pete0 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 In the prem over 88 games for a side averaging 14th in the league over that time? I'd say 1 in 2 is a very good stat. Moreso he's a bloody good lone striker. Lazy bastard at times but bullies defenders big time. Team built to his strengths. He'll be useless at Liverpool if they don't use wingers and stevie long ball has gone. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice their style of play under Lambert and complete lack of goals?! They broke records! Villa and benteke aren't great at scoring goals is what you mean then? If so I agree. Their team was built round benteke, don't see how this is even up for discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their team was built round benteke, don't see how this is even up for discussion. Villa last season averaged 0.5 goals a game as a team. Benteke has averaged 0.5 goals a game playing for villa. Simply put - they do not generate chances or score many goals as a team. However he has a 1 in 2 record.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Darren bent used to have a similar record. If you play for just one player to score it tends to work out that way. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenosetoffee Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I just seen that Patrick Roberts has gone to City. This home grown rule means nothing and actions needs to be enforced it actually does. City have got Sterling (who will play), Delph (who might get the odd game) and Roberts (who won't play). Rules need to be put in place to say that an X number of home grown players in the squad (5-6 players) have to play a number of games and also a number of minutes a season. That way it would give players like Roberts and Delph a chance to prove themselves. It would also stop squads putting players on in the 92nd minute and it counting as an appearance. At the moment the rule is a club must have a certain number of home-grown players in their squad. Doesn't mean they have to play them as long as they are in the 23 man squad list. Rodwell and Sinclair went to City and got no game time and now moved on to different clubs. It is absolutely b011ock3 the rule!

It would help for more parity too within the league if the big boys actually had to play Englishman. The good ones are few and far between.

pete0 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Glad they spunked some of the sterling money, was fearful of them building a decent team with Clyne, milner, and firmino. They still need a striker and centre half to go top 4. Shame we need a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Free Transfer Team (My Opinion) so far. Casillas Pereira - Richards - Mbia - Insua Khedira - Xavi Gerrard - Milner - Konoplyanka Gignac Subs - Neto, Johnson, Mauri, Reinartz, Gonzalez, Cleverley, Ayew, Ings That's a pretty impressive team. Imagine building a team like that on 'frees' (yes agent fees and pay outs are much higher) but in principle, that's quite impressive.
