RUMBELOWS91 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I went with a neutral last night who thought Bannan was our most impressive player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday were dominating possession and that's when BB is at his best seeing plenty of the ball with plenty of options esp with Macmanaman on the pitch. How fans can write him off after last season is beyond me. I agree totally. When we play at tempo and dominate, Bannan controls the game superbly, mixing short and long passes, feeding the two wide men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a point of singling out players/managers time and time again. Since last night's defeat you've basically called for CC's head (if we don't get promoted) and declared that Loovens isn't good enough. Previously you've slated Hooper and started or contributed to 900 plus threads about Nuhiu. Don't try and compare me criticising Bannan to your sustained, endless campaign of negativity.

All of a sudden every f.ooker has a Villa mate who told them EXACTLY what was going to happen?...absolute sheeite Don't usually do this, but I have to reply to this sort of response. is it beyond the realms of possibility that me and one other have a Villa supporting mate, who has an opinion on a player other than your own? that's 2 of us. Not 'every f.ooker' why would either of us have brought this up when we were all up BB's arse last year and responding to mate's jealousy about a player they let go. The point is that they were bloody well right. like the word fookwhittery, though but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan has been excellent for us and a big part of heat we are trying to do. He doesn't always play well when shoved out wide. I dont disagree he needs a rest but Im surprised I got about 1000 negs for stating I was concerned about Sasso yet you get positives for slating one of our best players. It's a funny forum this. Seem to recall Bannan being absolutely immense away at Brighton and getting MOM away at Wigan. Maybe if if some of you looked more closely at our tactics you would see most of the time poor Bannan is left all alone in midfield because of how Sammy H is told to play - that is more likely the reason for his dip in form as well as when played out wide at home. Some of you have short memories he's done nothing but play to his best for us. Like Wallace, even when they are off form you have to respect them as they still do their best and try to make things happen. They always look for the ball and the two guys you have slated will probably start any playoff semi as when on form they are still two of our better players. Don't usually do this, but I have to reply to this sort of response 2 things, you and I might not like them as a club or fanbase, but to blanket most villa fans as knowing jack about football is degrading at the best. European cup winners and many years in the top division is not to be sniffed at. secondly, I agree that Carlos will pick them both in the play offs, I hope we bloody well win them.

He's given the odd ball away like all of the team...and one thing you should know now is that tackling and shooting is not his game. Don't usually do this, but I have to reply to this sort of response reminds me of what George Best said about Beckham. Pray tell me what attributes a decent footballer needs apart from tackling and shooting? Teamship maybe, heading, maybe pace, strength, leadership. yep he's got the lot.

Inspector Lestrade Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 4 hours ago, peacock1961 said: Last year when I was lauding him about how good Bannan was and how they must have been mad to get rid of him, he said wait til next year when he starts believing his own publicity and thinking he's a cross between scholes and gerrard and not accepting responsibility for mistakes. Hate to say it but he was right, I've noticed him blaming anyone but himself and Reach appears to be his main target he was up to it again last night. I'm afraid he needs to have a rest with Wallace and get the new blood in. Otherwise what was the point of buying Abdi and loaning MacManaman? So no evidence whatsoever that Bannan actually thinks this. But because some Brummie mate make's a ridiculous claim it must be right??? How does your Brummie mate read minds?

vulture_squadron Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Christ some of the stuff on here - more of us should be writing for soaps. Bannan is a quality player, an important member of our squad. He provides assists. Yes he needs competition for his place, as does everyone. If he loses out to Abdi or Lee now and then and we get a result - great. But come on - don't hang him out to dry - the lad wants the ball ALL THE TIME! His attitude shouldn't be questioned. Yes, he may go deep for the ball too much sometimes but the centre halves don't HAVE to pass to him. I feel the lad is getting scapegoated by some. Ridiculous.

He he can and does take on defenders, but it's crystal clear he has been told to play narrow. If he had been instructed to hug the line and take men on, he would have been dropped. As I said, diametrically opposite views! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacock1961 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 some of you need to re-read my post. I am not castigating Bannan as a footballer, or saying he is crap, or saying he is to blame for our dire first half performances. What i'm trying to hint at is that I've noticed traits in him that a mate of mine alluded too. if any of you have played any team sport you know that there is always a bertie big rounduns that does no wrong and who slags off his junior or new team mates, rather than encouraging them. That's fine and dandy when they're on top of their game and starman week in week out, but at the moment he's not. A bit of humility in the lad's game and he might have been a top class player. But he's not and my fear is that he is affecting the progress of Reach and others and is adversely affecting team spirit. FF on the other hand is a greedy fekker, who must pee off his team mates in better positions, but he gets away with it because he delivers time after time, just like the one last night.
