Blackpool v Aston Villa Match Thread

[mrfuse]

Not bad Gabby looking better looks like he has license to come off the left in this game, makoun looking so neat again and walker have played well also sticking up for downing who everyone seems to hate in and around me!

This satellite set up looks impressive.

Put some hardcore eastern european grot on for half time.

We should have scored so many, I wish some chances would fall to Bent.

Whilst Downing is playing so piss poorly Bent will not get the service.  How someone thought Downing was our best player in the 1st half I'll never know, Gabby has been.  SD has been dreadful. (And I am a big Downing fan!)

Are you serious?

He's been our best player by a country mile.

Downing is not playing poorly at all.

[eamonn]

The game is crying out for Albrighton's crossing.

[Toronto Villa]

Gabby a left winger... do me a favour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he isn't playing on the left wing though. He's playing left of centre.

He has just run all thye way down the left wing and because he has not got a left foot, he has had to stop and check inside to lose the ball and then to compound it gives away a stupid free-kick. Oh by the way what the heck is 'left of centre'?

GH isn't playing with conventional two wingers up front. Both Ash and Gabby are playing either side and just behind Bent. Bent is essentially playing up front on his own and drops as deep as the half way line. Gabby and Ash are dropping much deeper to pick up the ball and supporting in attack.

looks at watch..right on cue

[TheSandman]

Has Ashley Young done anything?

Get him off for Albrighton, move Downing left and Gabby up front.

[Jimbo]

Downing's making a nuisance of himself on the wing, but his end product (oo-er) is rubbish.

He is playing 4 5 1...there is no way Ash and Gabby play "along-side" Bent

[Dan England]

Don't think Gabby or Downing have been poor at all. We've looked very dangerous going forward. We will score at least one more just need the back four and Friedel to concentrate and we'll be fine.........Honest.

[brontebilly]

Blackpool are horrific at the back. How Downing fucked up the assist for that chance was unbelievable. Crazy how open they were though it was 4 on 1. Think Gabby is playing well as is Downing but anyone who plays wide today will have a field day. Clark started rerribly but the defence has steadied since the introduction of Collins. Makoun is having a bit of a mare I think.

These guys are worse than Fulham last week and they were dreadful.

Ashley Young has played like a prat in the first half also.
