  1. Not much to add. God first half, poor second when they stepped up. We were poor but we can't overlook that they are quite tough to play at their place. It was always going to be a tough game to play and I'm just glad we won. Oliver was poor and gave them all he didn't give us. But that's something we have to deal with. I hope it's not too bad with JJ. He looked ok just before he was taken off, so I hope it was just for precaution. I think Rogers were quite decent when he came on. I think he will come good for us. Promising start. Iroegbunam had a harder game today than the last time, but I think he was decent and it was good to see that he was trusted upon kn that situation. Hope for more from him. Next game, and then...
  2. I was so happy when we signed him this summer. Little did I know that I should've been happier. I hope he and Konsa can play together for us for many years. I think they're a match made in heaven.
  3. The tackla came first and then when Ollie's off balance the defender gets his leg, but IMO that's nothing to go for. And look, it's not that I mean that a penalty would've been totally wrong, it's not a clear cut situation, but I think the ref got it right in the end. I think it would've been a harsh penalty.
  4. Yeah, it seems that way and that is just ridiculous. And if so also wrong. He's got nothing to do with anything in that situation.
  5. I think we had a good game and made it harder for ourselves by letting that goal in. Lenglet, who had a good game apart from that, must get the ball instead of trying to cover it. But in the end I don't think they threatened us that much. Torres my motm. How good it felt to have him back. Interesting thing is that on swedish forums we're quite agreeing on that it wasn't a penalty. No more than 2 or 3 of their situations in our pen area. It was shoulder to shoulder and that's allowed. Practically pretty much the same way as when JJ won the ball for our 1st goal, although their player got in harder in his tackle. Anyhow, a good and important win. Now we need to beat nottingham next week to really re-establish ourselves in the 4th place. Oh, and that VAR check of Moreno's goal was more than dodgy.
  6. Or he tried to get Dubravka sent off to cripple newcastle even more. But my guess is the same as yours.
  7. This is a really tough one. I mean Tony Moon started off really well but now I think Joe Bennett is pushing him really hard for that spot. Okore has been immense and Bacuna is flying down that wing like he's in the CL. But in the end I give my vote to KEA, the playmaker and CDM in one that we've missed since forever. And that was a PFE to show how our team looked like only 10 years ago. Just a little reminder that no one needed and even less asked for. My serious vote goes to Douglas Luiz, the player that IMO really makes us ticking. The icing on the cake, or whatever term you use. He's so essential to our game. Having said that I can see why other goes for SJM, Watkins, Tores, Dibu, Konsa, you name it. They have all been superb and I love to watch them play. But for me it's Dougie.
  8. One of my very few good calls was when I 4 years ago said that this player will be something extra, even oushing Grealish for being the best Villa player. Ok, he was poor against manure and not at hus best against sheffield united and burnley, but still got 1+1 in those 3 games. He's so good at keeping the ball and spot a good pass and not too bad at breaking up play. He's not perfect at taking direct freekicks but his delivery is really good. He's a great player, that's it. We can't sign an equally good player just like that. It took him about 2-3 years to become the player he is now. Maybe longer. It's likely that it would take the same for his replacement. So let's find and sign that player now and wait before we sell Dougie. We need him. Probably more than we need £100m.
  9. Kind of what I was thinking when I watched the game. I thought our penalty was very soft and probably not a penalty. Then they got this pen and the swedish commentators argumented for it to be a correct call, so I guess I was wrong about our penalty.
  10. The thread about the boy who paid for our midfield and then some. I think he was ill adviced. As things are now I hope he can get a move to a decent club where he can develop into the player he can be. Stamford Bridge will never be that place.
  11. Not when it looks ridiculous to do it. And it would've looked ridiculous. He wouldn't get close to it. I'd say keepers rarely react in those situations.
  12. Isn't Revan out on loan? Anyway, thanks for that. Of course I forgot a fair few, that's always the case.
  13. I was thinking yesterday if Konsa and Zaniolo are the only outfield players yet to score in a competitive game this season. And Lenglet. Forgot Kellyman.
  14. Good win yesterday. Happy to be through but also ridiculously disappointed that we couldn't score another goal so the last game wouldn't mean anything. Most things have already been said, but I like to highlight one moment that made me smile. It was the face of Lucas Digne when Alex Moreno were subbed. He looked genuinely happy for him. That's his toughest competition for a starting place and he was only happy that he'd played well and scored a goal and got standing ovations from the fans. I think that says a lot about the atmosphere in the squad and it's a good thing.
