Tomaszk Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Fantastic today. If he says fit right to the end of the season, that'll be a huge part of us staying up for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Regardless of the contract situation he is our best defender and we don't have the luxury of bedding in players for the future. If he is fit he needs to start. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah Okore has lost his way recently, Vlaar was excellent today - including the subtle nudge in the back on Kramaric in the first half. Good nous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It's good nous. Just like Senderos kicking balotelli was good nous to keep him quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Robbie, enough is enough We need Vlaar fit for the remainder of the season - he could really contribute to how our season ends up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoryof82 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Can we get his contract sorted out now, that would great and an even further boost for the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted February 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2015 Fantastic today. If he says fit right to the end of the season, that'll be a huge part of us staying up for me. My feelings exactly, he will make the difference, hes that important I would rest him for cup games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good nous. lets not forget okore was out for 12 months and was probably been pushed into the team earlier than intended.i'm sure if we didn't have the injurys at cb he'd have been brought into the team gradually.great to see ron back though.anyone else think he'll stay fit cause he needs to impress possible suitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 it was never a penalty it was just good defending by not letting the player get a free jump and that pass for Bacuna, most centre halfs would just hoof that into the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It would have been one of the softest penalties I had ever seen, in the sense that I could understand why it was given but that it was as borderline as you'll ever see. The lad was on his way over, there was no real lean or push involved, if anything there was a little bit of (legal) obstruction involved from the forward too. Kramaric was weak and he paid the price for it. Good player clearly, but needs to bulk up. Ron dominated him most of the afternoon. Captains performance yesterday, lead by example. Superb. Glad to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good nous. Should've been a pen imo. Not sure that's "good nous"! Are you a great believer in strikers in the 6 yard box being allowed free headers without any challenges at all? Or are you just using it to have ANOTHER pop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Those type of challenges happen all over the pitch with hardly anything given, it was risky but savage clung on to it like shit to a blanket, the guys in the studio all said no, they didn't even discuss it on MOTD2 What's the difference between that and upson putting his hand in the small of bentekes back when he was clean through and shooting (and he blazed wide and high) Vlaars had a bit more contact and was a bit more blatant? It's still something that both teams do all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 16, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2015 When you have 2 paid up members of the strikers union saying it wasn't a penalty then it wasn't a penalty. Cabbage is a pr*ck with a Villa axe to grind and his opinion should always be dismissed out of hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 ... and that pass for Bacuna, most centre halfs would just hoof that into the box Lovely reverse pass that put Bacuna through one on one - You'd be giving Cole a pat on the back for that. Special stuff from a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Would be interesting to know what Lineker thought as you could really tell if he was just being a presenter. Going by he didn't make too much of an argument I guess he didn't think it was either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
