lancs blue said:I cannot understand why Jovetic didn't start tonight, he's such a lively player who drags defenders out of position, exactly what we lacked in the first half when faced with a blanket defence. It was no coincidence that we found a few holes in the Villa back line after he came on.
When you have the wagons circled and the entire fleet of Stagecoach buses and coaches parked in one half, a player who RUNS forward and into a defensive line can often be the answer. Beat the man and the whole of the first line is redundant. Panic sets in, and when Jovetic has come on this season that has been his game. Go straight where it hurts.
