Gawalls Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 14 minutes ago, Mattoon said: First 3 in a row in 4 years and 4 points clear of the drop, finally some breathing space and some confidence going into the most important part of the season. Bearing in mind when howe started we were 5 or 6 points cut adrift from safety (Watford I think it was), being on only 5 points after 10 games. Now unbeaten in 6 and a 3 game winning streak - what a turnaround. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Just now, Ben said: Brilliant result and hopefully the fact we have 1 game a week till the end of the season should mean we can have more control over injuries Injuries were always going to come. Remember reading/hearing the same thing happened at Man United after they peddled Mourinho as they went from no conditioning and poor fitness to playing catch up and overdoing it so soft muscle niggles started to occur after 10-15 games. As you say so long as they’re minor and can be managed it’ll hopefully be alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) A win on the back of Everton was more than I was expecting or even had the gall to ask for really. Efforts were fantastic, would have crushed more for the players than myself if they hadnt held out. Injuries are our biggest hurdle now. Like Gerrard (and Lampard) but like that these results will get right up the taint of many in the media.

christ Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Absolutely buzzing. I fucking love this club. Fair play to them all but I reckon it’s a different second half if the fullbacks stay on. I reckon we win that by two or three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, if we had national health like England I'd retire in two years. Most US insurance has some kind of excess, normally several thousand dollars, think you call it a deductible? Even if you don't have that, most do. I've had numerous conversations with Americans where they've attempted to defend their (ridiculously overpriced) insurance with "well I only had to pay $5k!"

Palestoon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Credit to the 3 in the middle today, i questioned if the result on tuesday was down to facing a weak Everton midfield, but they dominated villa especially in the first half. If you needed any confirmation, that our full backs were a major part of how terrible we looked earlier in the year, just watch the difference in the 1st and 2nd half after trips and manky went off. night and day. lets hope they're both not out long, and we get Targett back as well. Today also outlined our weakness in creativity up front. When Maxi is not on his game, its hard to see where the goals and chances are going to come from. Only worry for the rest of the year. Otherwise great result to win that in an ugly manner. Credit to Howe again for his preparation, you can tell he actually plans for the opposition, and tries to nullify their strengths and pick at their weaknesses. What a fucking breath of fresh air after Bruce ball. Dubravka-7- not much to do, but handled everything that came into the box comfortably today. Schar-8- really good today again. looked like he'd been in a warzone at the full time whistle. Burn-9- MOTM. so calm and composed in all aspects. moves so elegantly for a man his size. Trippier-8- another day at the office for trips. best player in our squad. shame he got injured, hope hes back in the side soon. Manquillo-7- great squad player, shame he had to go off. did well going both directions Dummett-6- still looks off the pace. did his job, but should be targett straight back in next week. Krafth-6- worked hard, but seems so panicky when he places, charging all over the place. seems to unsettle our backline. Shelvey- 8- was excellent especially in the first hour of the game. tracked runners well, and played the ball simply and quickly. Joelinton- 8- absolute monster, getting better and better every week. cant believe this guy was a 40 million pound waste of a forward. Willock- 7- never stopped running, finally seems to be picking up some consistent form. ASM-6- Not at it today. really need another creative threat to give him some breathing space Fraser-7- works tirelessly and put a few good crosses into the box Wood- 6- effort is there but thats about it... won some headers today that found our players which was an improvement on Tuesday. But he is terrible technically, and the sooner Wilson is back the better. Edited February 13, 2022 by Palestoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackandWhite Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Does anybody else think that little break where the fan was being treated actually did us a world of good? Before then, Villa were way on top and had a goal disallowed by the slightest of margins. It seemed that it let us regroup again and get reorganised, Howe got a few words in on the touchline. Villa never really threatened again for the rest of the game. I am glad it was nothing bad that happened with the fan, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
