Popular Post Annoyman Posted February 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Let's be real Targett 100% did a cringey, shithouse-y dive over nothing and was also lucky to not get a 2nd yellow late on, it's just that Llorente had already done an even more comically exaggerated shithouse-y performance in the first half, and Klich had already committed two fouls (the latter preventing a break on halfway) while on a yellow before Targett did. What's the ref meant to do Nobody exactly comes out of it looking like the model of sporting integrity Furthermore, I can all but guarantee the only reason those rough Villa centre backs went to such efforts to stop Bamford from playing was because he happened to have been to private school, it's disgraceful and nobody's ever even remotely interested in hearing out my proposal to have all non-Bamford players get down on both knees at the start of a match in protest at this kind of anti-elite prejudice Edited February 27, 2021 by Annoyman 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 We beat them, are four points ahead of them, and have two games in hand, that's what matters, not which team are the worst divers, focusing on that just plays into their hands because it turns attention away from the fact that we've been the better team than them this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It didn't surprise me at all that we beat them, they were being way overrated prior to the game, they were below us in the tabe, their recent form wasn''t much better than ours, and having beat Southampton it almost felt predictable that they'd then go and lose to us, as having a good win and then losing the next game seems to be a very common theme for them, by the same token I wouldn't be at all surprised if they went and beat West Ham in their next game.

Rino8 Posted February 27, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2021 Thought all our injuries in midfield showed today, it would have been a bit better without the early goal but we don't have the quality with Rodrigo and Phillips out to break teams down. Their were times when one side of the pitch would get really over crowded and Struijk just doesn't have it in him to pass like Phillips does so we'd try intricate through balls constantly and it never really worked. Plus Tyler Roberts is really shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Roberts was pretty dreadful i thought looked out of his depth, always thought he was a winger/striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Should he fined for the state of that pitch. Even in the Champiomship with a 15 year old dead pitch and not a pot to piss in it was never that bad.

It's the rolling around and feigning injury in order to get the opposition booked/sent off that leaves a bad taste. Bamford, Alioski (even if Pepe probably should have gone), Llorente and Hernandez have all done this in very recent memory - purely to try and force cards. It's grim. In fact, for Bamford (x2 if you include the penalty dive), Llorente and Hernandez, that's 4 examples in the last 3 games we've played against them. As you say, it points to a much bigger cultural issue at the club. I don't think it's necessarily being coached in - I genuinely think Bielsa is pretty 'honest' - but it's clearly prevalent amongst the players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dallas one for me was more than going down to win a free kick too. Elmo has gone in slightly aggressively so Dallas has gone down as if he’s seriously injured and stayed down to try and get Elmo booked or sent off. It was jarring in this game because Ramsey in particular when he got kicked just bounced back up to his feet and got on with the game. Leeds fans will call out Grealish for diving but 99 times out of 100 he is fouled, goes down, gets the free kick and carries on with the game. As you say it’s the attempts to get players booked or sent off that are frustrating rather than the going down to ensure you get the fouls.

HongKongVillan Posted February 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2021 I do like how they play although it doesn't help when the media keeps wanking over Leeds and Bielsa( a bit like the love in for Newcastle back in the late 90s but really just an entertaining team with not much substance) What i am not getting is their fans opinion on diving and us being a bunch of cheats. Have I been watching a different Villa than they have or do they not watch their own team with Bamford playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
