FC Groningen vs Aston Villa

[JPartington]

Good game to pass the time. When Villa get the ball, count to 5. If Villa still have it on 5, they get a point, if they don't, you get a point.

I used to play a similar game with N'zogbia in relation to his retention of possession. Worryingly, it has now spread to the entire team.

I can't believe anyone really thinks we don't still need to add several players, better ones than those we already have, rather than more of the same old guff.

Don't remember anyone saying that to be fair.  The only real debate seems to be which areas need the most attention.

All of them?

We cannot afford to let lambert have the money however.  He's totally useless.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Encouraging stats.

Successful passes: Groningen 466, Villa 231.

225 of ours were made in our own half under no pressure. 6 in their half (probably just over the half way line).

Decent bit of play that. Something changed with the subs.

Even Keeper?  Think a lot of clubs would like to have a number one and two like Guzan and Given, and a promising third choice keeper.

Agreed.

Gardner, Herd and Stevens, a triumvirate of shitness.

Agreed.

But we also can't afford to not let him have the money, this squad is laughably poor.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Lambert is not going anywhere. The idea if starving him of funds is just crazy. But Lerner seems to be doing just that this window.

Charlie Zog. One of the few quality players we have.

Great free kick from Bacuna. 3 - 1.
