GG 6 or 7 / 10. Absolute joke.
Totally useless waste of space more like.
Tbf I'd rate him about 6 or 7... out of 100.
Bent might hack it in the Championship, although past records indicate League One is more his standard to a shine
His only chance of making a fist out of his Villa career would have been to tear it up at Brighton and catch Lambert’s eye. Unfortunately he hasn’t done that,
Did I miss something? Particularly a controversial offside and Bent's efforts on target?
"In the 3-0 defeat to Derby he produced a really good finish with a classic header but it was controversially ruled out for offside. On that day he hit pretty much all of his efforts on target and most of them were well saved"
Looks like you might have missed his offside headed "goal", yes. Controversial? Dunno - I was with our lot down the other end of the pitch, so was pretty much perfectly positioned to have the worst view to verify offside or not. It happened at 2-0. Wouldn't have made any difference though; your lot would have just kept trying for a further 5 minutes, resulting in the restoration of your 3 goal lead.
No, I saw and like you, no idea if it was but there were no complaints at all so I'm not sure how it was controversial. I just don't recall him having any other shots on goal - I'm not having a pop, I just thought it was a bit of an odd couple of lines on Bent.
No, I don't recall too much player complaint either. Like you, I don't remember him having too many (any?) other shots on goal. I know you're not having a pop - no offence taken. Good luck this season (other than when we play you at the AMEX) - you looked quality.
