[Dier Hard]

To think that the forum experts said we were mad to sell him. The same forum experts who said we'd miss Hazard.

Well you did get tanked by the one top team you’ve faced so far... Leicester were unlucky too tbh.

Mike Dean and grabbing headlines. Name a more iconic duo.

****ing ridiculous red, not even sure there was any contact at all, but he got to show the red like he wanted. where the **** is VAR?

Doesn't/won't review second yellows.

I don't think VAR is used for yellows, even if it's a second one. Very minimal contact, though the intent was there. Soft, soft red.

Mike Dean found the loop-hole his ego craves

 

[PleaseNotPoll]

It's livened up since the red. There might be another one in a minute, though.

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't review second yellows tbh.

yeah, Noble needs to calm down.
Still pissed off there wasn't a double red in the first half though

It doesn't do **** at the moment, apart from backing the ref up. It doesn't really review anything.

The "headbutt"? Would've been a soft red for El Ghazi, but a double would've been ridiculous.
Stupid stuff, but no real need for the ref to get involved.

Apart from offsides being done to the nearest mm, even if they're clearly a foot off from the first replay.

Damning.

 

[PleaseNotPoll]

Villa look really confused about what they're supposed to be doing. The extra man hasn't helped them at all, so far.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

Villa seem to be sitting back and letting the Spanners have all the possession.

That could be a mistake.

 

[Hoddle is a god]

Villa take off a defender and bring on a striker.

It's a very offensive move.

They smell blood.

 

[PleaseNotPoll]

Wesley needs to stay on his feet. Constantly diving. Then Fredericks does the same down the other end.

 

[Big Ern]

poor decision at the end from Fornals, he looks a bit lost and lacking confidence. If we'd played with the intensity we did when we were down to 10 from the start it would've been 3 points.

Gave Liverpool more than a good game in the super cup for 120 minutes. Level at the end. They're not a top team are they?

Rumour has it they were taking it easy on ya.

Thought he was going to drive that across the keeper into the far corner. Wonderful chance to win it at the death, fluffed his lines.
