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...

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...

Kanj 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...

Given far too much respect in the middle. They should not feel comfortable in possession in our half. Going to have to change things up soon, their inevitable nutkins goal is coming.

Geordie Boyo Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Villa are dirty bastards like. That lean-in on Gordon’s shin from Cash pissed me off first. Knew what he was doing. As far as the yellow goes, it was still a goal scoring opportunity. He literally grabbed and pulled him then contested that Miggy dived the twat. He did it cos he knew he would have been through and scored. Should have been off. we just need to start the second half with high intensity again and put the game to rest. I said 4-1 and I still think we could do that, but we have been a bit suss at the back with our marking….
