tinker Posted December 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2022 9 minutes ago, Lichfield Dean said: Almost reminded me of Jack, who I assume Messi has based his game off. Funny as this may seem, we have seen similar from Jack at his height of form. Passes that normal players can only see on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Countless times the Dutch have had runners on the shoulder but decline, to pass it sideways and backwards. Everything to feet. Weird tactics and tempo, especially given they are losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 If England should fail tomorrow, and, let's be honest, the French is our first proper test, however, without England, there's still Emi, and I couldn't think of a nicer chap to win a World cup winners medal. Also the honour of Villa having a goalkeeper of such prestige. I do hope all this media talk of him and Emery having a tense relationship is just a load of bollocks. It's been a long time since we've had a goalkeeper who we actually feel so secure about and with the bonus of that infectious personality. Of all our players, he's the one who I would be gutted most about were he to leave. Hopefully he becomes the legend we all hope for, up there with Jimmy, Nigel, Burridge and Bozzie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same point though, it’s bad enough that nobody tries to tackle Messi. The refs won’t book him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see he wants to send someone from the bench off before the end of the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Shocking pitch. And that is never a free kick. Van Dijk held him for less than a second, Messi went down as if he'd been shot. Terrible decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so at first, too, but on the replay Virgil had one hand on him then pushed with the second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
