West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Warren Aspinall]

They're doing my head in on Facebook please supply ammo, biggest team in midlands on one hand or plucky small club on other grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[AlexAlexCropley]

We need to work harder on defending corners. We need to work harder on keeping 2 goal leads.

We just need another midfielder. Bannan just isnt cutting the mustard. it's just such a shame how we can't see games out, Barry Bannan is not a player I want on when we're trying to hold onto lead. It's really unfortunate that Delph and N'Zogbia had to be substituted, I think we could of held on if both were playing.

Benteke has been at fault for goals conceded st corners. Not all, but more than his fair share.

Which reinforces my belief it would be better to leave him on the half way line,taking two defenders out of our box .

[Proposition Joe]

I'm so relieved we didn't lose I'm not half as angry as everyone else here we threw away a 2 goal lead.

I imagine you are more concerned about your death today.

Is that episode on today?

My nephew? The boy always was a disappointment.

Awful news, that's ruined the day

If he was agreeing he would of said agreed.You say Amen when you are taking the piss.

My last word on this, I agree that we got a bit silly with the quotes and that we should have left it there. That is why I put amen.

Agreed.I was a bit spikey it's been one of those days.Amen brother.

[Matt C]

Oh yes, and Villa oblige another player who hasn't scored for a Geological epoch.
Does that happen a lot or is it a figment of my imagination?

Players often seem to score their first goal against us too.
Jamie Carragher and Phil Jones spring to mind.

Andy Cole, Forlan...

Or just stick Benteke at the front post.

Just got back. Fully expected West Brom to come back after that first half. Charles over dribbled into their penalty area and then they went up the far end and scored. Couldnt see it but others said Benteke lost his man for their second.

Agbonlahors best game for two seasons but he had two chances in the second half which could have sealed it for us.

Dont know why N'Zogbia came off. Equally I dont know why Holman and Bannan came on they didnt improve the team.

Lihaj is just not a top class player in any position.

I think a point was the limits of our expectations and we deserved it for Bentekes first half performance.

I expected WB to come back 2nd half.  Everybody did. What happens at half time in the Villa dressing-room?
CNZ came off for a change in tactics which didn't work but could have done.

Lichaj had his best match for ages.

Not the best time for Holman or Bannan but they have been better and we don't know their instructions!

What does happen in the Villa dressing room at half time?!
(PS if this ever gets posted - issues with the website disappearing - I would like to bet on Damon.)

Am sure Holman and Bannan werent told to go out with instructions to be shite lol

Thanks best laugh today!

Forlans was his only goal wasn't it?!?

[Uknowthescore]

Even though we played really well 1st half just knew we was not going to win with recent results being the way they have been all in all a good result overall if not with a slight bit of dissapointment, special mentions to Delph, benteke, and Guzan if we play like that against Bradford we will be fine
As for the prem well it's scary shit..

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[mr woo]

Just a quick point. Admittedly a repeated one- I'd love to see John Robertson brought back in as a specialist coach to work with the wingers.

Especially N'Zogbia.

At the minute he's like a man with a twelve inch cock and premature ejaculation. (N'Zogbia that is - not John Robertson)

[adam#1]

Good to see Gabby on form. Benteke is very good, but not the finished article - drifts out at times. Shame Delph went off - he looks good, losing him and only having Bannan (too lightweight) to replace him was what led to us being under the cosh - even wonder if Holman would have been a better replacement? Lowton and Lichaj are very poor defensively. Didn't look like winning a tackle all game. Hopefully something to build on, but relegation still stares ominously at us.

Good to see Vlaar back. We've missed someone of his stature at the back.

The set up reminded me of a Gregory formation. Westwood and Delph as Taylor (Westwood obviously isn't a patch on Taylor) and Boateng, NZog in the Merse role, Benteke as Dublin and Gabby as Joachim/Vassell. Just a shame we didn't have Delaney and Wright quality on the wings.....

[Rudy Can't Fail]

First half I thought Gabby looked as good as I've seen him for a while.

aye. he's been bollocks for ages now and seems to have escaped a lot of flak for some reason. I hope this return to form isnot just because of who we were playing - he owes us some performances from now till May.

He's a striker, and he played up front today.  It's not really a surprise he played better than he does when he's out wide.

Stop talking sense, you big, ugly, drama queen.

I'm not disagreeing with the idea, but if he still wanted a role in football, wouldn't he be at Sunderland?
