The other games today - 2013/14


Recommended Posts

I'm impressed by Villas team. The difference of a managers.

 

People can go on about squad investment etc until the cow's come home, and if we're competing at the very upper echelons of the league, of course that becomes a very relevant consideration - but look at Villa's fucking squad, man. They're a competitive side that beat a CL team away from home on day one, now they're drawing at Stamford Bridge against Oscar, Mata, Hazard etc. Our team would shit our pants and try to keep it a 3-0 loss from the first whistle.

 

Their learning curve last season was steep, no doubt about it - but that investment in time has seen them come out the other end as a genuine team. If players go off injured/are suspended/get their heads turned, it's not the end of their world. Of course, Benteke is magic atm - but even without him, their team have some fucking balls in the way they play.

A managers philosophy and ability, tells you what need to know about Pardews.

Classic Chelsea/Ivanovic. How many times have they had someone who arguably should've been off score a winner in the last few years. Fucking countless.

 

Or someone be offside and score a title winning goal. :bluestar:
