Razor Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Darren Bent is terrible, we were mugged. were you saying that at the back end of last season? he was absolutely superb for us and saved us from relegation singlehandedly If you can be bothered to search you will find i said it after about 3 weeks, he is a woeful player that scores tap ins if you constantly plant it on his foot 6 yards from goal, we would be a better team with him on the bench.

Mantis Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 What's with all the Bent hate? 14 goals in 28 appearances is a very good return. It's no coincidence that in the games where we actually have had a good this season he's scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Went out for lunch so missed the game. I was actually quite relieved that I couldn't watch it. It sounded like I made the right choice and I imagine that there will be an increasing number making the same choice if McLeish stays in charge.

It's got nothing to do with me being "happy now".. If you're going to post stuff on here, at least try and post all of the facts, if that's at all possible.

Woodytom Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Darren Bent is terrible, we were mugged. were you saying that at the back end of last season? I was. We were definately ripped off for two reasons. We cant adapt to Darren Bents game. Darren Bent cant adapt to our game. For 18m I expect him to hold the ball up a little bit better than he did today. Thought he was absolutely awful - our worst player. At least he scores week in week out though SGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 We started with a midfield including Heskey, Herd and Delph! Possibly the worst midfield we have started in the last few years IMO. How any manager could look through the players we have and decide those 3 are the best to play is a mystery to me. Therefore, Mcleish out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquesderrida Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Albeit watching on a crappy internet stream, Jenas looked quite lively to me. Lovely volleyed pass to Bent, putting him one-on-one (the chance where the goalkeeper blocked, but Bent was adjudged offside, incorrectly). I don't think I'm making this up.

Woodytom Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I actually thought that one of the positives of today was how Delph and Herd coped. They were no worse than any CM pairing Ive seen in 18 months at Villa Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bent nowhere to be seen. Jenas put him through (albeit he ended up offside) and he made an arse of that. Hes shot from the edge of the box was one of a player with absolutely no idea what to do in that situation. DOnt blame the service. He was awful today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 A truely terrible game, as much as we like to moan about it I think I'd show the credits before I showed us on motd tonight pissed me off a treat that the muppets behind me were more interested in fighting anyone who was a welsh villa fan because we are an English club and in a guys own words when you go away with England these welsh villa fans will slit ulyour throat in your sleep rocket polishers the lot of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryToast Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Given 7 - Fair props, don't think many of us would have played after hearing a close friend had died two hours before KO. Hutton 4 - Dodgy tackles all over Dunne 6 - Not bad at all Collins 5 - Better than last week (thank ****) Warnock 6 - Solid Herd 5 - Not his best, but still fairly solid Delph 4 - Poor tackling, surprised he was still on the pitch at the end of it all. Still have a bit of faith. N'Zogbia 6 - Better, struggling with the final ball still Gabby 7 - In the form of his life Heskey 4 - Meh. I don't usually beat down on Heskey but he really didn't add much today. Bent 5 - Could have been better, but so could have the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
