AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I only saw 30 minutes but it was terrible. Ahh well, a point ain't terrible. Probably enough to say we are safe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 A game very low on quality. Two very good goals, but very little else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Drab game spoiled by an anti-football team. Still, better from set pieces for us and unbeaten in 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 How anyone can say Villa played shite. You cant play against that type of fooball, like 8 behind the ball everytime, **** awful football from stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpaywasawesome Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I thought Heskey was utterly useless today. And how he stayed on for 83 minutes is mind boggling. Albrighton did okay after coming on, but Downing was playing very well, so unless it was an injury issue, I don't see the rationale in that at all.

The_Steve Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Turgid game, turgid tactics from Stoke but we can hardly expect much else. 9/10 behind the ball and a reliance on set pieces. They got away with a lot of fouls in the box and time wasting. Albrighton looked sharp when he came on, Bent's goal was excellent. It was always going to be a frustrating game.

diehardvillan Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Pretty awful game really. Don't expect anything less against an awful, atrocious and the biggest excuse of a team to ever make an F.A Cup final. Just very disappointed that in the whole of the second half; the Stoke keeper didn't have one save to make. Ah well, an extra point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Well earned point but should have really finished them off. Stoke are such an anti football team that its hard to create much and play well. Petrov motm for me, looked solid and kept play moving with a few nice touches and passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaIoW Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 1 point, 7 above relegation, 3 more points from the last 4 games will surely see us completely safe, horrible football from Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houseoftomorrow Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Typical Villa lineup, predictable result. With no Makoun, and no Gabby, we played for the draw. There should have been some halftime changes. McAllister knew they were going to sit back, yet he kept two defensive minded midfielders who lacked any creativity in attack. Not to blame Petrov and NRC, I thought they did exactly what they needed to do, and Stoke's attack (if there was one) was forced wide. No idea why Pires or Makoun didn't come into the game. You have to go down fighting. Albrighton looked lively, Gabby came in too late, Bent MotM in boring match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I don't mind a team playing to their strengths and I can fully understand why Stoke would sit back and rely on set pieces and Delap's throw-ins (he can really throw the ball that Delap, can't he?). What I can't stand is all the time wasting and holding on set pieces. So frustrating and tedious to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaib2004 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I gave Walker MOTM just about he kept there biggest threat quiet in Etherington but he does need to learn that every time he gets the ball he doesn't have to just put his head down and run. Just pass it simply. We needed to just shoot at times and have a go but we were trying to beat the men and walk the ball in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
