He cartainly has an eye for goal.
Nice finish, that lad Albrighton is a serious talent as well, pity he aint one of us.
Clark played left back today and did reasonably well.........our problem position. With Cunningham injured and KK dropping down another division, surely he is worth a look there.
I read somewhere he does qualify for us, (probably on here), most likely nothing in it though.Quote:

Someone on Villa Talk said (a while back) that he had a granny from Westmeath. Either way he will get an English cap eventually.Quote:

Anyway nice goal against an impenetrable Chelsea defence.
Only two other teams have scored against them at home, Everton got one for a draw and Sunderland beat them 0-3.
Goals against Arsenal and Chelsea so far this season. Not afraid to upset the big boys is he? :)
Great goal by the lad - I think that's his third this season. But if we're honest with ourselves he was taken to the cleaners by Kalou. Ciaran did reasonably well to begin with at left back, and I was even thinking of him slotting in at left back ahead of Cunningham - Kilbane must be gone now that he's at Huddersfield - but it's hard to forget the torturing he got in the second half at Stamford Bridge.
Still good luck to the lad he is headed in the right direction and I would say he has a bright future for Villa and us.
He had a very good first half - so much so that Anelka decided to switch flanks with Malouda - but he was turned over a few times in the second half. He did himself a mischief with that needless yellow card, and Agbonlahor wasn't able to help him out as much in the second half as he seemed to be playing with an injury for a long time. I think he'd fare better with Duffer on his side but I do worry about his disciplinary record - 6 booking this season, each of them in his last 6 games.
Its funny because its true. Ugh.Quote:

I think youngsters think they are immune to injury, I know I did when I was young (about 2 weeks ago ;)).
So they go charging in, then once they pick up a major injury, they think twice about it, realising they are not indestructible after all.
Playing left back today and has been very good. Has stopped Bentley everytime. This could be our left back position sorted out at last.
Hopefully, but we will probably be told by Trap that he is too ''inexperienced'' and doesn't have the right ''mentality'' and therefore he will continue to pick Kilbane until he has almost 400 caps.Quote:

Was just thinking that myself. CB to CM to LB already for Ciaran. Potential solutions to our LB problem are instantly tempting though. I didn't see today's game but he (understandably) looked a bit shaky there a week or so ago.Quote:

Apart from two rash challenges has been excellent first half against a couple of world class players. Has to start for us at Left back.
he is nailed on for a couple of red cards throughout his Irish career. His tackling is the only really occasionally suspect part of his game and if it hasnt been trained out of him yet then it is unlikely to be anytime soon.
