brummie Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 o get knocked out?!? I'm sure all Villa fans will be pleased with the team selection tonight when they finish fifth and get to watch the Waffa final from the comfort of their living rooms. The point being that having rested so many players this evening, and currently being fourth by six points, we've given ourselves a better chance of not finishing fifth. There's no givens in football, we're doing well but there is a long way to go - there's also no given that we'd have reached the final. There's a huge, huge difference to being in the CL and the UEFA Cup. We might end up not in the CL and we're not going to win the UEFA Cup, but it is a gamble. He;s having a go for it, and I think he is right to do so. Trust me, I've seen pretty much all of our games this season, and we've not got the squad (particularly given current injuries) to progress in the UEFA and finish top four. We've got two fit centre halves, Bouma is still fucked, Heskey is carrying an injury, NRC has been out for a while, Carew now has a back injury again. It is all well and good saying "have a go for it", but i'm guessing it isn't quite so simple when you are the man making the decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 That season we finished fifth and lost in the semi final, given the choice it would have been the trophy every single day of the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darth Toon Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Defending like that is why West Brom are going down. Loving Carson with his 4 fingers held up; "how the fuck were there 4 of them completely umarked right in the middle of our box??" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Defending like that is why West Brom are going down. Wouldn't mind seeing us sign Morrison in the summer if we want to add another decent squad player in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
