stewiek2 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Dogturd first half Villa. Where has the high tempo gone? The high pressing? The movement? You don't need Jack on the pitch for those basics that worked earlier in the season!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Watkins wasn't a penalty. McGinn was!!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bose Posted April 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2021 I think we’ll win this 3 or 4 nil. Just need a bit of luck, better build up play, more confidence, creativity, more aggression, a finishing touch and capable players. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 When is it ever going to be fair to question Smith? Obviously has no idea without Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Calling it now. This team would not stay up without Grealish. Not a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Do we actually practice our set peices? Our free kicks are woeful! Mcginn was more of a penalty but was not even reviewed. Apart from that a steaming pile of winnie in that 1st half! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 No shots on target again. What have they been doing during the international break? Certainly not coming up with tactics to create goal scoring opportunities that’s for sure. Fulham are pants and we don’t look like we could score in a million years. Not sure what the final score will be but I can bet that it will be 0-?! Just painful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted April 4, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2021 Having seen it a few times, I think the Watkins one is fifty-fifty, but every time I see the McGinn one it looks more and more a pen. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 1 minute ago, Davkaus said: No. But it is a rule that if you get the player before the ball, it's definitely a foul. If you get the ball then the player, it's a more nuanced question of whether the force of the tackle is excessive. I think it was a great tackle personally. Agreed we've been hard done by at times this season but this time it was a fair decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2021 Really would love to know how that penalty call was an 'obvious error' to get the ref to re look at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2021 I don't understand why we are so utterly unable to create chances. If it's not on a break or out of someone dropping a clanger, we can't seem to make chances. We pump crosses into the box with absolutely nothing coming of them, there's never anyone near them, the defence or goalkeeper just deals with it without breaking a sweat. And then we do it again. And again. And again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Why didn’t VAR give the hold on SJM the same intense scrutiny they gave ollies touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2021 I think otherwise we've been okay - not good, but not bad either. One team will get a bounce of the ball and take it - hopefully that's us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doaflip Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Don't think we really looked like scoring. Big second half needed or risk the season fizzling out. Not that I'm complaining, great season all being said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The more I see the McGinn incident, the more it looks (by today's standards, which I don't like) like a penalty. Non review. No f**** given. VAR can do one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Var is show the ref the replay you want him to see, it wasn't a penalty but if that's manU the ref gets shown a different angle to manipulate the decision. Thats the problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 It all honesty Fulham were slightly the better side. Their goalkeeper hasnt had a save to make whearas Martinez has pulled off a couple of good saves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcginn stonewall pen, Watkins is too for me, as the defender had to go through Eatkins to get the touch. Contact is made with Watkins before contact is made with the ball. Thats called tackling through your man and is a free kick anywhere else on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players need to become absolute pricks on the pitch nasty bastards who will question each decision collectively. McGinn was a definite penalty. Even shit breath souness thought it was one.
