Amed Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Great goal but still very boring and dull from us. No tempo in our play whatsoever- a trait in all Mcleish teams which is they are always involved in the boringest matches. We need another goal to win- stoke will force a goal in.

terrytini Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Dull dull desparately dull. Not suprised it is half empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I think they'll try and get Lichaj sent off so he needs to be careful and he needs support i think 2nd half.. I think someone like Johnson would be perfect here in my opinion, he will always look for space and pick out a pass and can run through midfield and has some pace, also quite tall-ish too.

P3te Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 our midfield looks like its over 100 years old - my dead granny moves more if we had anyone with half a brain in midfield we'd be doing a lot better with ball retention but they are all happy to stroll along besode a stoke player and not make themselves available for a pass also shay has been awful tonight - could not catch a cold! ireland is miles ahead of everyone else on the pitch, the problem is that he's so far ahead of the rest he's usually ineffective. stick another smart player in there with him and we're looking a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted April 9, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2012 really frustrating to see so little movement and desire out of our midfield - i think def bring off bannan as he is getting bullied too easily Given is having a mare - looks petrified of the stoke players and allergic to catching the ball warnock is spending more time at left back than left midfield and his passing has been dire baker looks petrified too and his passing is also dire McCleish needs to instill some confidence into these guys as they are on empty at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steell Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Why is Ireland playing so deep?? Unless we get N'Zogbia comes on Ireland is the only player who is going to do any damage to this Stoke team, as shown with the goal, so why is he sitting in front of the back 4??

Houseoftomorrow Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 They really did a montage to a defensive player at halftime of this game? J/k, Laursen deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPeacock Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 One sexy goal. Is Dean Sturridge a Villa fan? He loved it Not sure about dean but Daniel sturridge is, they are related ( unsure what relation ) so there is a chanceDean Sturridge was so enthusiastic about that goal and Weimann in general I thought we might have found SGC's real life identity. It's not the first time I have heard him co-commentate one of our games. He has been overly positive towards us on each occasion. Not that I'm complaining of course.

ryanvilla_1994 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Refs really need to start getting tough with things like that. Give 5 penalties if you want but I guarantee players won't do it again if it costs them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
