KaKa Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 So relieved we didn't concede before halftime. Absolutely massive. Barton makes such a huge difference to our midfield it's crazy. He's running things in there. Hughton has also clearly worked on our short passing a fair bit. It's not always perfect, but we're not afraid to try and play the ball around a bit.

Guest elbee909 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Nice 18 page thread about this match on RTG. Fucking idiots. will check it out, wonder what shit they are attempting to stir. I'm sure it's meaningless, because, y'know Villa don't have a manager and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It's so frustrating, I just don't know what a professional manager can see Smith and Nolan offering to that line-up. To answer my own question, they're not great individual players but they've been playing together with the team for a long time and I'd be surprised if we'd have the same understanding, movement and fluency if you just replaced them with better players straight away. I'm very surprised we're still able to move the ball about as slick as we do. So, I suppose I do see the merit. Not entirely sure I agree with it going forward in the future, but after a mere half of football I'm kneejerkingly willing to eat humble pie and admit that there is at least one reason why they might deserve a starting berth.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Carroll & Enrique have been immense. Hopefully we'll play it simple and contain in the second half. I'm buzzin'! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Carroll is going to be a top player by the way, he is just a huge threat and bearing on unplayable. Like your saying with a good second striker off him that could be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Carroll has been immense. Imagine we had a good second striker. Hopefully this game doesn't affect our dealings in the transfer market. Imagine if we had got Bellamy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 We look great, have to be careful at the back, Harper has been woeful. We have been lucky but we have looked very good Barton, Carrol, routledge, gutierrez and Enrique have been outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Christ I fucking love this club sometimes I've nearly lost my voice, and I'm only sat watching it on the telly. Can't fault a single one of them for effort. Carroll has been incredible, Jose even better. Hell even Smith is playing out of his skin at times. WE WANT SIX! WE WANT SIX!

Newcastle Fan Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Carroll and Enrique simply torn them apart, Carroll won his own flick on for that 2nd goal. really wish Smith scored that and we got a 4th, would've been the best half i've seen us play in my life.

thomas Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'll be the first in line to slate him normally but Smith has shown up more in this game than he has for a long time and it really shows in how we're doing retaining the ball and going forward.
