grobs Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Another clean sheet with him in the team. He needs to stay fit for us to stay up. With Okore coming back next month our defence will have a huge boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Another clean sheet with him in the team. He needs to stay fit for us to stay up. With Okore coming back next month our defence will have a huge boost. Okore coming back could be very important for us this season. We wouldn't be in this relegation battle if he'd stayed fit. Not to put any blame on him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Villa have lost just 2 of the last 11 games Ron Vlaar has started. In one of those we was winning when he went off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaForever1970 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I assume he’s now injured again as thats how it seems to work? Hopefully a sunny rest for 12 days will do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He's ridiculously important to us. no disrespect to him....but that shows the flaws we have in the team and the ridiculous situation we have allowed ourselves to get in. .....at some stage we have to take action to redress that.

legov Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah but most sides wouldn't suffer to this extent even if they had their first-choice centre-backs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 So he's 29 eh? I thought some said he was like 32 :'( haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yeah but most sides wouldn't suffer to this extent even if they had their first-choice centre-backs out. Is it how good Vlaar is ? - or how poor the replacements are ? - If when Vlaar was injured we had another decent calibre CB to step in, his absence wouldn't be so painful. Really poor from Lambert to have only 1 senior CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah but most sides wouldn't suffer to this extent even if they had their first-choice centre-backs out. not really true. different level but City defence looks relegation standard by removing Kompany and putting in Lescott or Demichelis same with Barcelona and Puyol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really poor from Lambert to have only 1 senior CB How do we know he didn't try to rectify this? We hear nothing from the club regarding potential transfers or transfer targets. For all we know he was doing all he could to bring someone in, but there was no-one better available within our budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The stats almost make out we're a one man team. And he's a defender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yet the assertion that he 'only looks good because of the players around him' comes back again. Why can't we, as fans, celebrate a decent player as a decent player without slagging them off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
