  1. Signing him might have had a fair bit to do with Mark Harrison, who we nicked from heading up West Brom's academy, where Rodgers spent 9 years before going to Man City. 

    He most likely knew all about him.

    Yes, he was disastrous and hamstrung us on offence all game. And The first goal came because he and Mcginn didn't mark the full back and the 2nd one wouldn't have happened if Carlos was playing because the ball went right over cash's head. 

    And you could say we would be out the competition if Carlos was playing because cash wasn't there to score the goal, and penalty which put us through. 

    You can't just keep the s*it bits and forget the good.

    Is Duran’s disciplinary record really as bad as everyone keeps saying or is this a bit of a Loco Colombiano stereotype? As I see it he’s very enthusiastic, young, can get overexcited / frustrated. I don’t see the lunatic Balotelli type figure some people keep painting him as.

    He's on 5 yellows and 18 fouls in 264 mins

    Our 'Worst' is probably Luiz, on 8 yellows and 40 fouls, but in 2512 minutes.

    So you'd have to say Duran picks up roughly 5 times the number of yellows and fouls per minute played... very roughly.

    But I suppose context is everything, maybe he comes on for the last 15 minutes and needs to chase and disrupt, which leaves him more open to the cards/fouls.

    Wouldn’t have equalised without him keeping the ball alive. Haven’t heard a pundit mention this yet but I’m sure one will have noted Toney clapping on the bench.

    Noone has mentioned ollies part in the goal. 

    Still watching, let's see if it's *ever* mentioned. 

     

    Seems the media want toney.

    Games at the highest level hang on the smallest moments.

    Konsa destroyed the game plan. McGinn is finished after that.

    Don't be ridiculous.

    McGinn has been one of our best players this season - and will be next.  He was obviously getting frustrated at a chance to put us on track for top 4 slipping away.

    He'll have a great game against Ajax, have a rest for 3 games then come back to help fire us to top 4.

    We are still in top 4, still in Europe. Relax. Spurs need to beat Chelsea yet - which is not a given by any means.

    In what context?

    Just when they do quick discussion of the top of the table. He'll read out every name, but makes sure he doesn't say the word's 'Aston Villa'. Have a watch back through the last few, you'll notice. He mentions every other team in some context or other, just not villa. Its like if they don't talk about it, it's not happening.  

    Im not worrying about it 😂, I just find it amusing every week when it's read out

  7. Just finished watching the replay of MOTD this morning, had to have a good laugh when *again* at the end Gary talks about the top of the table, mentioning every team in the top 8 *except* Aston Villa. This happens every week, it's comical now
