Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Fully supportive of what Dean Smith did there and he was right to correctly tell the sad excuse of a referee that it was an infringement on play. We have been getting seriously shafted by VAR again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Aston Villa manager Dean Smith to BT Sport: "In terms of effort, it was heroic. We only had three days' training and played a very good team. They had lots of chances but they've missed them and they've been given two goals at the end. "Are we just going to leave players behind the line then? It's farcical. He was 10 yards offside and come back and tackled our player, it's a pathetic law and a pathetic decision. "I said to the fourth official David Coote 'did you get juggling balls for Christmas?' I don't think any other manager would get sent off for that. "Matty Cash is a yard away for the handball, he can't jump without his arms up. He didn't even look at it, it flabbergasts me. It was a poor performance from the officials and that's cost us." https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/55324724?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=60088e6554a69202e80dd2ce%26'Did you get juggling balls for Christmas%3F'%262021-01-20T20%3A12%3A02.648Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:1dd41f3a-eed5-4c27-9f23-5153c92cc4c6&pinned_post_asset_id=60088e6554a69202e80dd2ce&pinned_post_type=share Edited January 20, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 11 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 We've every right to walk away from that with the moral high-ground there - it was a very good performance from us and if it weren't for some extremely controversial decisions, we'd have at least got a draw.

Completely disagree there. We have played some fantastic football this season, but today we were poor methinks. We worked hard. Had a few great counters, but on another day City would be 5-6 up. I am not sure whether we didn’t try to play football or City just outclassed us today. We did little on the ball. Lots of hoofing. Key players contributed little. Grealish not on it. Barkley poor. McGinn misplacing passes all over the place. Heroic defending and blocking at times, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely disagree We weren't our usual attacking selves but we certainly weren't poor What we did was set ourselves up to defend, we played incredibly deep, we let city have the ball in positions where they couldn't hurt us and then defended excellently in areas that they could Its a tactic, its one that we don't use often and one that we've played badly before, tonight we chose to play a certain way and we played it well, the shame is that going forward we looked like a team who hadn't played for 3 weeks due to corona We didn't go toe to toe with city because we knew we couldn't 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The interesting thing in his interview isn't the clown comment its the accusation that he's being treated differently to other managers Expect the FA to want an explanation And I hope villa give them a very well thought out comprehensive one detailing how shit they all are 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 A precedent has been set then. Plan for Watkins when we come up a defence who likes to bring the ball down - tell him to lurk behind the line and wait for the defender to take a ‘deliberate touch’ then tackle him from behind or they’ll have to clear it.
