Game management. Emi wastes time / disrupts opposition momentum and we applaud it, when Zaniolo does it you're having a go just because he looks daft doing it. He's taking one for the team. At least half of these PGMOL refs are **** corrupt so I am not about to lay into one of our players for taking advantage of the rules and the ref's obligation to stop play.

**** West Ham anyway.

Emi does game management - faking a head injury is deplorable IMO.

Think of the endless antics from Salah and Carragher buries his head in the sand 🤣

Yeah, was going to say Salha would have still be on the floor after that..

Dunno why people getting so aggy about Zaniolo there - it's actually quite clever. The rule is there to be taken advantage of tbh and we'd be silly not to use it when other teams are. But appreciate it is not very sporting.

It’s cheating

Kind of mentality that leads to a race to the bottom though isn't it. Not sure there's any solving that problem though when people want to win at all costs.

Zaniolo did feel impact on his head and is right to get it looked it. His actual game managed was booting the ball into the stands so we had more time to organise for the corner.

As if people haven't been doing it for years, Villa players and opposition alike. It's only under the spotlight now because of HIAs. People hold their heads, faces, etc for nothing and have done as long as football's been played, get a thicker skin.

I'm not saying people have or haven't done it.

It's a shit move when other players do it and it's a shit move when ours do.  Sadly, fans are blinkered and apparently Zaniolo was "elbowed" :D
