villarule123 Posted October 15, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2011 turned it off already, cant be arsed with this anti football garbage don't let a good half hour of football against one of the better teams in the league get in the way of bashing manager eh? sorry but i just dont like the guy as a manager he plays football the wrong way and i cant take seeing us play like this We've always been known for playing the top two teams in the league off the park away from home haven't we eh? Disgrace that we have ceased to continue. im past the stage of being angry and reacting to a post like yours we have played scintillating football in all our other games this season though, i can see your point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 15, 2011 Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2011 We giving a reasonable account of ourselves according to the radio - they just have that little bit of quality. We're nobodies soft touch which is nice to see, now we just have to find that touch of sharpness. I'm not unhappy with this performance so far, could go bad yet, but at the moment we're in this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Considering who we are playing, having half the possession and for 1/2 the game, looking the brighter team, it's not bad. I was expecting complete domination on all counts considering we are playing one of the best sides in the league. Should take Delph off for Bannan at HT though.

Guest av1 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 turned it off already, cant be arsed with this anti football garbage don't let a good half hour of football against one of the better teams in the league get in the way of bashing manager eh? sorry but i just dont like the guy as a manager he plays football the wrong way and i cant take seeing us play like this pal we are playing high up the pitch and trying to attack, away from home at a team that have £100m of player on the bench. most clubs will go to city and park the bus. its all about opinion pal, but mine is that this is not "anti football" scoreline aside, I'm happy with this.

VillaGoMarching Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Do away fans not usually make noise at city? seen De Jong and Balotelli both reacting to our lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Possession, 48% Shots, 6-5 to Man City. Hardly been anti football has it? (I'm not even a fan of McLeish but this by it's own has been pretty good and we've kept the ball along the floor for large parts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgrace that we have ceased to continue. im past the stage of being angry and reacting to a post like yours we have played scintillating football in all our other games this season though, i can see your point Yes but I'd imagine that your initial dislike of our current manager comes from your displeasure that he managed our rivals. He hasn't played scintillating football obviously, but prior to today against possibly top of the table by five o'clock, he has hardly disgraced himself in that we have not lost a game. Managers will always have to face people like you. They will never be given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 1-0 at half time is a couple of goals less than I expected tbh. Not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPeacock Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Delph put in some decent tackles today, shame he can't pass. I still say he's more an option at left back than the "playmaker" some on here suggest. I think we've done ok, just struggled to cope with City when they went up a few gears for a few minutes.

I was expecting complete domination on all counts considering we are playing one of the best sides in the league. Should take Delph off for Bannan at HT though. i missed the first 9 minutes, i presume it was all us then? because since then we have reached their area 2 times, once we managed somehow to pass it all the way back to given and the other was from a free kick which heskey facing away from the ball let it hit his fat head and go well wide. they have had close to 70% of the ball and 95% attacking compaired to us. heskey is a waste of 1 player and at the moment delph is a waste of another as when he gets it he is looking to pass it backwards rather than give it away every bloody time. take heskey off who is a complete waste of space with bent and gabby on and take delph off pack the midfield and get a tracker to take on whoever is the breaking midfielder ireland to be told to release it forwards on the ground and quickly to take advantage of gabby and gives bent time to get in the box.

NorthEastVillan Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 we have no out ball at the minute and our 3 strikers are sitting too deep and as a result we're offering nothing going forward. for 10 minutes or so we were pushing forward and looked pretty dangerous then reverted back to 11 behind the ball. hopefully will be a bit more adventurous in the second half although reasonably pleased to be only 1 down. nick one on the break and jobs a good 'n a point out of this will be a fantastic result.
