Title: Villa's goal of the season 2014-15
Post by: Deano's Mullet on May 20, 2015, 04:35:43 PM


still one game to go yet but the O/S already giving us a choice. My vote goes to Sinclair vs WBA although I did like Bacuna's a lot too. What do you lot think?

Super Captain Delph at Wembley for me

.Two games to go...

Whichever is the winning goal in the latter game will get my vote.

At least there's a choice to be made now.

Best individual goal - Benteke v Man U
Best team goal - Delph v Liverpool

Overall winner, Delph v Liverpool

It really hits home how few goals we scored under Lambert this season, when you see Ciaran Clark's goal in our top 10 for Goal of the Season.

It's a very good header as the ball is behind him. Probably shouldn't be in the top 10, but it is a better goal than you first think.

Giving my vote to Cleverley, to me it embodied a perfect goal. Absolute lovely assist, beautiful finish, in front of a full Holte going mad, and won us the game.

In terms of skill I'd go with Gil's or Benteke's against Man United but they weren't quite the complete package for me.

Agreed, we've still got Gil's thunderbolt against Burnley and Benteke heading in the goal that won the FA Cup yet.

I went for Benteke v Manure. He can't even see where the ball ends up due to the players in front of him, and to have a keeper like de Gea not even move, quality. There's a few top notch ones though so a hard choice.

Benteke free kick vs QPR for me. Late in the game, brilliant individual skill, critical in the season and a great way to get a hattrick.

You know it's been a lean goal season when Sanchez vs Man City is in there.

Can't decide between Gil and Delph so Delph must edge it due to the opposition and the occasion.

Benteke pen against baggies.

Post by: chazvilla on May 20, 2015, 07:17:02 PM
That is true PWS, it is a good header.  I think you'd be hard pressed to see that in the top 10, in any other recent season though. I went with Gil's strike, with Benteke v Man U & Cleverley's v Everton a close second.

Considering we barely had a shot for half the season, I never expected this to get so difficult to choose!

Yeah, from 'Month of The Goal' jibes a few short months ago, it 's nice to see we banged in enough, good or otherwise, to have a competition for the best one.

I think Gil's is just magical, the deft touch and skip to bamboozle the defender and obviously the finish. Benteke's two in December were a tonic at such a lean time - it convinced me that Lambert was not the man when the Beast was scoring wonder-goals of his own making, yet Lambert couldn't get the team set-up to get the best out of him consistently.

How about Hull's second goal in the away game?

Sorry!

I went for Cleverley v Everton, for the pass and run that created it as much as the finish.

Can't believe no one has picked Sinclair goal against the Bitters. Break away from edge of our box magic pass with vision by Jack then Scottie runs their entire half cuts in and just as you think he lost it - booooom. Quality curled shot that sends us to Wembley - against them fuckers!!!
Considering we have been so shit some very good goals in there.

If you want to really "feel" the goal watch the montage from the holte cam on official site - the heart stopping anticipation then orgasmic release is incredible

I think think it is the football equivalent of that moment in music when the bass drops out, and then 'boom' - drops right back in again!

Delph v Liverpool

The build up was brilliant and that drag back is the stuff of great wonder.

 :D

Oh and can you imagine the perpetual bollocks about StevieMe and the fans' favourite send off on his birthday had it not happened

One not included that I really loved:
Benteke's header against Everton - as soon as it left Delph's boot and I could see The Beast in the box I just knew where it was going to end up!
The second's anticipation and perfect execution were bliss!

(I went for Gil's for a stunner out of nowhere, but some cracking/important goals there!)

Post by: paul_e on May 21, 2015, 10:11:31 AM
It's between the 2 benteke ones at the start for me, mainly because watching us at the time was painful, so 2 brilliant solo goals to break up the mind-numbing tedium just stand out.  I voted for the first because it's benteke doing what he's not supposed to be good at, working hard and closing down the defender to win the ball back, the followed by the brilliance all Villa fans know is there but other teams/fans just don't seem to appreciate.

I can totally understand votes for Gil, Delph and Cleverley though, all very good goals.

Our goal of the season was to stay up.

The real goal of the season will be the scuffed-in-off-someone's-arse match-winner at Wembley against Arsenal.

That said, I did pick Sinclair from the goals selected by Pravda.
