We were the better team, but at 3-2 they have a great chance and then who knows. Same last week at Fulham, we were clearly the better team but they have a good chance chance to equalise at the end etc. But there was jeopardy in both games, and we managed to get the job done. It wasn’t a criticism of the team - I’m quite happy if we continue to be the better team in games and get 3 points, even if it is closer than we would like.

Pretty sure that their big chance would have been ruled out if they had scored as it looked offside to me - the reply was pretty quick so it's not certain but it looked like he was most of his upper body offside (unless there was a trailing leg somewhere along our back-line).

Going to be plenty of these type of games in league and cup in the run in. We're playing teams fighting to stay up or get into europe in majority of our matches so can't just be expecting to stroll to 3 or 4 nil wins all the time. Today was great as we've won, Man. United loss has pretty much killed all their momentum and we've put pressure on Spurs now to win at VP to try to keep up with us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elanga was on, a big let off as our backline was very uncertain when to step up at those moments after losing Pau. Cash didn't step up in time and played Gibbs White on his goal. At least we have a week to drill them at Bodymoor if Chambers is starting at Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pau looked fairly relaxed and comfortable on the bench rather than a player who was worried that they might be out for a few weeks (but that might just be wishful thinking).

But this is villa - told a player is out for 2 weeks, which turns to 4, then 6 and so on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galway Lion Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Sky spend all of one minute talking about Villa after rattling on for ages about Utd. Refs and VAR are working overtime to find ways to get Utd into the CL places but I just don’t think they’re good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 We will win some more and lose some more. But people need to stop bedwetting everything we lose a football game acting like it's season ending. Newcastle and Man Utd games was never season defining games. So many more points left to play for 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, if we draw with spurs, I can't see them getting 70 points? They play Newcastle away, City and Arsenal in their last 3 games. They might only get 12 points from the rest, plus one for a draw with us would leave them on 63 points I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
