DeepDish Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sign him up for an extension of the contract. It end summer 2015. A two year extension will do fine. Good value for 3.3 mill pounds (according to Transfermarkt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 He's the one who left Lugano alone at the back post. I don't know if that was his responsibility, but he was the last player near Lugano and went with the runner inside rather than staying with Lugano. A pretty bad error if that was indeed his man. Besides that, he was typically "concrete." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodigan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 great game and brilliant to have him back in the side.... the value of a player is shown by how much of a hole he leaves when he's not in the starting XI and for us, having concrete on the pitch makes all the difference.... appears to be our most important player at the moment on that basis...

Why Lowts was on that side I have no idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowts who should have been covering where Ron went doesnt pick up Rons man. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I figured it'd have been Vlaars responsibility because you'd want a CB marking their cb, but you're right it is an odd play. Maybe he yelled at lowton to pick up Lugano and lowton didn't hear him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockStockVilla Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Love him so much. We really need to get him to do this at our last home match...in Dutch as well 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It was definitely Vlaar marking Lugano and it could have been a very costly error. These are the fine lines of prem. Other than that though he was immense, we rely on him so much and each game he isn't letting us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2014 I only saw the goal once, but thought he was at fault for their third. But solid for the rest of the night. Having a great season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Love him, he now joins the long tradition of cult Villa CBs in my mind. Thought he'd come off at half time as he seemed to be injured after the 3rd WBA goal and he was certainly struggling at the end (think that was why Baker came on just to give us more legs at the back) but loved how even then he was still whacking clearences off Albion players for goal kicks which meant we could waste more time.

R.Bear Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Vlaar's pressure on Lugano in the last minute of injury time basically saved 2 points with that missed header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I noticed him holding his hamstring in WBA game just before half time. On the radio lambert described his injury and a 'Blow' - but when questioned about his availability for next weeks games was more guarded 'well have a look tomorrow' - Don't sound great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
