Aston Villa v Bolton Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[sfx412]

I'll be shitting myself when we come across some quality opposition.

You are the smart arse who criticised my opinions in the Generals thread when I said KM was no more than a reserve team coach, amongst others.
Seems you have changed your mind of late, good for you.

Now engage a little intelligence here. It's going to difficult for you, so I'm typing a little slower. Do you honestly believe that was Bolton's reserve side? And more importantly, do you honestly believe we'll be fighting "against" relegation this season? We're lying 8th, a new manager who has a reputation of his teams almost always being top 6, and a transfer window in January to make some changes. Or are you just being the drama queen you always are?

Obviously although others see my point its too difficult for yourself.
I'm just being a drama queen sweetie go and play with your Barbie doll, sorry and all that xxx

Just back. In haste. Predictable dire fare, lets hope things pick up when Houllier arrives. Petrov has to be dropped.

[BILL DE VALL]

Again3 wingers and no target man
Ammo but no gun
providers but no finish
Petrov or ireland never both
we need NRC to play every game until we buy a better/bigger Defensive midfielder
Dunne needs 4 weeks of fell running-no eating

we need to play it on the deck until wide then cross to a big man
or ball in behind to gabby
not hoofing it forward
a houll revolution cannot come soon enough

Ok, Mrs O. We'll be fighting relegation this season. I'll look forward to your revisionism in May.

The keeper has more PL experience then Guzan, and looks a decent prospect. Ok, the defender was out but that means they had two players out that from their normal first eleven, hardly a reserve side.

They never normally do well against us at VP but then we have already covered that. Maybe because Cahill wasn't playing he didn't have his normally atrocious game against us we have had the last two seasons.

The keepers played once before hasn't he ? There was no Ricketts, no Jaaskelinen, no Cahill, Imagine us without Dunne, Collins and Friedel,  Cuellar was replaced before half time and we lost what would you be saying ?

this is the same Cahill who was torn to shreds on his last visit to Villa Park? You're right I wish we had played their first team.

Dire.


Reo Coker is a MUST if Ireland is playing.

Petrov MUST be dropped, contributed nothing at all today and his passing was poor.


Taking off the only central midfielder passing the ball and leaving on 3 wingers to bring on Carew was about as tactically unfathomable as MON taking off the left back for 18 months before Warnock arrived.

Gabby looked done in 40 mins in.

Young looked like he was doing everything for a long time then got kicked out of it.



HOWEVER.... for all our issues, Mike Dean confirms his status as the biggest c*nt ever to referee for me. The overstated signals, the glee in upsetting the crowd, the love of the controversial.
Knight and Kevin Davies should have seen red, and he should have blown for a 2 footed lunge on Warnock in the build up to their goal. He is a complete knob, that makes the most infuriating decisions ever. How a Bolton player can get away with ripping a players shirt from his back without a card is criminal.

Criticising YOUR opinions doesn't make anyone a 'smart arse' given that 998 times out of 1000, you're either wrong, trolling for effect or being a dramatic little princess.

ah the silly names again, brilliant.
I said it was a relegation style performance, OK.
I did not say we are relegation material, far from it, as my subsequent (look it up) comments highlighted.
I'm putting the onus for a very poor performance on to the manager KM, Not Houllier just in case you don't understand although why he didn't go down and sort the idiot out I know not

To be fair Ozz, Bolton should have had two penalties.

[Rigadon]

To me the side looks low on confidence and they just don't seem to believe they're a good team anymore. 

As another poster said, certain players were hiding which is not a good sign.  The formation needs to change but more than anything that bunch of players need to be reminded they finished 6th and not 16th last year.  We have a Milner shaped hole in the midfield but we ought to be able to cope better.

[ozzjim]

Didn't think either were though Paul. And how many times Knight was allowed to wrestle Gabby without any comeback was a disgrace.

[PaulWinch again]

I thought they were, but I do agree about Knight he was all over Gabby all the time.

[BannedUserIAT]

A shame we didn't give them Curtis Davis. We might have won!

Live neither of them looked like pens. On replays there would have been no arguments if given. Especially the Dunne one.
