romavillan Posted December 21, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2011 yeah ireland injured. good first half from us, apart from the penalty. we can get something out of this game if we can keep pressing how we did in the first 45. shame for ireland, he had some good touches and was gettingin goalscoring positions. hopefully wee barry can do some more of the same second half. we look a LOT better than against liverpool, we should stick to this shape for a few games. let's hope heskey stays injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Missed the first 15 but we've looked pretty good this game so far - let's hope we see more of the same in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 more like it tbh, even if we lose this at least we are having a go, more of the same second half plz Yeah that'd be great.....another 45 minutes without a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted December 21, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2011 yeah we're playing quite well but i think we need to explit their right side more as that right back is on a yellow and doesnt seem to be able to cope with nzogs skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VamosMiAstonVilla Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Playing ok but Arsenal in 1st gear. Albrighton has looked sharp, Nzogbia lively. Gabby poor. Still we don't have any tactics and or attacking blue-print as such. Slightly more confident now Bannan is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanpabloangel18 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 if bent had been playing we'd be 2-1 up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to score goals to win games and stay in the Premier League. Aston Villa have managed one in five games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walesavfc Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 from bbc site Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal David Ornstein's HT snapshot: "An opening 45 minutes completely dominated by Villa ends with Arsenal taking a lead into the break. It's a funny old game. Plenty of chances for the hosts but this is why they've failed to score in four of their past five games. No cutting edge. Unlike Arsenal and that man Robin van Persie."

bose Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 A completely different Villa side the first twenty minutes but the same old in the last 25 minutes. If we see more of the former in the second half then we might even have a chance of getting the three points here. Just trying to stay positive.

maqroll Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Pretty good first half, to be fair. Walcott's move was very nice, but why grab his shirt and give away the penalty? Zog has looked good apart from some of his final balls into the box (or not) Good possession and composure against a quality side. I predicted 1-1, and it's still doable. If the Fonz is on the bench, I'd like to see him upfront with Gabby second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockafella Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Wow! At last! I've been waiting for this all season! We are actually having a go. Easily our best 45 minutes of football all season. I like the look of the team, shame Ireland come of but what an inroduction from Bannan, so close. Nzog playing the best game he's had for us, looks like the player we all hoping he would be this half. We've made Arsenal look poor. Brilliant first half, such a shame about the pen but if we play that good 2nd half we should get a result but if we don't I'll be much happier that we finally give it a good go and won't mind as much losing like this. Team selcetion has probably been forced with injuries etc which I'm glad about. Hope some of these players get a run in front of some of the people that are out (except Bent) - come on Villa, Keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
