i guess we'll see how rafa's "superior" tactical approach to games fairs (fares) now that he has lost his two saviours.

Stay back after class.

Please ban this cunt immediately

Good run from Lucas -cross held by keeper

[EST_1892]

Dossena needs to get up this left flank more often.

Good dig from N'Gog there after a lovely ball from Keane. Should have been a corner though

[Exiled_red]

N'gog played in by reverse pass by Keane, shot just over bar slight deflection from defender, not seen by ref who gives goal kick

[Attilladahun]

Good reverse ball by Keane excellent shot left footed by Ngog just over bar should have been a corner 43 mins

[Vermilion]

keane @ left back?

ngog instead of babel?

disturbing tactics from benitez.

Another WUM

Oh for ****s sake Rafa - Babel on at half time and put keane up with N'Gog. I don't care if you play him just behind in a 4-2-3-1 or with him in a 4-4-2, but this is awful. You'd think we were playing away to Real Madrid with this tactical approach, not Villa.

Everyone's working hard, but it is amounting to nothing, because they can easily cope with no wingers and a lone striker. Bollocks.

Is anyone else getting sick of Andy Gray's constant digs, he's getting one in every couple of minutes

[Attilladahun]

Good catch from Reina HT 0-0
SA 183-6 31 overs Rain

[Vermilion]

Well...positives, as bad as we're playing..and losing Torres, and being without Stevie, i don't think Villa are playing as well as they could, so that's good.

Yep - I can't stand him, but we're making it easy for him to lay into us this afternoon. I really don't understand why we are playing like this against Villa. We've got a great record at Villa park, and while they are a decent side, we are playing more defensively today than we do for the likes of Chelsea away.
