Not stop the shithousing, just take the kicks a fraction earlier. Not clearing in the woods about QUITE so much when he's on a card (I'm certain he wasn't aware of the yellow card rule) It's not to stop it but just to turn it down to 10. I'm sure Watkins didn't need all the continuing shenanigans whilst waiting for his penalty. But he's so so good at the shithousing, it is hilarious. I've already had blues fans banging on about his cheating. I thought the yellow was a tad harsh as the crowd got him that card Lille keeper had the ball longer at one stage in 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko#4 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Is he now suspended for the semi first leg? He technically got two yellows so should it be a one match ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referee was lost out there. He held the ball for long periods but it was at his feet ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah they all get wiped. I never knew that rule though. I guess you can’t make subs during penalties so it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 18 Popular Post Share Posted April 18 Boo’d by 45k fans who already hate him for 120 mins.

Like it or lump it his reputation DOES precede him. Which is why dialing it down just 1 notch would help. We don't need him getting a ban or a red. It's just that fraction earlier to kick the ball instead of inviting the card, especially when you are a marked man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Makes the penalty area his own in shootouts. Controls the ball, the space, the crowd…he controlled the referee for crying out loud. The man is a maestro in these situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 1 minute ago, Nicho said: Is there any other keeper in the world you want in a pen shoot out Honestly no. It's not just his technical ability at saving penalties but the fact that he consistently psyches his opponents out. His reputation is such now that he probably doesn't even have to lift a finger to get inside the heads of penalty takers now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterDad Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 22 minutes ago, villa4europe said: That's a different thing, I'm not saying emi is out best ever player but he is the only villa player that can say he is genuinely the best player in the world at his position while wearing a Villa shirt And obviously world cup winner while playing for us Mcgrath can't say that, as good as he was he wasn't the best CB in world football Well that is a debatable point in itself - I think Paul McGrath is as good a defender that has ever been - imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieVillan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 He takes control of these situations! Becoming a legend for Villa. He’s lucky Watkins was ice cold though, I’m sure he didn’t appreciate having to wait that long to take his pen, although that was more the crowd than Emi… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
