Aston Villa 1/2 - Build Up & Match Thread

[The Bear]

Cunha is getting a right mardy twat. If the ball doesn't come to him when he wants he just stops and watches.

I'd be tempted to haul him off for Rodrigo if he carries on.

 

[YoungWolf]

Cunha has been the worst of this front 3 which is mightily impressive

 

[Jinky]

Yeah it was... offside man blocked Semedo from getting to challenge the ball across... good officiating and VAR

Never a block. He briefly touches his back but never a block. We’ll take it, though.

Penalty? Booted Toti…

 

[Squeak]

Cunha’s really annoying me here. Walking around, waving his arms about. How about you MOVE for the ball when your teammates are looking for you?!

Agreed...same first half and the last few games. We all know what he can do but doing it every 6 to 8 games doesn't cut it.

 

[Carsy]

But behind on the chat but bellegardes actually had a decent game

 

[Alan]

Me: "I can't believe how well Jean is playing!"

My Anxiety Brain: "...sure would be a shame if it never happened again."

 

[t3ch]

Pen?

Ah yeah course not luls

 

[Carsy]

Think it’s incredibly soft, personally and one we’d be livid about if it were roles reversed

 

[YoungWolf]

Pen?

Ah yeah course not luls

If given doesn’t get overturned type of one

 

[James]

Pen?

Nah our lucky VAR streak must end at some point

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well that's levelled it up as it's a penalty.

 

[The Bear]

I didn't think it looked a pen tbh. Would need to see a better angle.

 

[Alan]

If given doesn’t get overturned type of one

Looked worse in real time IMO.

 

[Squeak]

So, a flick on the shoelaces for Sterling for Man City a couple of years ago gets them a pen, a kick to the heal on Toti = Nothing.

 

[Carsy]

If given doesn’t get overturned type of one

File under ‘extremely soft’ if given

 

[Alan]

Oooof sorry Leon, I think I hexed you into that by bigging you up.

2 wrongs don’t make a right and all that.

 

[Jinky]

Kicked Toti’s boot in the process of going through the ball, so it’s a pen. We’re not getting that many decisions in a row go our way though.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah we aren’t keeping a clean sheet are we at this rate

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Well that's levelled it up as it's a penalty.

We’ve had plenty given against us for similar. Fulham last year springs to mind.
