Nate Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Goal wasn't that good in my opinion, he was on his own, yes it was a nice backheel (if that is what it's called) but he had time to flick it in with his wang. By all means was a decent goal, but reel in the wank fest guys. I know I saw Williams, Mate, Kewell do the exact same thing a few times last season... Thanks for reminding us. I too had forgotten our potent forward line of last season. We did win goal of the year..... To be fair, we scored some absolute belters last season. - Engelaar vs Central Coast - Engelaar vs Wellington - Williams vs Wellington - Williams vs Sydney FC - Migliorini x2 vs Adelaide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means was a decent goal, but reel in the wank fest guys. I think his whole performance was great, not just the goal, certainly something to look forward to. Also agree with this. David Villa was probably best on ground, at least in the first half anyway. So many clever flicks and backheels and dribbles, it was nice to see.

In terms of performance I couldn't agree more and it was pretty common knowledge that he'll tear it apart for us. Just thought the goal was a good solid goal, looking back through the thread I might have jumped the gun, only 1 or 2 blokes were getting off over the goal. Can't wait to get him to sign a red and white striped top when he is here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not have been the best goal but in the end, you can't help but ask yourself, would Williams or Mate have scored that'? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Williams was to miss an opportunity like that by blasting it straight at the keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF33 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 As others have mentioned, he put on a clinic from the start of the game until he was subbed out. The goal was just icing. Thing is, like with Torres' goal in the second, you knew it was going in the back of the net the moment it went to them. That will be a novel feeling next season.

The goals don't have to be spectacular, but in the end the fact that we'll have confidence that we'll score when Villa (and marquees etc) get the ball will be great. It's better than the current situation, where we could have a two on one situation with the goalie and the fans would still be holding their breath thinking there's a chance we could miss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTinator Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Fox article said: "He’s also a good team man. It’s not a problem for the coach if he doesn’t play him, so you can bring him without having headaches.” Bloody well hope he is coz he'll have to get used to playing second fiddle to Captain Hoffman and Davide "boom boom" Villiams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTinator Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Got out on the paddock today playing lunchtime football after a few weeks lay off. I can tell you honestly from some comments made by fellow combatants, Villa is going to draw crowds to our games. This is from guys who are casual observers of the HAL without being past attendees. They wanna come see him play. Expect 10k+ crowds comfortably. Expect near sellout of Etihad for our first derby. Good times are a coming folks.

Villa alone is not the answer but Villa with ongoing good team performances and finals football and a shot at silverware is what is required. I'm sure the players and JVS and coaching staff are on notice. Poor performance is not going to be glossed over like under Sidwell et al. We need to start with good attendances and give people a reason to join. Edited July 15, 2014 by HEARTinator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Reporting confirming Villa could play up to 10 games, and him almost talking about playing for our club: Before the next MLS season begins, Villa will leave New York in October for a few months to join Australian A-League team Melbourne City, another club associated with Manchester City. He said Thursday he’s not sure whether Lampard or any other NYCFC players will join him, but he said he could make up to 10 appearances for Melbourne during the 2014-15 season so he can “keep the rust off.” http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/soccer/nycfc-david-villa-bronx-debut-article-1.1888037 Villa's full sentence BTW was "No better way to keep the rust off than actually stay active.” Edited August 1, 2014 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he's a bonus player more than anything so I don't overly care about his attitude too much, I just can't wait to see him carve it up for us!

The Aardvark Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Why can't they just put the real kit on him? How hard can it be to mail one out to NYC and take one photo? Has Villa even mentioned our club by name yet, or even actually acknowledged that he is coming to our country other than statements like "I will get the rust out". It's starting to feel like nobodies told him that he is coming yet. *I realise he did appear in that video and in a Melbourne City shirt but apart from that nothing.
