It's a penalty all day long by the rules but I think the rules are bullshit tbf to young. Where are you supposed to put your arm when you slide like that.

We look susceptible to the counter but fortunately Villa aren't very good

Longstaff's been good

Disgrace from Villa's medical team to let him play on the first time

Was definitely the best of our midfielders like. This is ignoring how good is pressing was an' all.

On a Sunday??! Crazy talk

Thought Longstaff started the first 15 slow, but he was phenomenal after that. Constantly overlapping and pressing like fuck. He looks quicker and fitter again like he did under Rafa.

Not sure why comms think Bruno is on a yellow

Longstaff has been much better than Willock in this game

how on earth is Burn losing a header to Skipp ffs

They still look very dangerous on the counter but I guess that’s their game and they have two world class forwards.

We’re not playing a particularly high line tbh

Kane ruining us here

These can be bullied. Hope big Jo and Wilson are fit and ready.

Wonder if we might look at Dango Ouattara who has been a bit of a breakout in Ligue 1 this season. 20 year old left footed left/right winger playing for Lorient. His offensive and defensive output has been outrageous. https://fbref.com/en/players/2f9e4435/scout/11585/Dango-Ouattara-Scouting-Report

Fuck, opened the forum and read Bruno Guimaraes: now dead. What is wrong with me.

In what way? I think that’s the bit of the game he’s executing well to be honest. Consistently amongst the most pressures and was top again last night.

Press the fuck out of them and they’re dodgy. Especially when they don’t have Kulusevski to link. Hopefully we’re not knackered and Joelinton’s fit. Him and Longstaff will be massive if we’re to get anything.

He has the highest non-penalty xG per 90 and most touches in the opponents box of any midfielder in the league this season. The goals will come soon hopefully.

Look at how he moves straight after Miggy’s goal. Was clearly injured then.

Since we’ve been playing with Burn at left back were essentially a 3-1-6 with the ball. It’s insanely agressive . Really need the two 8s to start scoring goals though.

Thought Pope was great. Literally didn’t have a shot to save but came and caught everything.

Would like to see him play more.

Hakimi, Walker, James and that’s about it I think. He’s better than TAA. Cancelo isn’t anywhere near the player at right back as he is at left back.
