He was trying too many tricks when simple passes would've been more sensible, but he worked hard, put his body in the right places and had a positive affect. If you didn't know who he was you'd probably have given him a rating of 7 last night. As he is Joe Cole former Chelsea and England man you're probably looking more around 5/6 given a player of that pedigree.

If a couple of the balls put through to him were to Armstrong he would have scored.
I think a few of his touches didn't come off but you could see him talking to the younger players and encouraging them which was quite good!
I don't think he has ever been a pacey player like a Murphy or Armstrong has he?

How much is it and is it analogue or digital?

I thought he did okay, he's still fairly new to the squad so is still adjusting to the way we play. I think we could see that in some of the runs he was making and the passes he was looking to make weren't quite on the same wavelength as him. I think he will be a huge asset for us over the rest of the season though.
He attracts a lot of attention from defensive midfielders/centrebacks when playing in behind Armstrong as you would probably expect.
Whilst this reflects badly on him as he gets crowded out quite a lot by 2 or 3 of their defenders, this can be viewed as a lack of sharpness to not see the defenders coming, it does create more space in midfield for the likes of O'brien cutting in and when Vincelot/Fleck move forward.

He was pretty quick 10 years ago, not Walcott speed but he was fast.

Not sure if that's good news for us or not! He doesn't need the money but even so would he be happy to stay here on what we could afford to pay him?
Maybe offer to help him get into coaching?

Interesting article about his Villa Contract
Basically looks like he could cancel it at anytime himself.

Was a very testimonial feel to the whole Cole thing last night even the performance he put in, I like the guy but last night he was really off the pace I thought but that will come back given game time I'm sure & his brain did look a yard ahead of the game at times seems to help the squad so I'm all for him staying longer.

There have been several instances of sprinters winning 100 meters finals at over age 30. So it's certainly possible to be fast at that age if you look after your body and train well.

Great goal, but lets be honest he cant get fit, he has been trying to at Villa since the summer and now here for last few weeks. Its not going to happen. He is just a name from the past we should move on IMO.
