Big_John_10 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 So challenging for a ball and not winning it is now creating a goal? If it's an intentional dummy I could agree but it's not. And the whole remove him from the equation thing is ridiculous. Next time we score from a corner are we going to credit the 3 or 4 players standing in the box with creating the goal? I wonder how much credit bent or Heskey would have got for the same thing. Maybe it's the wording but I just can't agree that he made the winner. He challenged, like he should have done, and that caused problems but he didn't create anything. I still don!'to see how anyone can claim he set up a goal in that game. I'm stunned by this, how on earth you can say that baffles me. As above if he does'nt go for the ball the defenders win the ball. Simple. His challenge and run helped. But it's not an assist or something that can be credited with creating the goal IMO. You're totally deluded mate, I'm sorry the corner comparison is bat shit and has nothing to do with this goal. There were 4 players involved, if Kozak doesn't jump and kick his leg out to try and get to the ball then Kompany heads it clear with no chance of Weimann getting to it. It isn't an assist but without kozak it isn't a goal. It's so obvious I can only think you are trolling. You've agreed with me so how am I trolling?

Isa Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Kozak meant to flick it on but missed it. Not sure he should be getting lots of credit for something he didn't mean to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Kozak meant to flick it on but missed it. Not sure he should be getting lots of credit for something he didn't mean to do. He is getting credit not for the flick, rather how he made the Citeh defenders focus on him rather than the ball which allowed the ball to go on through to Weimann. Without Kozak there, those defenders easily clear the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like giving Guzan special praise for being positioned between the sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted October 19, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I think we really need a new game to have something to discuss again. All threads for the past week have been the same. Edited October 19, 2013 by AVTuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomaspg Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 i hope he gets 20-30 minutes on the pitch at the end of the game, even if hes fully fit, dont want a too much too soon scenario! dont know much about hip injuries but it doesnt sound like something you want dragging on through the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Missed an open header...should have hit target and it would have been 1-1... Spurs were not better than Villa today, they just scored two lucky goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Missed an open header...should have hit target and it would have been 1-1... Spurs were not better than Villa today, they just scored two lucky goals. Only Benteke could have managed to get anywhere near that cross & it was a pretty good leap considering he hasn't played competitively for almost a month. I'm pretty sure a 100% match fit beast would normally have buried that one in his sleep. At least we carried a threat with him on the pitch. Welcome back beast, your club needs you & you will make the ultimate difference to our overall fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match fit or not, open header should be goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The Ball was always above him. He's always going to be slightly rusty after having a whole month out of competitive football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
