vandaq Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah, this can`t keep up. People who actually say we didn`t need defenders this january is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 How on earth vlaar is being mentioned in the same sentence as either Mcgrath, mellberg and laursen is just pathetic. Its like comparing sol cambell with bobby more!.. We will see what kind of a man and player vlaar is today against andy carrol. Someone of similar size and supposed aerial ability, Not giving it the billy big bollox against 5ft 2" Nathan dyre!.. It's far worse to compare Mellberg and Laursen with McGrath than it is to compar Vlaar to the two of them. They were good, but not that good.

AVFCforever1991 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Big loss, but our defence did better than expected yesterday without him. Edited February 25, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nath182 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 See him in 6-8 weeks then :-( Is that true or just a guess? I read here that he hopes to be back for Man City on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 See him in 6-8 weeks then :-( Is that true or just a guess? I read here that he hopes to be back for Man City on Monday. Guesstimate based on his last minor injury which sidelined him for 3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Is he as important as we think? I honestly don't think his presence makes too much difference to our results if I'm honest. Saturday a narrow defeat, more down to our mentality of not being able to see out games/results. West Ham, I felt we would win that game regardless. Everton away, we let 3 in, it was our good attacking play which got us a welcome point. Vlaar was even at fault for their 3rd. When we had our unbeaten run around Nov/Dec time, building up to the Chelsea mauling, Vlaar was not present in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I hope he's back for the REading QPR games that will decide our fate. Not too bothered if he doesn't make the Man City game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think his presence in the Villa defence is over rated tbh. Had a handful of really good games earlier in the season but other than that he hasn't been any better than our 'kids' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He is our best centre back, I'm convinced of that. We've looked better with him in the team since he's been back. The first goal on Saturday was avoidable and came from his position. He's good with possession too and we need his experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted February 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2013 He's one of the few talkers and he is our captain. We need his leadership more than his defensive ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He's one of the few talkers and he is our captain. We need his leadership more than his defensive ability. I agree with this. But if this is the story then I don`t know. I don`t really want a injury prone captain either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 although i agree with the fact that hes our best CB at the moment, i would say that hes probably the leagues 20th worst 'main' defender (if you was to pick the most senior defender from each club) it hit me today that if we had the money to buy 2 new defenders, vlaar would certainly be on the bench, because that is what we need, 2 CBs, not just one, hes little injuries are getting tiresome now, just as annoying as dunnes 'injury', theres too many primadonnas in this squad and this is why were fighting relegation, and vlaar is one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He's not as good as the likes of Dawson and Huth and Hangerlaand but I think he will get better next season. Keeping him fit is an issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
