Quotedrops to the bench today, after starting the last eight games in a row. Villa's record in those games are two wins, four draws, two losses
Nice to see him get the goal yesterday. Hopefully he will stay in the team now and could push to play alongside O'Shea on a regular basis. Would love to see Delaney myself but this guy next for me for sure.
Lets talk about six baby
And he's back in! That pea-shooter he hid in his sock comes in handy as Vlaar is struck down with a mystery injury.
getting good reviews again today for his performance, has really turned his season around since he has been given a chance
O'Shea has been a rock at the back this season for Sunderland. Take away the 8-0 defeat to Southampton and they would have one of the best defensive records in the league. He has been far more consistent than any of their other CB's over the last several seasons.Originally Posted by liamoo11
It's young center backs who are the currency we need though. Derrick Williams of Bristol City scored his third of the season to send them 6 points clear of the playoff positions at the top of League One. They have the best defensive record in the league and he is a fundamental part of that. Couple his age (22 this month) and his versatility and he is one that should be very close to a call up. He had a Premier League education and he is more experienced than most Irish center backs of his age. People are talking about losing Shane O'Neill to the U.S.A. Williams is a better player anyways and (theoretically) we could lose him too.
I think we should be taking a proper look at Williams & Duffy now.
How can you compare the two? Have you seen a lot of Colorado Rapids games? O'Neill is on the fringes of a team who got to the second round of the World Cup, Williams hasn't been mentioned by anyone in the Irish management team, and the chances are he won't be until August at the earliest (historically we rarely call up players playing below the Championship)
When I heard on the radio Clark was sent off for a scuffle, just when he had a run in the team virtually assured, I thought he was an idiot. But I just saw the replay and Clark was entitled to react to a vicious tackle. He didn't do much wrong other than show a bit of justified anger towards a possible leg breaking lunge on a teammate.
Villa were comprehensively outplayed by Leicester. Utter garbage on their part.
Did you go to the game?
If not then you can't really comment on the game as a whole.
Clark did well, but there will always be a big mistake from him, that's just the way he is.
Credit to him for backing his team mate instead of injuring one of them.
Villa will be in the Championship next season which is about Clarks level.
did you?
Yes, got a compo off Clarky, I'm being serious too!
Your famous backrubs are starting to pay off, Doc.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
What's the point of this post?
I wasn't commenting on the game as a whole, which was pretty obvious. I was clearly commenting on the preceived stupidity of getting a suspension when he had a run in the team virtually guaranteed, but I said that having seen the incident I thought he was justified backing up his teammate, as you say yourself.
Except he didn't comment on the game as a whole, at all, now did he ?
Nice, lets hope this is as accurate as your saying SSL was a big part of O'Neils plans and had a big move sorted and sealed, some time back,
He was possibly referring to your comment about Villa being comprehensively outplayed, still daft though.
Not half as daft as someone making assumptions about a game they never went to.
Are people so stupid that they feel they can comment on a game on the basis of heavily edited highlights.
That's the trouble with forums and message boards people making claims and comments on games they haven't seen.
They show the main chances... if one team had loads and the other team had none, then I think it's reasonable to assume that the latter were outplayed. It's not bullet proof but I'd imagine it's accurate more often than not. Why don't you tell us what really happened then?

Every match report and radio summary I heard said the same thing. These were all reports from people who were there.
I haven't been to Syria myself. Does that mean I'm stupid to think it's not all peace and love there?
You shouldn't believe all that's said and written in the media.
How many times have you been to a game, then watch highlights or listen to a radio report which is way off what you've just seen live?
Unless your at the game, then in my opinion you can't comment on it.
