Majkee Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 siegrist would be between posts if he was not injured. from what i have heard on radio WM last night: 1. spurned a lot of clear chances 2. some offsides (goals) debatable at least 3. shaky defence but with 16 yo talent in it (Webb i suppose) 4. great wing play (Burke?, Graham, Grealish) 5. Gardner dominating and 6. Johnson rotates great moments with poor one. 7. a monster named Sy in Marseille goal 8. non stop laughing on opps acting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonVilla Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Their keeper was a joke. He went down injured constantly. Johnson's touch is brilliant. The wing play from Cameron and Carruthers was excellent, and was the main reason why we were dominating the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Great game last night, just a shame it was ruined by some shameful diving. Their goalkeeper has to be the worst I've seen in a long time, I know he must be young but christ if that's the best they have in their youth they should be worried, summed up by my dad "They call him the cat, the dead cat!". Carruthers was brilliant for me and I think if he hadn't have gone off injured he might have made that bit of difference for us to have gone and won it. Hope we are in it again next year as it was a great night, best of all it cost nothing to go including free parking! Well done Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be a massive positive when you are trying to recruit young talent. Can you imagine the scenario for good local youth talent - come to a very successful youth academy with a fantastic base at Bodymoor Heath and Tony McAndrews in charge with the chance to play against the youth set ups of Europe's premier teams in front of big crowds/on tv OR join the Scum and train on the north face of the Eiger (i.e. Wast Hills!). :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I was very impressed with several of the players yesterday. I think that Johnson might become a real player, as will the winger (Cameron?). The two young strikers looked good (Burke and Drennan) and the winger who came on as a sub (Grealich) looked extremely gifted technically. Bright future for several of the players, me think.

LambStockmix Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Bloke behind me summed up my feelings after the game. "We should've left 'em to the Germans". Tossers, the lot of them, complete disgrace. Lame thing to say and agree with. What a lame thing to comment on, I'm pretty sure it was a joke. Some people really need to get a life. sigh. OBVIOUSLY I'm aware that the two gentlemen are joking. It was just a very lame joke. Especially when the two people enjoying the 'hilarity' weren't even directly involved in fighting the war. I hate that humour. Dry as old bones. Anyway I'm here to talk Villa, not get annoyed by ignorance. I apologise for pointing out the idiocy.

kidlewis Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's a shame we will have a better chance at buying their players in the future considering we can pay them more and the French league is terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on nextgen website. Good news if it's definite Radio WM had the game live last night and featured interviews with U19 players and staff tonight one of which was Tony McAndrew who confirmed we are in the tournament for the next 2 years at least.

JulieB Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yeah Brommy is spot on. We've signed up for at least 2 years. It's mentioned in one of the interviews/reports on AVTV as well IIRC. Those in the team that tweet (that I know of) are bitterly dissappointed and angry at the lineswoman's decision and the play acting that went on in extra time. "mikeydrennan my goal was never offside!! #blindwomen" JackGrealish1 Watchin the highlights from last nite. Gives me shivers watching our goal lol #Goodtimes ! Sum1 plz tell me how @mikeydrennan that offside ? @mikeydrennan i no @JackGrealish1 i was never but they are cheating c***s #pricks Gards38 Gary Gardner So gutted thanks for all the support villa fans were great! Should have got more Gards38 Gary Gardner Just watched the highlights from last night! Wasnt offside at all! We got robbed! Horrible feeling! Still feel sick gutted! Keep strong!!!!

villaglint Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just watched the highlights - real heart breaker - deserved more. Have to say every time I have watched Daniel Johnson play he has impressed me. Long way to go from youth to senior level. As much about mentality as ability. But my fingers are crossed for him.

hogso Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 For those curious the semi between Marseille and Inter is on ESPN at the moment. Ajaz beat Liverpool 6-0 in the other semi. Rather than taking place in Abu Dhabi, though, the semi is taking place in the rather less sunny setting of Brentford (Griffin Park) Currently 1-0 to Inter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
