smetrov Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Forget today then - given how long was out for last time and his reputation as a slow healer & our results without him - miracles required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 we can only hope in the weeks off, Bennett has been majorly focusing on his defensive work. Fingers crossed though, this could be unhappy viewing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hmmm I reckon that defence gets destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 But Lambert bought Bennett not Lichaj therefore form and talent goes out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Let's hope injury is not serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bennett shouldn't even be on the bench. The decision to buy Vlaar, and then not using the pennies available to spend on bringing in a defender is one of Lambert's biggest mistakes. 5-0 Arsenal today. Well Lambert put a lot faith in Clark - I said at the time it was a massive gamble - and it looks to be the decision that will send us down. Clark ain't great along side Vlaar - but without any experience he's practically a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed though, this could be unhappy viewing, We can only hope that in the weeks off he has transformed into a prime Maldini. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoD Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 sigh Bennett has been disaster for us, Walcott is going to have the easiest game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 But Lambert bought Bennett not Lichaj therefore form and talent goes out the window. To be honest Lichaj\Bennett isn't a game changer for me. It must be. We've never won a league game with Bennett playing a full game. He's dreadful. Lichaj isn't really that good but he's not as shit as Bennett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bennett tackles himself. Ridiculous that he ever made it pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2013 IIRC Vlaar had a reputation for picking up injuries before we bought him, it's not a surprise we're reaping what we've sown. Damage limitation, this one. I expect an early goal and a whimpering 90 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The biggest problem this season is not so much Vlaar being injured a lot (although that is a problem) but Dunne being injured all season. I don't really rate him but we would be much much better off if he'd been fit for at least some of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AValon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Just got in to hear about Vlaar/Bennett. And to think I was moaning going round Asda earlier on? Does'nt fill me with much in the way of hope, but we are Villa, so.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really rate him but we would be much much better off if he'd been fit for at least some of this season. Agree - but there is no contingency cover @ CB - The first choice pairing of Vlaar\Clark isn't good enough IMO - Let alone the fringe players @ CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarrieBlue Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I reckon Bennett was always going to play and Baker has kept his place due to Vlaar's injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
