Charlie Austin the scapegoat

[bakes8]

We all love Chas, but Bob and Vargas were on fire today. If they continue that it will be hard for Austin to keep them out the side.

Vargas wasn't good enough last week. Let the knee-jerks have their 5 minutes and it'll calm down in a day or two.

I agree, that's what this forum seems to be like.

If we lose to Villa 1-0, suddenly Harry will be rubbish again, Karl Henry a League One player, and Isla not good enough for the pace of English football.

Spot on!

Whata load of cobblers Chas got into positions to create them chances and was so unlucky that they never went in. Anotherday they could have and we would be singing a different tune.

Austin isn't a Prem quality striker as in he cant make something happen himself. His first touch and control are poor but as a finisher he's good. Need to whip some quality balls from out wide to him, he'll bury those.

Um i never heard Vargas wasn't good enough. Like it or not strikers especially should be selected on form. Seems to me we have 3 good strikers (nice headache).
Now BZ was very good today and Gary Neville said he bullied their defence. He has been good when he has come on after 45 mins too.
All that most have been saying is, should Vargas who scored 2 goals today btw, be given a start ahead of Charlie alongside BZ.
Haven't seen Charlie is a scapegoat or to blame.......stop being hysterical

But he created a chance for himself today, but then finished badly? Where does that leave us?

[yugohoop]

i thought he did well today.

[stanistheman]

Austin doesn't deserve to be dropped nor is he out of his depth in the Premiership. Also, Zamora isn't fit enough to start and play 70 mins each week, so why risk shattering Austin's confidence?

[Hubble]

Give him a chance for #### sake. First season in the prem, he scored a ####in worldie against Soton and now you're on his back? Nuts.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Worked his nuts off. Nobody who started played bad in any way whatsoever imho.

[jmelanie]

Think he should start with Vargas and with Zamora as sub.

[Rangers77]

No one could seriously suggest not starting Bob against Villa after his MOTM performance today. Nobody. Please.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Need to start that team every week from now on with one or two changes to include Barton when fit.
