    It's his right shoulder - now has a support on it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    thats the one he kept dislocating last year

    very worrying

    He's off now for Clark.

    Precaution hopefully.
    When you dislocate it once you'll always have trouble with it AFAIK.

    Cuellar been very good too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,518 ✭✭✭matrim


    Heskey deserved the red but at I thought at least one of the porto players would have got a yellow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,792 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    BS booking for Herd.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    heres wee barry


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭Time Magazine


    We're through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,518 ✭✭✭matrim


    Good win for us. We did well to hold out at the end

    Albrighton had another good game and clarke looked good when he came on too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,792 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    That was a hard fought match, not like a friendly at all.

    Guzan, Cuellar, Sidwell and Albrighton the stand outs I would think.

    I think maybe we do, looks like a massive improvement from last year.

    man of the match for me and he deserves to play in the final as he was the most intrumental player in getting us there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,219 ✭✭✭invincibleirish


    I laugh in the general direction of Real Madrid and their nonsense, the Villa kids will sort them out.

    I also salute Guzan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,792 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    Anyone else think those commentators were amazing?
    Hadn't a clue half the time but very entertaining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 845 ✭✭✭V1llianous


    :D

    I think one of the Porto players used the N word towards him.


















    No-Good

    Tick tock tick tock

    Even the Yankee commentators saidd after Heskey going off that they couldnt tell Villa were down to 10.

    American Commentator classics:
    Lazer shot

    Stevie Sidwell there again

    The Hulk crosses it out to the side - wtf :D

    Love their attempts to call every player by their first name.

    Only downside was they read out an email from that numpty Jack Woodward.

    lol, like it was really him! Someone from VT I think.

    GK: Brad Snr, Brad Jnr.

    I'd be in favour of keeping Friedel as #1 for start of the season. That will keep Guzan working hard. Play Guzan in the cup matches and reserves to help him get experience though. Have one of the kids (Parish is the most promising isn't he?) as third choice if needed.

    RB: Luke Young, Eric Lichaj. Definitely need a reinforcement here. Pity the Litex guy didn't work out.

    CB: Davies, Cuellar. Clark did well tonight but with Davies so injury-prone I think we need two more CBs. Distin + someone else would be great. We'll probably just get Distin though.

    LB: Bouma, Shorey. Could do with an Eric Lichaj here tbh.

    RM: Milner, Albrighton. Expect Albrighton to push Jimmy on this year. I'm very excited by Albrighton's performances.

    LM: Young, Downing. As good as anyone's left wingers tbh. Bannan as backup.

    CM: Petrov, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Gardner. Our weakest position outside CB. Could really do with a Paul Merson. Tuncay FTW.

    ST: Carew, Heskey, Gabby, Fonz. (Assuming that Homer has moved on.) As good as that is, I think we could really do with more competition for Gabby. The Fonz can bang them in for England U-19s but will struggle against Prem opposition. Gabby's lazy. Carew + Bent with Gabby coming on with 20 minutes to go could be phenomenal.

    So I count 21 players who could reasonably play a role. We definitely need a RB and a CB, bringing it to 23. MON has said he wants five players, that would mean maybe a RB, CB, CB, MC, ST, making a squad of 26, or 24 if you exclude Lichaj and Bannan.

    Not so bad.

    Hilights from tonight:



    I tell you if this tourney is anything to go by I wouldn't half mind a bit of this next year:



    NRC

    Milner--Sidwell
    Albrighton
    Young
    Carew


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,792 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    Real - Juve 1-1 at half time.
