Displayname Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 When the keeper makes a deliberate foul it should always be a red, no matter where on the pitch you are. Open goal is open goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very wide, close enough to the corner and there were three defenders back. Fun game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Well Martinez clearly thought it was an obvious goalscoring opportunity, otherwise why bring Miggy down so blatantly? I haven't missed the refereeing in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Looked like Villa were bossing it in midfield. Feel lucky to be ahead. Can't see this finishing 2-1. Though Almiron has been a bit shit as well. Edited August 12, 2023 by Turnbull2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Oh Jamie Redknapp doesn't like seeing people sent off so it's the right call. Even though he knows it's the same as Pope's last season. Problem solved! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Just now, buzza said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 4 minutes ago, Solitude20 said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
