Ponky Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 While I was gutted when their 2nd went in we really didn't deserve all 3 points. I thought the penalty was very fortunate but justice in some way for Pikachu or whatever his name is maiming Westwood and getting away scot free. Weimann was doing my head in before he scored. Playing for free kicks and behaving petulantly - the he scores out of nothing and gets his head in the game. After a criminal effort in the first 30 minutes I thought Herd & Clark deserve a bit of credit for really digging in and showing some desperation for the first time in a few games. Benteke won pretty much every header on offer and was probably our best player, just shading Weimann and Westwood. Delph cops a pasting or two on this board but I thought he really put in a shift today. He and Westwood did what our midfield had been neglecting for the past 3 matches - hassling the opposition midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Read the BBC Sport report on this game, and check the comments below. "tony1965" thinks Villa fans are obnoxious and a waste of oxygen. He also says he's not a small heath fan. Why troll a message board comment section about a team you despise? what a prick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 1, 2013 They were singing "One Paul Lambert" at the Hawthorns today. They conceded the winner while they were singing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Not sure you can credit us with stopping the rot. It sounded like the only reason it wasn't another embarrassing hammering was the poor finishing by Swansea in the first 20 minutes. Ultimately a good point but another performance that makes me worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like the only reason it wasn't another embarrassing hammering was the poor finishing by Swansea in the first 20 minutes. Ultimately a good point but another performance that makes me worry. We stopped the rot because we scored 2 goals (we scored 0 in the previous 3 games) and came away with a point (we got 0 from the previous 3 games).

Hanky Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 On reflection very pleased with the point, although annoying to lose a stoppage time goal, they could have been out of sight early on. At least Benteke and Weimann looked dangerous again in the second half (and at the end of the first half). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I have to see even if we are shit in midfield and defence Lambert seems to have uncovered something of great potential in Weimann and Benteke. Herd is awful though and playing him in defence has to stop, surely Lichaj is better and a defender? We keep banging on about how great our youth teams are or should have ended up being, yet do we not have a defender in the reserve/u21 team who could come in? Yep i know we need more kids in the side like we need fat cheer leaders but...... **** anything is better than Herd there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Quality point after we got dominated for the first 20 mins, with Mechu hitting the post twice and Routledge missing a one on one, could of been 3 or 4. Didn't watch the match but saw on Soccer Saturday (Tuesday lol) that we were getting slaughted, when Jeff said there was a goal at the Liberty I thought here we go again but it was a Weimann equaiser Anyone know what formation we played today, seemed like the 3-5-2 again with Bennett and Albrighton as wing backs?? Our defence needs improving so badly (new CB/LB) from the highlights I just saw on MOTD was of Sunday League I watched recently.

Spoony Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Very pleased with the point, but that doesn't hide the fact that for periods of the game we were still beyond dreadful. Has to be sorted (but then tbf we all know that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
