Aston Villa v Everton Match Thread

[Nelly]

Half time. Such a long, pointless half of football!!

[Astral Weeks]

Man alive, that wasn't pretty.

[pauliewalnuts]

That was utter dross.

[hipkiss92]

Half time. At fucking last. Can't see it being too difficult for Keane to make an impression if brought on.

[paul_e]

Terrible first half, entire back 4 have been awful, Bent desperately needs a goal and Petrov has been a passenger.

[Monty]

Keane for Bent imo. The midfield have been poor, but when they have got the ball to Bent he's not delivering in terms of build up.

Also, can we not knock it, to quote SGT. It's getting tedious.

[hawkeye]

When you have Hutton Collins Bent passing the ball to the opposition you get this sort of shit, dreadfull

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

It's a good job that our manager is going around preaching about good attacking football.

[Villanation]

Absolute rubbish

Either Ireland of or Bent of and give Keane a run out, pure relegation football here from Villa against a team that can't score.

[Summers]

Nah. He has two options and missed them both with a poor ball.  Unlucky to a degree, compared to the first which was just shocking, but it was still bad play on the edge of the box. He's looked alright aside from those two bits though.


Keane on would be good. But for who? If Ireland has took a knock, then for him? Gabby finally wide, with Keane in the 'hole' and up front.

After watching that i bet he's glad he's only here for 6 weeks

[eamonn]

How were the crowd when the whistle went, muted or a bit of booing?

[ozzjim]

Two instances there showing how Bent is off-form and how much that makes his out-of-the-box play, never his strong point anyway, really quite poor.

Thing is because they happened together people now not look at the amount of flick ons, closing down, chasing the channells etc that he has done, or how well up to then he had kept the ball.

There are worse footballers in the team. 3 in the back 4 unfortunately.

[Tucson Villain]

Very poor first half. Again.

[gervilla]

It really is hard to believe that Warnock, Collins and Hutton are international footballers.
