Ronaldo Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Saw none of the game but totally unsurprised by the fact we failed to score. There's an absolutely astonishing lack of goal threat in that side, from the defence to the forwards. Abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Watched it in the Cock and Lion with other London-based mags. Sincere apologies to the old bloke I seemingly offended by saying 'for f***s sake we're f***ed if we have to play that c*** any more this season' when Steven Taylor trotted on. I was bang out of order for my language and even more so for voicing an opinion that showed up someone so f***ing stupid who was trying to whoop and applaud the daft c***. Sorry that you know absolutely f*** all about football and buy into his fist pumping. Congrats on also loudly announcing that Gouffran 'had an excellent game' too, you f***ing crumb.

Pilko Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I thought Colo, Colback, Janmaat and Sissoko did well. Krul had nowt to do. The rest ranged from fine/uninspiringly okay (Dummett, Anita) to utterly fucking dreadful (Gouffran, Cabella). Absolutely fucking shameful gesture that Ayoze was subbed back off for Taylor at the end. Gouffran and Cabella both deserved a hauling. Taylor has clearly inherited the Shola knack of managing to get back in the team despite his awful performances, come what may. Willo's red was the worst thing to happen, it means that dick gets in the team again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Only the three relegated sides conceded more goals last season than Villa did, and only the mackems, Cardiff and Fulham had worse home form. In fairness, our defending so far this season, whilst only on the basis of two matches, is infinitely better than it was last year. The absence of Baker and Clark has made a huge difference.

brummie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Fucking hell, Motson is all over the place, what's wrong with his intonation? All shouty when nothing is happening. Rambling on like he's having some sort of personal breakdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgs Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Bossed. Are you saying we didn't? Just look at the stats: 60% possession, 11 shots with 4 on target (versus 9 with 0 on target). I'd say that we comprehensively outplayed Villa and most of the write ups I have read concurr. Wum? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Totally uninspiring for much of the game - these 2 sides will be vying for the title of closest to watching paint drying this season. It is clear that the buying and organization of the side(not much of either down to Pardew)is designed to prevent many goals being conceded but its also clear that the formation will struggle to score themselves. Apart from the fact that none of the forwards looks to be a regular scorer in the way that Remy did last season, the build-up is so slow and cautious that even a defence as limited as Villas didn't have much difficulty in getting back to cover before attacks reached their penalty area...this has been a regular feature - and failing - of Pardew sides. Janmaat looks to be a very promising RB and will be a real asset if he continues to show this sort of form - as has been said, he has settled far quicker than Debuchy did and he is still young for a defender. de Jong obviously has talent and produced the only goal-worthy effort in the second half which could have snatched the 3 points but it would have been a bit of a travesty. Very little else to comment on other than to say that the game highlighted exactly what most fans with half a brain knew anyway ; Williamson is NOT a PL CB, and we lack a decent striker. That's it....long hard season lies ahead if we go past the deadline with this forward line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 "We want to be challenged. We want to be pushed to the maximum. We don't want people happy just to see the team drawing away from home. If you don't get positive results, you're going to get that sort of reaction, but we welcome that, we want to strive for the best, we know we're in the best league in world football, so we welcome that expectation." Roberto Martinez To be fair, after tonight's debacle he's not the best person to quote. can't agree - they've had 2 games and only one more point than us but if you were an everton fan which games would you rather have been watching?

DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Second half was better than first but not anything to write home with. Still so blunt I can't see us doing anything but struggle this season. Krul - 6 Wasn't really tested Janmaat - 8 Like him a lot Colo - 7 Had a good game I thought Willo - 6 Not sure can blame him to much for red tbh, should have scored really Dummet - 5 Really uninispiring player Sissoko - 6 Started brightly but faded Colback - 6 Decent job in midfield, no creativity though Anita - 6 Did ok but again helps us in possession, nothing going forward Gouffran - 4 Did some good tracking back, so Pardew will think he was motm Riviere - 1 Rubbish Cabella - 6 Showed good stuff at times, but sloppy first half and really should have scored De Jong - 7 Liked what we saw Perez - n/a didn't see enough then got hauled off for some reason Captain Fistpumps - 0 f*** off please Pardew - p*ss off.

Varadi Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I just think we've been so starved of goal threat that just getting anywhere near seems like a chance. In terms of clearcut chances Leicester had much better away at Chelsea ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
