Norwich Vs. Aston Villa Official Match Thread

Recommended Posts

Zipper, I don''t think the Villa defenders will be saying that... Well, maybe the bit about needing Kei.

Holt''s battering them.

Freekick on the edge of the box - Villa''s Bennett gives it away, he won''t last the second half if he''s going to keep doing that like you said Ginge!

We have had a shot. And an on-target shot.

Poor freekick from Snoddy, and his shot from the rebound wasn''t too sharp either

Not sure what Snod was hoping to achieve with that FK. never easy when that close to the goal, need to be a couple yards back at least to get the ball over the wall. But that FK was useless, second attempt was decent enough though.

Oh dear, Holt loses the ball by not even paying attention to the fact Hoolahan had passed it to him!

So Bennett''s header at the goal doesn''t count?

I must say I''m very impressed with Howson, he''s really pressed on the last few games. Without doing any spectacular, he''s very solid in the middle and you can see why he''s been preferred to Tettey

This must be the first whole (ok, 3/4 mins left) half we''ve actually been decent the whole time. Not dangerous enough in the box, but we have threatened from time to time. And Villa don''t look all that comfortable.

Unlucky Holt header blazes over. Still no clear cut chances yet though

Villa so weak in the air but Holt not winning enoug, should he have got that on target? battering them maybe but we are not keeping the ball. Kei would have a field day in the air.

Lots of possession but hurting no one.

Howson best half so far - demanding the ball and doing ok - too many hopeful hopeless long balls though.

First few minutes were good, with Pilks and Snoddy swapping wings and getting involved with each other. After that it''s kinda descended into the normal hopeful balls forward and no real clear cut chances.

That said, we''re playing well, and if we could nick a goal we could easily grab three points today

Becchio isn''t in the squad - but who would you take off? If you take off Holt, you don''t have any battling striker to bring on as Jackson on the bench ahead of Becchio, for god knows what reason

How many time do we have to see Snodgrass put in poor crosses and free kicks.   I was willing Pilkington to take that free kick, but Snodgrass demands to take the free kicks and is always demanding the ball in outfield positions - but then his percentage of good deliveries is poor.   Ok he''s scored five, but many more have gone begging because he doesn''t deliver crosses early enough or well enough, often enough. 

If you''re going to keep demanding the ball and taking the responsibility, you have to do better than he does.  Garrido has a better free kick, Pilkington has a better free kick.

look out here comes the hooly fan club

over rated, luxury player, cant play anywhere but in the hole so it means hes the one that gets sacrificed, loses the ball too much in dangerous places usually leading to counter attacks. Villa have quite a bit of pace so its the last thing you needtheres no reason not to go 2 up top, they are struggling to deal with holt and kamaras not afraid to put it about either
