mikeyp102 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 What do people think of Scholes? After years of him being silent, I'm not sure I'm that happy hearing him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't rate Mingolet but what was Neville's reasoning for that bold statement, footwork, too far off his line? Neville's probably the best football pundit on any channel tbh but I don't really agree with that opinion. too low in his stance, and he was right, mignolet was pretty much bent over, hands half way down his shins, no one in front blocking his view so there was no reason for it, showed 2 examples from last season where he was the same, means he can be beat by shots going over him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV54FCLE6Ho really interesting, i didnt rate mignolet anway and can remember the ramsey goal but hadnt spotted it before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Really interesting that, Neville again looking at the small details. Paul Robinson always used to be like that even at his peak with Spurs. Would never move his feet when dying and so many long range shots beat him.

Mantis Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't understand how Gary can be such a great pundit (although still a poor commentator) yet Phil is so awful at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yep. Robinson used to be really good at making easy saves look incredible. When he was actually tested he was never up to much. Mignolet is similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted September 30, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't understand how Gary can be such a great pundit (although still a poor commentator) yet Phil is so awful at it. Didn't you see them play? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2014 Also, I'm glad that video focused on Howard as well. Possibly the most overrated goalkeeper in world football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 but at the world cup he had a habit of pulling off world class 2nd saves, the fact that the 1st save was poor and forced him in to making a 2nd one was lost in the mire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2014 Nearly everytime I see him play he drops a clanger. Excellent shot stopper and by no means a bad keeper, but makes big errors. He seems to be held up as one of the best keepers out there (albeit below that top tier of world class) and I really don't think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 There is a lot of American cheerleading for Howard online which is probably because they are desperate to have a "world class" player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 A long time then. I like Kevin Kilbane. I think he should be a regular on MOTD 1 I was watching that God awful MOTD programme on Sunday at lunchtime, the one where they discuss games and incidents without having any highlights or replays what so ever to back them up. Anyways, Kilbane was trying to argue how it isn't fair on Chelsea that City have got Lampard in on loan, when challenged, rightfully, that Chelsea let him go and can have no complaints he was flummoxed. I don't think he is a very bright boy, he is very boiring, backs down on his arguments too much and I don't like the gap in his teeth or his dodgy hair.

Alpaywasawesome Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 He made a great penalty save against us last season.. To be fair, any decent keeper who's done their homework on Benteke would have saved it. Benteke is a crap penalty taker. He strikes them to his left, not with very much pace nor very precise placement. Last season both Szczesny and Howard knew where Benteke was going to place his penalty and saved them.

Not as bad as JPA. I still have nightmares of his side footed, scuffed, inside the near post efforts. It looked good the first time he did it, he then repeated it 95% of the time with disastrous results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
