I agree with your second statement regarding Geremi, but on the other had Butt can't pass the ball to save his life True Butt cant pass but either can Geremi.So butt is a good tackler and will put in alot of effort while Geremi cant seem to do anything while wasting all our throw ins,free kicks,corners!

Yorkie Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 It's shocking how many people on here exclude Geremi from central midfield. Given Beye Faye Whoever Enrique Geremi Barton Emre Martins N'Zogbia Smith Yeah, i know what you mean. When i chose my team i put Geremi on the right-wing simply to have him in the team, because i think he's important for retaining possession (forget Liverpool, Geremi's the best at doing that in our team even if he isn't particularly creative). But he really should be in the centre if he plays. It might be worth playing him and Butt instead of Emre (i initially had Butt/Emre as preferred combo), because we're away from home and Emre doesn't turn up then. Plus, as i've said before, Butt and Geremi worked earlier in the season, didn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Viduka's fitness improved since last weekend? He looked terrible out there. Unless he's 100%, I'd go with Smith / Martins, and maybe put him out for the last 30 minutes, if we need him. I don't understand why Sam would play an unfit striker (Viduka) up front, and then play a fit striker (Smith) in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Great stuff Villa hammered Blackburn!Hopefully might f*** them up for us on Sat!Probably not though, I have a better feeling about it now though!Nelson will be suspended? And how many on this site who rubbish O'Neill as 'second-rate' STILL believe that ? I said last year that this season would see a vast improvement at Villa and so it has proved... Whether you like it or not, O'Neill is a really good manager and time will prove that to be the case. All those who preferred Allardyce(or anyone else of similar ilk)must be having a talk with themselves right now - if not, they SHOULD be... What happens if we go to Blackburn and get thumped ? Will you STILL continue to sneer at O'Neill !?? Point out my sneering at O'Neill please? I dont give a toss abt them,all I cared abt was that it might affect Blackburn because we are playing them next! That wasn't aimed particularly at you - there have been many MON detractors on the site and by now they are probably beginning to see the error of their ways, although I wouldn't bet on it. The comments were made to draw attention to the fact that Villa's form this season disproves their theories about MON...even given another year, can anyone seriously believe that we will have a similar run of away results with such high scores, in a team run by Allardyce..?

Plus, as i've said before, Butt and Geremi worked earlier in the season, didn't it? I would never have Geremi on the right personally, as he is only good keeping possession in the central are where he has shown that he is good at offerring a short option for the defence, and then delivering a simple pass to someone in a position the bring the ball forward and put some pressure on the opposition. Thus he helps our team take charge of the match. With Butt, it is an endless cycle of stopping the opposition attacking, losing the ball, stopping the opposition attacking, losing the ball, and this just puts the team under pressure that will lead to us eventually conceding. Geremi is someone who can really help us by converting pressure on us into pressure on them, especially when he has mobile players all around him which is the criteria I have used when selecting my team. Its a shame that people like olliemort and warrenbartoncentrepartin only judge players on goals and assists. I could see these two people wanting to throw Gary Speed out of the team before every match in the Robson era. A few facts about Geremi when he had been playing in the centre: Received more passes than any other player Has the second best passing accuracy in the team (Owen is best) Made more interceptions than any other player Made several key contributions to goals scored while on the pitch. For me, those facts explain why we have been playing badly since he has been on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
