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.

WHAT?  His crossing has been abysmal!!!  And he missed a one on one to put us in front!  I cannot believe you think that.  I am shocked.

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'?

Did you see the space he got from the left to erm.... score the goal?

That makes up for everything else then, fair enough, must be my mistake, he is obviously a fantastic left-winger, should be called up for England soon then!

Has Ashley Young done anything?

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

Yep, played in Downing for the shot he should have scored with and also played in Makoun near the end of the half. Nice to see him spotting the killer pass a couple of times rather than dilly and dally with the ball.

What formation are we playing?

We shouldn't be drawing with this shite. Get the ball and keep the ball Villa. Holloway hasn't got a fucking clue.

Also get some decent efforts at this woeful goalkeeper.

Can see Beattie coming on for them and grabbing a winner the fat git.

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

I didn't say they were playing "alongside" Bent now did I?

He found the post from 20-odd yards out. What a prick.
