LondonLax Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yes, move Bacuna from a position he was doing very well in to a position he played poorly seems a bit crazy. Lowton might have been good last season but he's been poor this one and there should be no sacred cows in the side, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 What i think people fail to realise is that everything takes time yet, still people don’t get it.For example Hull today is a game you’d expect Aston Villa to win however, its an away game in the premier league so tough. So for all the games we expect to loose i.e Arsenal and City yet win, there will be games like today that we’ll lose and be expected to win.Ups and downs like the rest of the premier league, just making sure there are more ups and avoid relegation.Its the ridiculous overreaction that will happen IF we lose today.

dudevillaisnice Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Has to do something when we play the lesser teams and they restrict the space to restrict counters.. it just isn't working. I do hope in Jan there is money for a "10" or atleast a loan deal for a creative player. Anyway solid point but it doesn't the full story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no away games until November, so we can look at pretty much a years worth of away results going back to last October. Played 18, Won 7,Drawn 6, and Lost 5 - the 5 we lost were to last seasons Top 4, Man U, Chelsea - twice , Man City, and Arsenal. 27 Points. Our goal difference against all but the Top 4 .....+8. Why would you think 'it just isn't working' against the 'lesser' teams ? A very good set of stats if you ask me and with better home results easily Top 10.

Panto_Villan Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Have we really only lost to the "Top 4" away in the last year? If that's true, colour me impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not take a decades worth of away results and tell me how they help with this season?And if your happy with a point from the Hull game,well,we better get some better home results.

The Poster was talking about what PL needs to do with this Villa side. against the 'lesser' sides.... I am merely making the point that results pretty much stack u pwell against them. Sorry if it doesn't fit your template of wanting something to complain about. Edited October 5, 2013 by terrytini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yes, I am happy with a point from Hull. And I am happy with our overall League position. Sorry guys ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Lambert has just said and I quote " Libor led the line great again. Some of his touches and link up play were fantastic" Now surely this is just a manager wanting to avoid criticising his players in public like an anti di canio. If it isn't and he genuinely thinks Kozak was fantastic then I'm lost for words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I think things would be different if he had received the backing to bring in a playmaker for 10m in the summer. I don't blame Paul, he has done the best he can under the financial restrictions placed upon him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time he has done it having to trim the squad of big earners and find bargains. He's doing a fine job but I don't mind questioning him at the same time as he has his faults If you look at the bigger picture we are on track IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
