Quote from: Olof's Beard on March 17, 2024, 04:32:46 PMLenglet didn't play for half a season and as a fifth choice centre half, has been fine and at times, very good. He didn't play well today but you could see some of that was attributable to playing on the right not left. Plus the centre halves all suffered on the ball because there was nobody to pass to first half.I hate all this 'so and so gave one of the worst performances ever' or 'he should never play again' whenever a player has a poor game.Me too. Some posters talk about certain squad players as though it's the 2015-16 squad. it is absolutely pathetic given the season we are having.Zaniolo is another example. Gets dogs abuse here. Has won us two points this season with crucial goals and that ight be what gets us into the European cup for the first time since 1983.

Probably Martinez on his own.He's been weak in quite a few games now . Probably why he's 5th choice . We could have started without him today and last weekend.All the back four were awful in the first half. Leaving Cash on the bench so both Konsa and Lenglet could struggle out of position was bonkers stuff from Emery. And yet, his in-game management saw what was happening and he had the bollocks to change it at half time. I'm happy to back a guy who has transformed this squad. He doesn't make mistakes, the players do.

Hopefully that's the last we see or Lenglet.
Thought we were going to lose that. Moyes changed the tide with taking a forward off for a defender on 65 mins at home. Bizarre decision that played straight into our hands. Thought we were a bit fortunate with the first VAR call. Second one at the end was correct. A very useful point.
When my phone pinged to say we were 2-0 down, I went for a walk. Was quite pleased to later discover we had drawn 1-1.Decent away point in the circumstances.
What was Zaniolo's 'shush' in aid of?

He practically threw it in .
Thanks Wince, made my day! I didn't think anybody liked them at all!!Edited to say I have seen a lot of bad managers at Villa, I just am desperate for us to appreciate the fact that we may well have a once in a generation one at the helm and to be patient. He is doing wonders for us
