorry for Bent last night. He is taking a lot of flak but he has scored goals for every other manager who has played him correctly. Another Lambert **** up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentingthereslowly Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Bent isnt as effective when a team sits deep as he likes to play on the shoulder, we didnt have the composure further back the pitch to coax them out to create space for him. Felt sorry watching them thump balls in on him. Him and Ireland, sacpegoats again even though people supposed to give us width (namely gabby and CNZ) didnt turn up in the 2nd half and Benteke had a mare all night although he tried hard.

Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2013 His movement was good last night. On a differen tpage to Benteke. But by that point we'd lost shape and were in no way set up to play to Bent's strengths. We were never going to be able to pass it through 10 Bradford defenders. He was the only one of the 4 strikers on the pitch who seemed to realise that the 4 of them standing in Bradford's D was never going to work. He seemed to be trying to get the others to move wide and look for the ball, but it was ultimately fruitless. He wasn't good, but not sure he had the chance to be. At least he looked to be showing some intelligence and leadership, even if it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 put on for 30 minutes to save an appallingly set up team , a team which in the first half if lowton had half a brain would have hit in 15 crosses by simply moving down the right side of the pitch which was completely empty of bradford players, instead every time he passed the ball inside in the 30 minutes he was on he set up the weiman goal and set ireland up bent was the forward drifting out wide to try and open them up yet nzog and gabby had been on all game and were not doing it the blame entirely lies at the hands of the manager picking a poor formation, players who cant play that formation and then when desperate throws on 2 more forwards and tries to pack out the middle wioth no one prepaired to crosss the ball in not picking bent is another '**** you' from the increasingly poor lambert, who has no one to blame for the utter shit we are having to watch but himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
