sharkyvilla Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I genuinely think he's getting every ounce out of the squad, to his credit. Just hope he can convince some quality to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have booked Bacuna and didn't. Anyway, Villa look for better these last 2 games. Richards and Guzan dropped and every player working so much harder. Maybe dropping the keeper and the captain has sent out the mesage every player needs to earn their place. I really didn't see what Remind was bringing to the party, until this last fortnight.

Maybe if I had followed the match thread I'd have a different opinion but watching the game I never particularly felt any strong bias (P.s. I missed the first 10 minutes of the second half as I was late back from collecting the Chinese...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Remi for that. Just hope its not another false dawn. We thought we'd turned the corner after the Newcastle 2nd half and West Ham and that was then followed by Norwich and Sunderland. The last 2 games have given me a slither of hope again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have missed the forearm smash on kozak in the area then The ref was a Leicester fan he was looking right at it and it was one of the most blatant pens I've seen in ages yet he gives the Cissokho pen without hesitation consistency is everything you can't give a 50/50 pen like that without a second thought then not give a blatant penalty like that Garde can't get anymore out of this team at the minute they are fighting were just having no luck which is what happens when your down the bottom Edited January 16, 2016 by AshVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Our goal was handball too. I think it evened itself out in terms of the ref, but he shouldn't be making mistakes like that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go into the match thread (rarely do, it's full of moronic overreactions) I thought he was awful for both teams. We had two penalties not given (one was as obvious a penalty as you'll see), our goal was a handball, and he just generally gave some bizarre decisions. Veretout committed an obvious foul about 3 foot from the ref, he was looking straight at it, and didn't give it. He was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 95 minute game of football. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Can anyone explain that substitution? Did he settle for the draw? Yes. It was the right decision at that point, we'd had our chances. He played an absolute blinder today. That could be a huge point, particularly given how it played out. He is keeping his end up. Time he was backed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed things for both sides, like the fact our goal was handled in the build up and Ayew's (I think) studs up dangerous tackle which deserved a booking. My post was in response to the other post about playing against 12 men. We won some decisions and lost some. I didn't see any exceptional bias.

Oh I agree there was no bias. apologies, I can see that's what you meant now. I just thought he was crap. But yes no bias, just incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
