CI Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Brilliant second half N'Zogbia was brilliant Mate, we just dropped another 2 points at home. Against QPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Only saw the second half - and "we were a joy to watch" I've used speech marks as I havn't said that in a long time. More of the same please. The results will come if we play like that. The last 3 games we have shown a much greater desire to pass the ball rather than just play long ball - if this is down to Keane and Ireland being in the team, long may it continue.

kidlewis Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Anyone Booing that second half performance needs to go and buy a Barcelona shirt because 38 shots on goal and a relentless 25 minutes where we should have had two penalties and a good couple of other goals is about as good as you will see from us in the last two or three seasons. Why we don't play like that more often I don't know. Perhaps it's because QPR kept hoofing it too us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Hierro Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Looking away from the horrific stuff that went on for the first half hour, the last hour of this game was truly excellent. Positives: Best half of football in a loooooooong time. Let's hope we've turned a corner, eh Two great goals, magnificent build-ups. Ireland and N'Zogbia very good I thought. Alan Hutton was a lot better tonight as well, good assist for Bent's goal Bring on Newcastle, I think we'll do 'em now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 We were shit until the own goal. Cisse was all over us. Once Warnock score that stupid comical own goal it was the fans booing that actually made the players put some effort in . Bent scored at just right time and second half we played well. Should have had a penalty. A draw at home to a injury hit QPR team tho is shit. 6 wins in 23 games tho now is utterly embarrasing. :oops: To have won just 3 games at home by February is embarrassing . :oops: Woeful stats. Woeful manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 N'Zogbia take a bow son, he was electrifying today, outstanding performance from him. Ireland and Keane very good. Bent also decent. Petrov played well. Warnock was utter drivel. Should have won that game comfortably really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Villa were great tonight we played well. The decider was the man we shall name Warnock.. He is pretty much the decider in every single game we don't win. If I was Warnock right now I'd be finding a ditch to die in as he's seriously a waste of space.. The rest of the team were great they didn't do a whole lot wrong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philgetaway Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Best ive seen Bent play for ages. Great work rate, really helps us out when he plays like that. Ireland and Keane were great. Its good having two footballers on the pitch wanting the ball. If the Ref gives the Pen at the start of the second half we win that game. We really need to stop being so defensive from the start. Play with that intensity from minute one and we'll be fine. I doubted if we could keep it up but we did. Clarke ran miles of ground, plus the Petrov 60th minute theorists will be quite this evening. As for Warnocks own goal - yeah he had a beast!! BUT Dunne needs some blame surely? Why didnt he jump to clear? Unless Warnock called? UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Zog MOTM, get him up there! Not Gabby. I like N'Zogbia, he has excellent technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 IMO Ireland was awesome again tonight, it looks like he's rediscovered some of his best form. We certainly deserved all three points, we should have had a couple of pens as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Should have won, by miles. The 2-5 penalties would have helped. Great football for the best part of an hour. Ireland, N'Zogbia and Keane were great. Never thought I would be saying this but Kean is going to be a big miss when he goes back to LA, I think he's made a massive impact in our ability to keep in down and play proper football.

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Under 33,000 tonight. Obviously don't deter to the boo boys coming. It was the actual booing that snapped us out of the shit way we were playing after the own goal. Before that Cisse and a makeshift QPR co were all over us.

The_Steve Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Keane is starting to link the ball up more with Bent which is nice to see. Intelligent player who really does give us another dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 am I alone in thinking Ireland was rather poor ? couple of slick passes was about his contribution to the game , needs more than that from him in 90 mins better performance second half but overall still not good enough McLeish out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
