ricardo 7,385 Posted September 28, 2013 Just watching Villa v Man City second half. The commentator said "will we see a change in Villa''s approach, in the first half they set up not to lose."Yet everyone wants Lambert back here apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,385 Posted September 28, 2013 Now they score from their only shot on target so I don''t suppose the fans will care about dropping deep will they?Whoops, clearly offside but goal given. Great when the luck is with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted September 28, 2013 It''s a bit different setting up not to lose to Man City at home to Hull away etc. We are now bottom 3 by the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggy 0 Posted September 28, 2013 Oh come on Ricardo, they are playing Man City. Nobody would moan if we parked the bus against Man City, we moan when we do it against Fulham or Newcastle, or Reading away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,385 Posted September 28, 2013 WBA everyone behind the ball. Go in front with only shot on target in an hour.Level now though, also Villa''s parity didn''t last long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 173 Posted September 28, 2013 I would say we had about 70% possession and try as we might couldn''t break down the bus parked in front of the Hull goal. We also had the better chances before they were given a dodgy penalty. Anyone who viewed that as setting up defensively needs to take off the anti Hughton glasses.

Houston Canary 0 Posted September 28, 2013 Did you see the 6 min added at Hull? If ever a time to push, but our 11 got dominated by their 10. Ya, we set up to not lose but failed at not losing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody cares how defensively you approach a game as long as you take you chance when it comes along. Villa have done that this afternoon despite being totally outplayed. I woder if their forum will be full of people claiming they dropped too deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
