Hewigi 127 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Good window overall for us-ish. We're still crying out for a ball winner and wingers to supply Bent/eke though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I obviously want something out of this game and would be disappointed if we lose but today really is all about the performance leading into the run of games after this one, we could pick up a fair few points.

So we will have to wait till next week to see him, and Bennett is also left out the squad for some reason. Cheers ! we need all the well wishing we can get ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magic J 10,640 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Have to say since moving here, Lowton has impressed me. Far from perfect but considering he is making the step up from league 1 to the premiership he has done fantastically. Trys to play the ball out, positionally sound, gets caught out a little here and there but considering his age and the fact he has been thrown in at the deep end iv been very impressed. Holman seems to try and do the right things but just cant pull it off UTV ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im really intrigued to see Benteke, hopefully develops into a great player for us ! Performance wise then, I think that was pretty good. Few misplaced passes or over hit passes in the final third but generally speaking we are looking good. Wouldnt mind retaining the ball a little better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CB, Winger and maybe a 2nd keeper if guzan takes the number 1 jersey!! Can't wait to see Benteke play for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magic J 10,640 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Started this half brilliantly, Bent should of shot then but messed around with the ball and had to lay it off. We should of done better Ben Arfa just scored a worldy. What can you do Undeserved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing could have been done to stop that HBA finish, unbelievable. Guzan proving he was worth keeping? Think him and Given are too solid 'keepers to have, but Shayo's confidence is very low.

swanseajack 11,427 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Thought we played well enough for a point today but gave away two very cheap goals and didn't take our chances. I think it was a fairly even game on the whole, I thought we were the better team in the first half and you were the better team in the second half but it was frustrating to concede two goals against the run of play. Encouraging away performance for us though, created plenty of chances, looked dangerous out wide and our make shift defence did ok. Thought you played well, Brad Guzan made a few very good saves, Ron Vlaar looked very good and El Ahmadi does look like a very tidy midfielder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A win against a good footballing team who were on great form. Very encouraging. Two good performances in a row now ! Benteke Lowton was very impressive today too !!

koplfc 8,428 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Re: Official Aston Villa Thread ! * no spoilers * Sounds very promising. How has Holman been? Is he going to be a regular or is he just filling in until Albrighton returns from injury? I think Albrighton would be perfect in Lamberts system, but i haven't seen Holman yet so can't really compare the two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benteke Lowton was very impressive today too !![/quote'] Yeh I know what your saying as well. We did start off very well, then after the goal the game turned a bit but I still think we were the best team in the first half as we got back in to it towards the end. The same probably happened the opposite way around in the second half. We didn't really get in behind you, bar the Graham air shot which he really should have buried but you didn't get in behind us either bar the second goal really either. I'm still encouraged by the performance though, we rarely played that well away from home last season. Thought Lowton was good and obviously got a goal as well, but Lichaj wasn't very good on the either side. That being said Dyer did make Steven Warnock look like a toddler in this fixture last year. Did you go today? I didn't go today as I went last year and loved Villa Park. Oh and Cheer on Stan! Not really sure why there was a minutes applause, but good to see both sets of fans joining in.
