Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If they don't sign a striker in the next 9 days, this lot have got relegation battle written all over them. Don't look like they've got goals in them at all. We've played some good stuff in the two games but lack any cutting edge up top. De Jong should have buried that chance.

The Fish 10674 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well, that was fucking shit. Villa are always involved in the most boring games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13762 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well, that was fucking shit. Villa are always involved in the most boring games. I think it's us that's the problem tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 866 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 No, bringing up our pervasive negativity under Pardew is "panicking" apparently. Villa's fault the game was so boring. Come off it man, Villa were barely even on the pitch. Any decent team would've swept them away. We couldn't sweep a chimney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToony 41 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I believe Pardew has the tactics right. In fact, I think they should play MORE balls into Williamson in the box and pass it back to him so he can create even MORE. You can't argue with our goal scoring and goal creating statistics over the past few years, so the gaffer has it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6966 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Cabella is going to get kicked to fuck every game. It also looks like we've paid £12mil for someone who plays pretty much exactly the same as Ben Arfa. Rivière looks canny but it helps if someone passes the ball to him. Sissoko and Anita both pretty shit again too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissoko and Anita both pretty shit again too Ben Arfa explodes/penetrates where Cabella slows play down (too often for me) and tries to be more delicate/cute. He's done nothing other than show he's an alright dribbler to suggest they're similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Mr. Pardoo.......... Riviere as a lone striker is like promoting a used box of spent matches. Not sure he can light a fire anyway. Mr. Pardoo..........Saylor or Mbiwa next week. Willo settled that for you thank heavens. Mr. Pardoo...........When will you see that Haidara is better than Dumbitt. Mr. Pardoo...........Thank you for not playing your boyfriend Obertan. I'll take the point, it's better than getting nowt which we could have well done. We had nothing in the way of attacking fullbacks although Janmaat came closest to scoring. Cabella was extremely disappointing after last weeks display. Wasn't sparking anything. Anita is too lightweight. Had enough possession to win but were toothless going forward. Take Colo and Krul off the pitch and Willo will be at a loss for someone to pass to. Good to see DeJong on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4669 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Bit ott reaction on here. Played some good stuff at times and had several chances to take all 3 points. Substitutes De Jong and ayoyez both could have won it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 32606 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Never mind CT, we were shit and played for a bonus 3 points. Clueless manager, Riveire might be canny in support of a proper striker. Cabella no better than Ben Arfa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Lot of my hope is resting on Ferreyra Perez aside, I think the player's we've signed either improve the first team or (in Janmaat's case) are like for like replacements. I see the signing of Cabella and De Jong as a dilution of the influence Cabaye had. When he left we were screwed but if one of those players is out for a while we're not suddenly looking to Anita for our creative spark.

Park Life 71 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Ben Arfa explodes/penetrates where Cabella slows play down (too often for me) and tries to be more delicate/cute. He's done nothing other than show he's an alright dribbler to suggest they're similar. Hatem starting on the other side and not the Gouff would make a huge difference. Cabella seems to take an age on the ball and then does nowt dangerous. He played one good through ball first half. Riviere need to score against Palace or he's going to start losing confidence.
