Villa (H) Post Match Thread

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith to BT Sport: "In terms of effort, it was heroic. We only had three days' training and played a very good team. They had lots of chances but they've missed them and they've been given two goals at the end.

"Are we just going to leave players behind the line then? It's farcical. He was 10 yards offside and come back and tackled our player, it's a pathetic law and a pathetic decision.

"I said to the fourth official David Coote 'did you get juggling balls for Christmas?' I don't think any other manager would get sent off for that.

"Matty Cash is a yard away for the handball, he can't jump without his arms up. He didn't even look at it, it flabbergasts me. It was a poor performance from the officials and that's cost us."

So he's not happy. Three days training is okay after two weeks rest. How many of their players actually had covid? Anyway we had to cope with a similar situation so fuck them.
Dean Smith is a liar because the TV replay shows him twice calling the ref a ****. I am not a lipreader but it was bloody obvious. Unless he called him a cook!
 
He was onside by the time he took the ball off the Villa player. Not sure what the fuss was about.

Did you miss the part where I clearly said my issue is with the law and not the decision?

I don’t think that players should be allowed to benefit from being in an offside position. Rodri closes 20 yards on Mings before he plays the ball. That puts him in the very position to be able to make the tackle.

Like I said, I was pissed off when decisions like that have gone against us because I disagree with the law.
 
The only reason Mahrez should play instead of Foden or Bernardo or Torres is if they are all injured or on holiday. I have never witnessed a more lazy wage stealing waste of space since seeing Berbatov. I have seen lava move faster, his defending is poor and the predictable step over cut in shoot into the stands is becoming really tedious to watch. He seems to be playing for himself, not for the team. He has such potential, but just doesn’t deliver all the time.
