Villa (H) Post Match Thread

Rodri gained 20 odd yards on Mings before he touched the ball. He was in the perfect position to dispossess him due to the run he had made from an offside position.

My argument isn’t that Rodri was offside because the law states he clearly wasn’t, it’s that the law should change so Rodri should be offside.

I expect they will change the law...and back date it.
 
That looked a bit like the Leicester game when Vinny came to the rescue. We do have a collective brain fart in front of goal when breaking the back of the net would do just fine.
The inability to get the ball past the first blocking defender is jaw dropping.

On 'another day' that McGinn shot goes in and Dias puts into his own net. On another, 'another day' we score anything between five and ten goals. City much the better team tonight and the goals came from a couple of our many match-winners. Like I said before, Villa only have Grealish and most of their dangerous play tonight started or went through him. Take him out of the team and they're just Palace with a different coloured top.

I thought Villa were surprisingly good, I haven't watched a huge amount of non-City games this season but I thought they looked better than a lot of the teams talked of as title contenders. Can see them easily finishing in the European places depending on how and where their games in hand are jammed in to their schedule.

Completely agree with fuck Villas fans, bunch of absolute cunts at the League Cup final. And yes you are entitled to that opinion and I agree with it. But the players did defend really well and gave us a good game. Which is my opinion of the match.
 
Does the fact Rodders gets back onside by dropping behind another Villa defender who was deeper than Mings (phase 1) then tackling Mings (phase 2) mean it’s irrelevant anyway....even though my point is irrelevant also? :)

I did say this before the game, Villa are one of the best sides in the league. They are better than Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton and on a good day, Spurs.

The only reason they are down in 11th is because they've got 3 games in hand on most of the clubs above them.
 
Three ex-professional footballers on Match of the Day all saying that Villa were hard done to and the law was wrong as it is.
All fucking three of them played football with the exact same law in place. How come none of them started a campaign to have it changed if they think it’s so wrong?
I‘d love to go back and see if Linekar ever scored a goal from something similar that he is now claiming ‘should’ be offside.
 
Great result, typical shit storm because we knew the rules and played to them, a good steal off his toes , he wasn't offside when he won the ball , he just made Mings look stupid. Definite handball tough on Villa who worked hard but who gives a shit

I genuinely think that conversation is completely different if they were talking about the Rag's or Dipper's (and probably any other team).

Excellent, well fought victory. Possibly the most entertaining match of the season to date, certainly exciting!

The most surprising thing for me tonight was to find that John Moss and the VAR ref know the laws of the game better than the alleged 'expert' paid a no doubt significant sum by BT to question VAR decisions, and the rag affiliated pundits... Experts my arse.

It's embarrassing. It's a goal under the rules. However it's a goal for City rather than Littlewoods..rags...tottingham or little Leicester.
 
For me, it could have been called back for offside say if it was a city attack and Bernardo attempts to lob the ball to rodri but mings intercepts.

but I don’t think Bernardo is attempting to pass to rodri I think he just quickly intercepts Martinez long pass and it fortunately lands close to mings.

abit similar to a keeper can pick the ball up from a back pass if it’s more of an interception as it’s not a deliberate back pass, that ball could of landed anywhere.

also people need to lay off other people’s opinions. Yes the decision was correct, but how many decisions are wrong these days!
