BlackandWhite Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 They know we're fucked, like. That caught my eye, too. It’s like it was 2009 all over again and Villa had just relegated us with how deflated and dejected they looked. You wouldn’t think there’s still half the season to go.

Conjo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 5 games in a row without a goal now? 7 shots on goal in those 5 games. One of these games went 120 minutes. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I haven't seen most of those matches, but I am actually surprised that they have managed as many shots on goal as they have. Before I started counting I expected 1 pr. match average at most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mourning relegation already. Bruce can't turn it around. He is making it worse. The players have gone. Loss on Tuesday and he is most surely done. Shame he will get at least until then.

jackyboy Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Villas passing and movement was light years ahead of ours. They took their foot off the gas and were a bit complacent when they went 2 up, they couldn't believe how easy it was. Our plan under Bruce is to keep the ball in our own half by passing it square and backwards then once we manage to get over the half way line just run with it and we might get a free kick or something. Don't they ever train with 1 touch football and pass it and move? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 It's all irrelevant because we're shit, Bruce etc.... But in a world where I actually cared. I know it looks like it doesn't matter because he was likely behind the ball but the talk last night about how it was "close to being offside but it doesn't matter because Schar played the ball" is total bullshit. He only plays the ball because he thinks Watkins is onside. Pre VAR the flag would have gone up if the linesman thought he was offside as the ball is played and that would be that. But they don't put flags up anymore. They wouldn't then go..oh but he's stretched to play it so play on. They were trying to say it was like the villa one the other night which it wasn't. There was a player standing offside but didn't effect the defender deciding to control the ball. He then got tackled, City player who was onside then scored. Very little interference. But last night, flag doesn't go up so what was Schar supposed to do? Assume he's offside and just let the ball go past him in the hope it goes up? Total bullshit.

Completely agree, I'm not sure on the rule around this as it was completely different to the goal they conceded vs City as both Schar and Watkins were both playing in the same phase.

joeyt Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yeah that offside ruling last night was abysmal if they didn't look at it because Schar touched it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Aye I thought that was absolute bollocks tbh. I was really surprised that Schär's touch discharged the fact that Watkins was clearly offside when the forward pass was played. Seems like a bollocks rule to me.

Guest neesy111 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I thought Watkins was onside as he was level with the ball, but that should've been checked with their stupid lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Said it before but 3 years ago we were 10th in the Prem and Villa were struggling to get out of the Championship Since then we've managed to hire their failed manager and barely register a shot on target against them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 At some point in the game opposition players must just realise they’ve got 10 seconds more time than they ever normally have. Then they can start to play. Sadly Leeds already know because of how recently we played them and how good their manager is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Jack Grealish can be heard during the game in the 69th minute on sky sports saying ''Just keep it moving these are shit'' Great awareness from him. Even by our standards this was one of the more depressing efforts. Lose the next two and surely even Donnay Nonce has to see the light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Grealish is that sort of player that when you own him, you know he's a prick, but he's your prick so you love him, for everyone else he just seems like a bit of a nob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
