brummie Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Brummie, Villa seem to have lot of trouble finding the back of the net. Do you think it's because of your striking options or the midfield? (midfield looks good on paper, but I haven't watched Villa that much this season). Both.

brummie Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 martin o'neill has spent 200M quid at aston villa Except he hasn't. How much better should we be doing? A top four ever-present in three years? It doesn't happen that way, sadly. This was a cup tie, anything can happen. Ask Man United. Or Arsenal. Or Liverpool.

Dave Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I liked Ambrose like. I say this all the time, but when we got rid I saw more in him than I did in Milner. No doubt who's better now though. But any one of Carle, Danns and Ambrose would significantly improve our centre midfield. Ditto, on both counts.

Or Liverpool. well what is the exact figure, cos from football podcast's i've been reading it's pretty close villa we're a mid-table team before o'neill came, fine they've improved but that's a lot of money in anyone's view Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's because of your striking options or the midfield? (midfield looks good on paper, but I haven't watched Villa that much this season). Just take a look at Emile Heskey's scoring record, says it all really. Well, it's not like he starts for them every week. Agbonlahor is moderately prolific but they have only 32 goals this season, by far the lowest amount of the "top 7" (top 4+City/Villa/Spurs) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought Ambrose had a decent strike and would make a half decent central midfielder for someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 It was a great strike, no-one will agree with me but I think Friedel should have done better though. The ball looked far from right in the corner. I always liked Ambrose too, can't remember who I preferred between him and Milner but it probably was Ambrose. I also said "Ambrose will score a screamer" in the Bolton game, practically every game I say "so and so will score" so it had to come right at least once but the "screamer" bit made me put on a lotto ticket that week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
