Bent's hold up play was poor today i could see Gabby getting annoyed with him. I don't rate Bent anyway i think he's too sloppy and could do a whole lot more instead off goal hanging for 75 minutes every match. Harsh but true!
How the fuck are we meant to tighten up our midfield when our only options are attacking players who would exacerbate the problem? A bit of perspective is needed.Clark or Jenas coming in may go some way towards tightening it up but both were injured today so we could hardly pick them. Are we expecting Ireland to do a defensive midfield role?
Quote from: taylorsworkrate on September 17, 2011, 05:00:44 PMA very dull, average match between two very dull, average teams. The only thing that suprises me about our crippling mediocrity is that i'm still suprised by it.If anything Newcastle can feel slightly aggrieved they didn't win.Of the bar, how many first class saves from Given.....................If I was a Geordie fan i would be crying into my soup.....

The sight of Peter Grant and Alex McLeish pointing blankly at one another on the sideline is already wearing thin for me I'm afraid. Clueless doesnt even come close
Bannan only played today because Heskey was injured, soonest he could he got him of the field.he doesnt like Bannan, he doesnt rate Bannan, he doesnt want to use him if he can help it in his team set up, Bannan will have to be MOTM every week to keep his place, AM looks for every excuse not to play him.todays performance was very reminisant of a lot of games played over the last 4 seasons, wasnt the worst certainly not the best, i can live with it to be honest,what i cant live with is the manager not wanting to play the best midfielder we have got, and leaving players on who are woefully out of form, N'Zog is trying to get into the top '5 of worst players for Villa' on the memories thread, if he carries on this way he'l be making it
