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.

buzza Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Aye, Diaby has looked sharp. Also, douglas Luiz seems to have had a new burst of life, he has been very good in their midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popes was in the middle of the pitch for starters, don’t get me wrong I think it was a red but it wasn’t the same as popes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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….

Tina Tooner Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 It was a yellow for foul on Almiron. He was too wide and a defender covering the goal. Still doesnt take away the fact that Martinez is a horrible wee cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 5 minutes ago, Froggy said: He has been absolutely shocking. 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. I wouldn't fancy our chances of defending an empty net, no matter how many defenders are back there. He brought Miggy down precisely because he didn't fancy their chances either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I think the angle and the covering defender meant it was a yellow card if I'm taking my biased hat off for a minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Reminds me of the game at their place last season. They seem very skilled at throwing themselves down at the softest contact to get free kicks. We have the opposite of a honer ref today though. Seems to want to give every little thing for them and is letting alot go against us and particularly Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
