Aston Villa (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Stoned Rose]

Not seen a replay of the Haaland Martinez collision, for those watching on the box was it the right call? Looked a 50/50 at the time, not sure it’s a foul either way, just a coming together.

Not a pen mate

When Dias is not there everything goes to shit with our defense. we need him out there as much as possible.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

And we score a possible 3 more first half and ?

Got the result that's all that matters but we still don't look right.

Wasn't a pen, but wasn't a foul on Martinez, so goal should have stood!

 

[PragueBlue]

Any other day and that finishes 3-3, got lucky second half.

Nonsense.

Norman Collier, not Norman Wisdom, you silly cow!

I’m surprised she’d heard of either tbf

Much better performance in the first half. Got the response we were all waiting for post Pep's outstanding performance in the pre game press conference.

Thought Rodri was superb, same with Bernardo until his mistake for their goal. Grealish continues his form, and Foden finally returning is great news. Thought Dias and Laporte played well together, we didn't look as assured at the back with Dias coming off for Akanji, but second half we definitely put the cue in the rack.

Liked the formation as it got our better players on the pitch. Hoping for a back 4 of Walker, Dias, Laporte and Ake against Arsenal. Think that's our best defensive line up with Stones out.

Hope Haaland's injury isn't to major, don't think it is as he looked fine up until half time but you never know with knocks.

Onto Arsenal now, hoping we bring the intensity from the first half to their anti-Oil even though their sponsored by Emirates Stadium.

Nonsense.

If it weren’t for Ederson, Villa were right back in that, he made some vital contributions at 3-1 to stop it being 3-2 and anything could have happened after that.

No but we scored if it was a 50/50
