    Liability? His position wide on the left is almost solely dependent on service from the left back

    I said defensive liability, when Victory had the ball it was 11 men against 10, and I don't think anyone can deny that? Didn't pressure the ball carrier when in his vacinity, didn't track back to give any assistance to Ramsey (not making excuses for Ramseys terrible performance either, hes a shit left back and thats a fact), didn't put in a second effort when losing the ball. He was a passenger last night, especially when the going got tough in the 2nd half.

    And if his performance was affected by his lack of motivation as a guest player which i'm sure it was, then thats not really good enough either to be fair.

    Thanks for that Captain Obvious (couldn't resist).

    Anyway disagree. Defensive cover needs to be provided firstly by Paartalu then either Mooy or Murdocca. Without watching the replay from what i recall i don't think Galloway left his half, nor did Georgievski on Duffs side, both played super defensive roles, which tbh they should have having to mark Villa and Duff respectively. Therefore I don't agree with notion of playing 11 behind the ball ever, to me its pointless. It gives the team with ball nothing to worry about. At the very least you need 2 defenders marking Villa at all times. On several occasions Villa took up extreme good positions but we couldn't hit him and to me that what's the frustrating thing for him, it looks like he's cheating and not working back, but IMO he shouldn't. Spot on, in no way should Villa be criticised. When in the second half did we actually get him the ball in a half decent position? Also as already said before what is jvs obsession playing him on a wing!

    I know this has been mentioned a few times, but sitting behind the goal on Saturday night being able to witness Villa perform his magic was well worth the trip up. As soon as Villa got the ball he was always gunna turn his opponent. His exquisite first touch and tidy finish is something I will always treasure depsite being quite drunk.

    This, exactly!

    anyone have inside info on when the hell he'll be arriving at Melbourne Airport Im thinking us Melburnians should just rock up and start chanting for him or something like giving the guy a good welcome to the city and our club??

    What do you all think?

    100%, feel it would be a massive let down if we didn't.
