Nah.

What's your theory then. We completely fuck up an attacking move with a goalkeeper out of play as its only one of the best scenarios you can wish for in the sport?

Villa are good man.

 

We're going to have to work hard for the result.

 

Botman getting a yellow there was really bloody stupid too. Just get the hell off the pitch. Not happy at all with him having to manage that in the second half now.


Relax on Botman

They're getting through our midfield a bit too easily. If Villa start playing with a bit more belief we could be in trouble. 

 

Barnes for Miggy would bring about an improvement.

 

Bruno looks like he's searching for a role.

Longstaff for Bruno. Controversial, but Tonali isn’t coming off.

I’m so rattled by this reffing.

 

He has been absolutely shocking. :lol: it definitely wasn't a red on Almiron though. He was very wide, close enough to the corner and there were three defenders back. 

 

Fun game.

don’t really see how it’s any different to Pope’s red last season tbh. There was a covering defender then too.

 

The major difference is where on the pitch, higher up and near byline, that's what saved him.

 

I think it's a red as Miggy is away covering defender or not. An attacking player bearing down on the goal with no GK, is the epitome of a clear chance imo.

Aye Bruno has probably been our second worst player, miggy has been invisible for long spells. Would probably bring on anderson or murph for miggy a bit later...

BRUNO will sort it for the second half.

I think we have been better than Villa, they have resorted to a lot of punts over the top.

We need to keep it tight and maintain the press, their defence is suffering tryi g to bring the ball out.

 

 

Yeah, think we've been better on the whole but they are defending well at the final moments and they have major threats on the counter.

Madley is a wanker.

 

We are actually frighteningly good in my opinion. Villa id say is the toughest team that will come up here after City and Liverpool, our style kind of suits theirs of punt it up to the fast players.

 

Still feel that we could have had 2 more if Isak and Bruno had been a bit more on it in terms of decision making and passing today.

 

Miggy and Gordon were even flagging a bit towards the end, at least its exciting that we have Anderson, Barnes and to a degree Murphy to come in and replace them once the tank runs out. Can't help but feel we should have forked out for Diaby though on the right to pressure Miggy, that would have been pretty insane.

Wasn't that for deliberately handling the ball outside the box?

Think we’ve been a little sloppy in the final third but that will work itself out. Glad we’re going towards the gallowgate this half. More of the same and attack cash at all opportunities.

Exactly, it looks we are literally playing without a holding midfielder. All our three midfielders move up when we are trying to score and leave this massive void in front of our defense. Aston Villa is simply walking through that space without any challenge. 

 

Yeah that's how it looks.

apparently the rules are different for handball to a foul like Martinez’s, aye. Still think it’s clearly denying a goal scoring opportunity, like.
