Villa (H) Post Match Thread

[Didsbury Dave]

I've never known so many mistakes by a commentary team.

1) savage getting his facts wrong at half time.
2)commentator kept saying gundogan has scored, when it was silva.
3)mc pointy, kept saying the header was going wide anyway, as if that had anything to do with it!.
4)commentator saying great clearance from Stones,when it was DIAS.
I bet there is more as well.

There are. The clown continually called Cancelo "Cansella" and Zinchenko "Zinchenka". That's the first rule of commentary: the only commentators allowed to mispronounce names in football history have been Mick Channon and Ron Atkinson.

What is going on here, that rule has existed for years and Rodri didn't really do anything special. I thought everyone knew that once the defender controls the ball, the play resets? Strikers have been trying to exploit that since forever, but it's hard to exploit and it's more down to Mings completely fucking up than Rodri taking advantage. He was literally just jogging back form an offside position and saw that Mings had cocked up.

Villa defended quite well, we had at least 5 chances that would have been a goal on any other day. The weather didn't help and obviously they have had a long rest, so there was no chance of them tiring out. I thought Bernardo wasn't having a great game until he started to come alive when KDB went off, felt like the old Bernardo when he realised he needed to step up while KDB was out.

I don't think Bernardo is the false 9 answer, i much prefer Ferran in that role tbh.

Has any media outlet mentioned how on earth Grealish wasn't at least yellow carded for any of his multiple assaults on several of our players yet (forcing two of them off the pitch), or are they still crying about a goal that was allowed to stand because the laws of the game say that there was nothing wrong with it?

They are crying because we won.

If they ask pep in the next press conference about the Silva goal he should just laugh Or give them a wink.

I found it incredible that Peter Walton did not know the off side law but then again he is part of the PL training department. For all Moss's faults at least he knew the law.

Then to say it shouldn't be a pen because the header was not on target. Beggars belief.

Also, the persistent fouling law appears to have changed. I counted 7 by Grealish without a card or even a talking to. In my day you were told to talk to the player on 3 fouls, caution on 4 and 2nd yellow for next offence.

What was different to most of our games, is that Villa actually meant to win the game, not having a mindset on damage limitation. Over the years, a handful of teams, RM, Barca, Juve rags BM have reached the point where teams mentally write a game off against them, plan for 0-0 and even going behind does not change things. Villa were on the back foot for most of the game simply because they had no choice, not as a tactic. Made for a cracking game, just a shame the furore over Bernies goal has taken all the head-lines

"Sterlink" made me unreasonably angry.

Turf Moor could have 2 ft of water on it won't make any difference. Scouse at home.

TBF Turf Moor is at 128m above sea level, Anfield is at 66m, so all of that water could run downhill and flood Liverpool.


One can hope.

It can join all their tears from last nights win for us.

Is that true (I thought it was myself) because I keep seeing in the comments sections of the media people crying that they keep changing the rules?
