Troglodyte Posted December 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm not counting my chickens, as things could always go wrong, but we are a billion times better at playing football and entertaining the fans than we were under McLeish. And I say that without a hint of hyperbole, honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It's a bright start; we could do with getting something from it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted December 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2012 What is nice to see us still looking threatening and full of ideas when we're playing at home against a side who are sitting deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Huth gets away with a late tackle on Benteke. No foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Stoke are the hillbillies of the Premier League. As the son of a hillbilly, I am offended you would compare us to stoke. Racist inbreds? Sure. But stoke is over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Barry Bannan is so wasteful. His set pieces are shit. I would like to see Ireland in his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted December 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2012 Not to bring the argument about Bent into this thread but Bent couldn't play the way we are now, its clear to see. Absolutely. He's a completely different type of striker. There are a lot similarities between this Villa side and the current Dortmund team. With Lambert's background and the type of players he's brought in, I don't think this is coincidence, either. One aspect of this is Benteke's play - it can be likened to that of Lewandowski at times. He pulls back into the middle and distributes the ball quickly to other forwards or midfielders, but frequently he'll often be getting into the box and finishing chances too.

Was watching the the Dortmund game before the lads kicked off. Started off exactly the same as we did in the first 15 minutes but are now 2-1 down. Hope we can avoid that today Do love the way Dortmund play though, would be fantastic to watch that sort of football from Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
