Tomaszk Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Will be the highlight of his Villa career and it was a pleasure to be there watching it. Great feet throughout again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Every dog has his day, he was poor at everything part from the penalty save but boy what an important save and he deserves all the credit in the world for it. However, he's beyond the pale on balance and is rightly being replaced come Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch him drop another clanger next week and cost us. That sums him up one exceptional well then a diabolical the next. Personally I don't think he has made a clanger under the Dean Smith era. 5 clean sheets in 12 games isnt bad. I don't class getting beat at your near post with a deflected shot or having the ball punched out of your hands a clanger. There's no other moments that come to mind in the last 12 games. He made a good few mistakes under Bruce though that people just won't forgive, he's not great but he certainly isnt as bad as people think and to have the transfer thread retitled was just childish.

Well you're the one claiming he has so it should be you doing the reminding not me. If you list them all I bet it ain't even a fraction of the figure you have imagined in your head 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Albion one was very much a clanger, a good keeper takes the ball before Rodriguez gets anywahere handling it. He has dropped crosses, fumbled shots, never left his line and not put the defence at ease. He is a terrible keeper. He may have done well today (I’ve not seen), but smith has acted quickly to rid us of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have forgotten Joe Lolley’s goal for a start. His mistakes have continued under Smith but feel free to kid yourself in order to try and score points against people, I don’t think anyone is going to agree with you. As for renaming the transfer thread, I did it. Childish? Perhaps but it was more a reflection of the fact almost every single post in it at that time was saying we needed a keeper. That the thread read that way also suggests your suggestion about the last 12 games isn’t shared by many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the keeper has both hands on the ball a player is not even allowed to kick it or head it out of his hands, let alone punch it out of his hands. Regardless of whether or not you think he should have taken the ball before Rodriguez gets anywhere near it - The referee should follow the laws of the game. That can't be classed as a clanger. Its like saying Lampard should have scored against Germany in the world cup when the ball clearly crossed the line but the officials didnt give it; and then giving Lampard abuse for not scoring. Its just silly. 6 minutes ago, mikeyp102 said: He has dropped crosses, fumbled shots, never left his line and not put the defence at ease.

He has made scores of errors this season and has let in more soft goals than any keeper I've ever seen play for us. If people can't see it's because they are utterly clueless about football, it's as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score points? if that means standing up for one of our players that are receiving personal abuse like the posts I quoted.. then I'd rather "score points" than join in with the abuse thanks. I won't bother debating about Nyland as it's obvious it wont get anywhere and just be a waste of everyones time.. besides my shift is almost over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Fair play to him today. I have a feeling that will be his best game in a Villa shirt. Edited December 26, 2018 by markavfc40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 maybe all along all he needed was competition for his shirt? He made a good diving save in the first half too. Next time we need a keeper we should sign 2 at the same time. don't tell either who's going to be number 1. Give them both 98 and 99 squad numbers and let them battle it out.

I won't bother debating about Nyland as it's obvious it wont get anywhere and just be a waste of everyones time.. besides my shift is almost over Yes point score, it is exactly what you’ve been doing in my view. I called him a coward, strong word and harsh perhaps but I think he lacks the mental toughness required to play on England because he isn’t brave enough to come and take the ball as has been shown game after game. That isn’t abuse, it is no different to Saying a player bottles tackles like Downing used to or saying a player lacks match intelligence like Hutton. If you don’t want to see players criticised then a football forum for a side in its third season outside the top flight it should be secure in is always going to be challenging for you. Based on you view that Nyland hasn’t made mistakes under Smith we can agree that there is no point in debating the player we worlds apart in our views. Besides he has already been replaced and will soon lose his place. My commiseration I’m working Boxing Day and congratulations on effectively being paid to post on here!
