dudevillaisnice Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ian Culverhouse was shouting consistently at him was poor again but luckily there no was Dyer to expose him further. Think they've realised they have bought a dud.. another dud to add to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG_Villa_Fan Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Enda and Lichaj were at least as good/bad as Bennett and Luna who cost 4 million pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Even when people are shouting at him to stay in the right possison he fails to. Edited December 28, 2013 by Skruff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'd feel more comfortable with Clark at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I would accept a few mishaps from a full-back if he is incredibly gifted going forward, consistently delivering the crosses and shipping in 5-8 assists each season. I feel great teams/managers want to have one very good defensive defender and one attacking on the other side. That brings stability in terms of attacking power and defensive stability, even though it can/will bring a few goals at the back because of the exposure created. In the long run the attacking full-back will contribute with assists and a lot of play resulting in tons of goals etc. Luna has an offensive mindset as he is often staying very high up the pitch, his positioning is woeful and his pace is lacking given this approach. The problem is; he doesn't have a clue when he is going forward, his crossing isn't there, his link-up play isn't there and he offers no danger when he is on the other side of the pitch. What we have is an attacking full-back who can't create a goal for his life, and at the other side he is letting the other team do whatever they want. He got that goal against Arsenal when they were playing 10 strikers and looking for an equalizer, even Guzan could have sprinted to score so to speak. It's pretty evident that Lambert's scouting and accumulated signings have been an utter failure. Benteke aside, and we all know miracles happen, pretty much everyone have been miserable. Vlaar has been good and I had high hopes for him, but again, he was already in the Dutch squad and his age is very right for a leader ready for the Premier League. But the other guys, the "strategy", they have all been atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Are we sure he's a footballer and not a fisherman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 He wasn't that bad today. He did ok defensively despite not being taken on much. If people want to have a go at one of our full backs then have a go at Lowton who was woeful. At least Luna got across the halfway line and won a couple of corners.

sne Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) He's just useless, even Lambert & Culverhouse must be getting sick barking at the moon about his positioning Edited December 28, 2013 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 He was shite and has been for nearly all the season. Defensively weak and when he offers nothing going forward he might as well be Joe Bennett. Having said that, Lowton was just as bad. I watched our full backs tuck in time and again, leaving acres of space for their wide players. In fact, we were so narrow, I was worried that Ben Davies was going to build a farm and fill it with sheep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Meant to say, did anyone see Lichaj for Forest the other night? We let him go and have two much weaker players at the club. Only one man to blame for that, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 To be honest all our defenders are going to make a mistake a two when we have no possession of the football and have to defend for around 80 minutes every game. Maybe if we kept the ball and attacked these mistakes would come down and they wouldn't look so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Enda and Lichaj were at least as good/bad as Bennett and Luna who cost 4 million pounds. And we are supposed to trust Lambert with more money after bone-headed decisions like that. Edited December 28, 2013 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I was one of the guilty ones not that I think Bennett's any good either. In fairness he did very well against Walcott on the opening day, a pacy wideman and also against Liverpool. Was amazed Swans didn't bring on Routledge in the second half to test him.
