Up to you if you take my posts that way. I can't control that.
See the response I gave the Right Honourable Gentleman in post 122.
Mission accomplished. You can thank me later Jeff.
Big time. No complaints with the bookings that RAN and Semedo got but Villa then did the same multiple times and nothing. Awful refereeing.
It could have worked if we had any semblance of composure in the middle of the field. Hold the ball for a few seconds and pick a decent pass giving Guedes a chance to get there, or just launch it down there for him to run after like a headless chicken from 30 yards away.
In theory I don’t disagree but again I’d point at O’Neil; it was clear that Villa had worked out the lanes we wanted to pass through in order to break, and they consistently pressured us in midfield such that many of the inaccurate passes were forced (IMO) or we had to resort to dribbling past, which we’re pretty wretched at in our own third.
This feels harsh to me but it’s still so early I can’t exactly form a coherent argument against it.
Hard to tell. He’s had some good moments, but equally when he ran through towards goal in the first half I never thought he’d score at any point. Bit of a Doyle of a shot too.
It was just ridiculous at times. Onana absolutely clattered Andre at one point and then made another foul straight after. First was definitely a yellow anyway but nothing for either and then booked Lemina for a nothing challenge a couple of minutes later. Incompetence maybe but with my tin foil hat on it looked like blatant cheating.
I thought Rogers was quite lucky to stay on the pitch too
Very lucky, should've been booked in the first half and then the late change on Mosquera was enough to get him binned.
Properly took Yerson out, too.
