Fulham vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[ez]

We're missing Downing 

[MalcolmP]

Aston Villa 0 will be seen a lot this season!

On the positive side, we are level on points with a fantastic Liverpool team who have spent a fortune on world class
players such as Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing and have Andy Carroll -  England's centre forward for years to come

[BILL DE VALL]

bannan and/or ireland has to start the next game-we need quality balls to unlock defences
i fear he will pick the same side next game

[Holtenderinthesky]

I'm not sure what was worse; Playing Heskey or not taking him off despite his poor performance.  How was he not subbed?  Not a good sign.

[Gazza1982]

Wolves and Bolton in the automatic champions league places.

[Michel Sibble]

McLeish better start remembering how he got Rangers to play, otherwise we're going to create nothing.

I don't, I think for home games he'll do just what you suggest. I hope so, anyway.

[Holtenderinthesky]

Blackpool were top last season after a 4-0 win at Wigan.  Look what happened to them.

[PaulWinch again]

Heskey cannot play the role he did today.

agree 100%, getting selected in the first place is bad enough but to have to endure ANOTHER season of persisting with him will be hard to stomach.Should have gone a long time ago, there has to be a better option than him.

[pelty]

Yeah, I'm not going to be spending the year watching whatever that was supposed to be.

At the end of my tether.

Good. Buh-bye.

Neither can Gabby and I dont see anyone giving him and stick.........

[citizenDJ]

I think the Heskey thing we'll probably have to get used to again, it's typical of McLeish's defensive nature. He might be next to useless a lot of the time as a striker/winger (ha!), but he IS very useful when we're defending corners and free kicks. I'm not sure we need him for that, particularly if Dunne and Collins are up to scratch, but the extra heading ability is handy.

I suspect/hope that he might be a little bit more adventurous in our home games, with Ireland or Bannan starting.

[Shrek]

Very poor game, to leave Bannan on the bench and leave heskey on was terrible tactically by Mcleish.

They passed through our team at ease, Delph was very good but needs players who can pass around him, not heskey and Petrov.

[The Situation]

urgh... just looked at the formation he played.

Heskey on the left wing, N'Zogbia in the middle? what the fuck...

Why make things so difficult, why play players out of postion?

Just play Makoun, Delph and Petrov in midfield with N'Zogbia on the left wing, Albrighton on the right-wing and Bent in up front.
