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...

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.
-
Really really.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Or he tried to get Dubravka sent off to cripple newcastle even more. But my guess is the same as yours.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Isn't Revan out on loan? Anyway, thanks for that. Of course I forgot a fair few, that's always the case. -
Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Legia Warszawa

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. -
Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Legia Warszawa
Pelle replied to limpid's topic in UECL5: Legia Warszawa h
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.- 136 replies

Of course you're right, but I've seen us f**k up too many times before to really believe in what I see these days. It will take some time before I get used to this. If ever.

I have a bad feeling about this game. But it wouldn't surprise me if we beat them with 5 or 6 either. In the end the most Villany would be to lose today. Or a draw.
-
Well, that'll do, Villa, that'll do. Great game from the boys in the claret & blue. Ollie obviously motm 3+1 and directly involved in the other two goals too. I don't like that Digne thought it was a good thing to make me a little nervous. But how much he's improved this season. The swedish studio argued that the 2nd goal should've been called off for offside. I agree that it was but it's doing my head in that they have never even thought of the possibility that the same happened against liverpool. Nevermind, 6-1 is frigging wonderfull and it's a great Saturday. UTV!

True. I don't think we should read too much into that, but I agree. That was odd. I only saw it yesterday.

Just a few words about penalties and who takes them: Holland international team in the late 80's/early 90's. Strikers: Marco van Basten and Ruud Gullit. Penalty taker was central defender Ronald Koeman. Denmark in the mid 80's. Strikers were Preben Elkjaer and Michael Laudrup. Penalty taker was Jesper Olsen. I think Ollie will be fine without taking them, especially as he's missed 2 or 3. But right now he lacks confidence, I'd guess. The finish on his first chance yesterday hints at that. A striker full of confidence will take at least one more step to get closer to the keeper and then put it past him. Ollie yesterday took the first best chance to score, probably afraid of losing the ball or miss an even better chance. On the cross from Cash I guess he didn't see it in time. It all went fast and there were one or two defenders between them. But that's just me guessing. I have no doubt Ollie will score double figurer again. I think he'll score 17. And so far he's assisted 3 goals and got us a penalty in 5 games. That's a really good contribution.
-
It was quite obvious that palace feared his passes. Every time he got the ball they put pressure on him so he couldn't set up the passes. Konsa was allowed to carry the ball more. Having said that I think Konsa's passing is quite underrated. He's not poor with the ball at his feet. Anyway, yes, he got turned a bit too easy yesterday and the same against burnley and he needs to learn how to handle that. I think/hope he will. He seems to be a fairly intelligent young man and has a good teacher in UE. I think he will be good for us, but it will take some time before he's at his best.
-
Especially when we're 1-0 down and he hasn't had the best of games like most of the team. I'd be more worried if he looked happy clappy.
-
Such a good player. I thought he got the armband when SJM walked off, but obviously he didn't. Anyway, it's around players like him, Diaby and Dibu that we should build the team. So much class.
-
Cheers for that explanation. I was wondering a little why noone mentioned it. And the reason is that I as usual missed a crucial part there. Oh well, we won anyway.
-
It shouldn't feel this good to beat palace at home, but I take it. Were at the pub with a few other swedish Villans and we'd all but given up long before the 87th minute. We didn't create many chances and those we did create just wouldn't go in. To be one goal down in the 87th minute and then win by 3-1 is quite amazing no matter what team you play. Was it a penalty? I think it was but I thought he'd turn it over and wouldn't have moaned that much. It wasn't clear cut, IMO. But still a penalty. Wasn't it said before this season that there should be daylight between the attacker and the defender to be offside? There certainly was no daylight between Diaby and their defenders. Anyway, not a great game but a great way to win. But I still wonder where we stand. How good are we? It will be an interesting game on Sunday. But Legia Warszawa first. UTV!
