Give me a team who tries to play over one that hits 70 yard passes in order to win throw ins any day.  Take your point but I thought we looked pretty sensational at times last weekend against West Ham - they can play but they aren't good enough to do it against teams who play 10 men behind the ball

i disagree, they now have a very good non-footballing reason which allows them to save face. 

The worst decision Houllier has made whilst in charge was appoint McAllister.

I'd rather see a team that plays to its strengths. And one that wins matches when it still isn't technically safe from relegation. Once we are safe, then we can play sexy.

Agree, Jimbo. Stoke are well organised and a physically strong side who can play a bit. We continue to look nervous everytime we have the ball, our only threat comes from Luke Young and Walker on the wings. Ashley and Downing are like Paulie's description of Spurs - "all fart, no shit".

Petrov and NRC need to start contributing more. Petrov did it once but we need to have more of a plan than getting it out to Young and Downing. We could start by playing it on the deck as we're winning sweet FA in the air.

Petrov, Walker, Downing and, because he did one thing that nobody else can do, Bent have stood out. The rest need to buck up a bit, though I don't think the system is working. The tactic worked last week but Sturk are so much better than West Ham in the air - and us, for that matter, at both ends of the pitch. Maybe Albrighton on to stretch the play a bit down the wing and give Ash more space would work better, because at the moment Heskey is looking like a waste of a name on the teamsheet today.

at this rate, he is threatening to go down as one of our best ever signings, irrespective of the price. How many players have ever made such an instant impact in a Villa shirt? I really can't think of many - maybe Dion. He should have 10 already. He will crush 20 next season, and that will really help propel us up the table as long as we can get the defence sorted.

20 - J Defoe is the 20th player to score 100 PL goals but only 4 players did it in more games (Heskey, Lampard, Scholes & Giggs). Wait.

Seriously, how may other teams play this type of hoofball?  Free kicks launched form the half way line into 'the mixer'.

Post by: PhilGibson on April 23, 2011, 04:55:52 PM
Looks like a Martin ONeill home performance from last season to me, team comes to Villa Park, tactics to nulify our pacey threat from the wings, park the bus hope for counter attacking or set piece goal, we then huff and puff for the majority of the game in their half, send in numerous crosses and corners, but ultimately come up short by lacking invention and incisive passing to break them down.

Until we bring more pace to our passing in and around the box, these kind of results will just carry on.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Stoke City Match Thread
Post by: Jimbo on April 23, 2011, 04:56:04 PM
All in all, we're a very, very drab football team indeed. Glad I didn't pay money to watch that dross. Having said that, all that matters is points now, and we got one. We need more to be sure.

Post by: mozza on April 23, 2011, 09:32:08 PM
Both teams content with a point after Bent's goal -

Did either keeper make a noteworthy save the entire match ?

Stoke score from a throw in ! how predictable was that against our defence ?

Pathetic away following from the Potteries even if they have a Wembley trip coming up.
