Alan McCafu

TBH, his focus and knuckling-down after the treatment meted out to him over the last couple of years is impressive. Yes, I know he's been well remunerated for being on the sidelines but he still seems to have some passion for the Villa which is heartwarming.

Looking like you actually care can carry a lot of weight with fans. Guzan, Hutton and Delph epitomise this. On the other hand Cissokho always looks a funny look away from tears, while Gabby just looks vacant at all times. Benteke in recent times just looks bemused, Westwood like he should be in a suit off to the stock exchange, Gil like he should be taken back to school and Cleverley like a shit footballer.

Cleverley wasn't shit last w/end.

[DrGonzo]

Hmmmm, yes he did look decent against Championship opposition.  There's a thought.

[dcdavecollett]

That would be right at the top of the championship, then?

[Ron Manager]

Cleverley started to look the part against Bournemouth. Lets hope he carries on in that fashion. Im starting to wonder about Sylla as well.

Maybe, just maybe he could come good.

Cleverley wasn't shit last w/end.

Yes, he progressed to average. At least it's a step in the right direction.

That would be right at the top of the championship, then?

Yes, right at the top of the championship, but having rested 6 players and playing their reserves.

Didn't we make six changes though?

[dcdavecollett]

Yes -presumably, our injuries and absences count as well.

Sylla? He's off acting the twat at the African Cup of Nations trying to get players sent off. The rest of the time getting the odd game for some ragarse Turkish team. I think it's time to let him go.

that clip of him faking being head butted was utterly horrible wasn't it? He does look harder though with a shaved head even if it has seemingly contributed to making him more of a twat as you correctly point out.

I agree Cleverley has been a let down, but certainly do not agree to him being a shit player. Ferguson would not have picked him for how long if he was that. He has talent and if he is to play, it has to be in his correct position than out wide.

Hutton plays the ball, perfectly fair challenge and no mistake.

2 game ban now though!

[Brend'Watkins]

I do like Hutton and the way he now applies himself.  I can't help but feel he who would be far more suited to football that was played 40 years ago.
