abdulaziz1 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Couldnt ask for more. Might be little fear from what we saw in the first half. But we played some good balls during the 2nd half. Maybe no much creativity but considering that its many players first game and without our main creative players in Gil and Grealish. what encouraged me a lot and made my expectations was Gestede beast mode. Could give the same effect of air balls as Benteke. Might not be as good on feet yet hes a really bright signing for the club hopefully. Amavi and Gueye had good games. Still would like to see more from them and from Veretout. Good approach fromTim .. good performance from Micah. UTV ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Second half much better. Still alot of players that need to settle in. Also, i love a good **** header too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 8, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2015 What a player we have in Amavi. Hugely impressed with his contributions today. Defence was brilliant except for the occasional disappearing act from Bacuna. Veretout is physically bigger than I thought. He did some encouraging stuff in the middle. Gueye was exactly what we hoped. And Rudy coming on to put the whole thing to bed. Fantastic result. Very interesting game on so many levels. Can't wait for this lot to really click. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 finally a great left back!!! Amavi was absolutely outstanding he looks the real deal, and at such a young age will get better and better. Great win for us not easy having so many new players. bring on the champions league haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 worst possible time to play Bournemouth, our new team versus their newly promoted lot, them at home in the sunshine and the media with all that happy copy already written with their witty headlines ready to roll sweet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Clark, Richards, Amavi and Gueye were excellent. Gestede may turn out to be our best buy this window. We struggled first half, looked disjointed, which I was expecting. We were much better second half and passing and movement much better. Can only get better, we have some good ball players in there now, they only need to gel and we could have a good season. Guzan's distribution was terrible, and he should have realised that there was no one to hold up the ball before Gestede came on. It is frustrating, as he also made important saves. A very good 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2015 Just echoing a few points already made. Very happy with the win, today was always going to a tricky game. Second half was a massive improvement. Clark & Richards, occasional errors aside, were good. Veretout look decent and will only get better. Gana (Gueye) very good, gabby was better as the game went on, Sinclair was our biggest threat in the first half. Ayew initially looked bright but seemed to disappear. Amavi was out best player. Gestede is going to be a problem for the opposition defences. Great support from us today (could be easily heard via the dodgy feed which I was watching). Nice one Tim, another win on Friday please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 His heading technique and posture during the connection is something else. Have we discovered another Tony Hateley? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Much happier about second half. Felt Gana and Amavi was the standout players today. Gestede looks immense in the air, great goal as well. Some good signs here for sure. I'm slow on the uptake - who's Gana? Gueye. Seems he prefers to have Gana on his shirt. Thanks for that Gana is his middle name.

flashingqwerty Posted August 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2015 Didn't play great but won at least we don't have to put up with the "Cherry" Buckake. The ref was incredibly lenient in their favour and should really explain that mystery 5 minutes when nobody received injury treatment at all! there was a 2 minute stoppage for injury around the 56th minute - forget who was injured - was one of theirs. Also, ref must add 30 seconds per sub: 6 x 30 seconds is 3 minutes. There is your 5 added minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted August 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) YIPPEEE awesomeness!!!! Couldn't watch the match due to travelling. Was shitting myself watching the highlights (thanks Chewie!). Wow, Rudy is great, he'll be our number one scorer for sure! Such a relief. Thank you team, thank you Tim.

bannedfromHandV Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Captain Clark, MOTM .... And a big **** *** to all the clever media pundits. In particular, Paul Merson who seems eager to go the way of many ex villans in finding it really hard to find a good word to say about us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) can people please stop saying "glad we showed pundits/bookies wrong". Results orientated thinking in this thread at its worst! Really guys. we got outplayed most of the game. Dam we was pretty poor! glad we got the 3 points. But please stop with media bashing lol Edited August 8, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Pretty much every "expert" said we would lose. I didn't see a single one say we would win. That is a pretty good reason to media bash. I haven't seen any of the game yet so I can't say if we were pretty poor or not. But I would take playing pretty poor and winning 1-0 every week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
