Aston Villa (H) Post-Match Thread

@asahartford1 Karen liked this — all is well in the world again. ;-)

A truly fun character Karen7. Love her to bits. Good thing with her is she likes a laugh. Can have a fall out but she never holds a grudge until the next time you fall out!!

Now Walton says in his opinion he doesn’t touch it and Humphreys jumps down his neck because it doesn’t suit his Klopp-noshing agenda. The guy is a prick.

Your turn of phrase has changed the song for me forever, my friend.
'Back with another one of those Klopp-noshing cheats'

We won every game that Otamendi is not started?

No one ever claimed VAR would mean 100% of decisions ended up being correct, just that there would be less errors overall. I think it’s doing it’s job.

Think we are missing sanes raw pace.

Also think he will go though. We do miss a really quick winger.

Foden looked good when came on.

Ederson having a great season so far.

Just hang on in there until Laporte fit.

Agree with all of that.

What's impressing me with Foden is he's prepared to have a pop whenever he gets a chance. Too much farting about in front of goal from some of our players sometimes.

Hasn't the law been recently changed so that yellows/reds only count in the particular competition in which the card was given, so Fernandinho misses the league game. No great shakes either way. Garcia can start on the bench.

No Fern will be suspended for the cup tie on Tuesday mate, he will be available for our next league game.

Had a quick look in on the matchday thread at half-time, and for the umpteenth time, I found it absurdly harsh on the team and its performance up to then. I don't think I'll bother with it in future. Far too many kneejerk reactions, and a general sense that we should be steamrollering teams right from the off. Very little sense that they may have strenous other ideas about that.
Only one player looked poor in my opinion, at that stage and pretty much throughout the match. Benjamin Mendy. He looked about as mobile as a Sherman tank with its gearbox seized up. I really hope it's because he's had so little match time. Kev was a bit ordinary, although even in an ordinary match he can reach parts of the team that other right feet cannot reach.

Just going to ask is she ok as she hasn't posted, then like the genie of the lamp she appears.

Seen the replay now. Sterling was obviously in the keeper's line of sight so if Silva touched it, Sterling was offside. I can see why VAR took so long.

1. Was Sterling in an offside position when De Bruyne played it? No.
2. Was Sterling in an offside position if/when Silva played it? Yes.
3. Was Sterling in the keeper's line of vision? Yes.
4. Did Silva touch it? We keep replaying it, and we can't say that he does. Goal.

Premier League yellow & red card rules for 2019-20

"Just like in 2018-19, any yellow card picked up by a player in a game will berestricted to the particular competition they were playing in.

So, if Pogba is cautioned in a Premier League match for Manchester United, it does not hang over his head in the FA Cup.

Likewise, if Abraham receives a booking for Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, it will not count towards his tally when he is playing in the Premier League.

However, while there is no crossover when it comes to yellow cards,suspensions arising from the presentation of a red card will apply to all competitions."

So it looks as if Dinho will miss Tuesday's game and can play in the Saturday league fixture.
