Jas10 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Is there really a better sight than Emi claiming a high ball or cross and then lying down on it? So reassuring and eases all nerves and tension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the most relevant stat out there for me, and if you are backing it up with commanding your box and commanding the space behind your teams high line then surely it means you are the best at what you are asked to do. You then add in most time on the ball in the whole of the Prem which allows Villa to conserve energy . The greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins and Emi are the only 2 first XI players where we don't have backup without there being a big dropoff in quality. It is essential that they stay fit until we can get a new backup GK and Duran develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted April 26 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26 Are we appealing and trying to get Emi to play for both legs of the semi finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes all the difference and is irreplaceable… all we could do is downgrade… massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Emi and will forgive him any sin but I’m not sure what grounds we would appeal on. I’m pretty sure “he was just asking for a ball back” would be laughed off Edit: obviously hope I am wrong and we can convince whatever UEFA beancounter we need to!

cb_82 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I think the suspension is because he was booked in the first leg so with the 2 in the second league he has hit 3 which is the total that you can get before a suspension between groups and semi finals? The argument would be should that yellow count towards the 3 as it was at the end of the game in another phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t appeal yellows unless it’s really exceptional circumstances, the ref being a bit crap isn’t going to be enough of a reason for UEFA to open up a one-off yellow card appeals process just for us.

Haven't read anything from UEFA, sky said they had heard from a contact in UEFA but nothing since then and no statement from them, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If getting booked mistakenly for an offence that wasn't actually committed during a penalty shootout when it turns out yellow cards don't carry over and aren't recorded in the referee's report aren't really exceptional circumstances then I don't know what is.

Stephen_Evans Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Our injuries this season…unbelievable. Poor Emi! I guess it’s encouraging that he felt able to continue until halftime. Hopefully an abundance of caution. Edited April 27 by Stephen_Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
