Morning chaps and chapesses,

Just a quick post to get everyones thoughts on what's going with our team.

Game last night was a joke, plus Im only just reganing some warmth into my feet - (trust the box was ok john and lee!)

Villa looked absoloutely clueless going forward last night. Gabby up front on his own did not work at all. Simply no support.

Houlliers style of play is not working for villa becuase the players are not good enough. Clarke and hogg simply do not have enough experience to play a commanding role in the center of the park. If we want to play the style of football straight through the middle of the park then we need some decent center midfielders.

MON style of play was to utilise the wingers and bombard the box with crosses.. This worked because we have two of the best wingers in the league with Young and Downing..... I know everyone got frustrated with MON but he got us results and cup runs.

I realise its still very early days and Houllier has got a great track record but I can't see us getting anything against the baggies or wigan... Which could put us in the relegation zone.

Perhaps we can start looking better when players like Nigel and Petrov are back in the mix... But that brings me to another point... Has anybody seen this many injuries before!?? It's rare for a team to have 12 first team players out with injury.. WHat has caused this? New training regime that is causing all the injuries?!

Give me your thoughts guys.

What's everyone's thoughts on the game last night?

Suppose you cant complain taking 4 points off the champs. Was expecting us to dominate the midfield a little more but thought Delph did well coming in. Gabby looked frustrated and hard a real hard time up front on his own. Wes Brown literally battered him all game. Carew held the ball up well when he came on. Is heskey going to be fot for the final?
