He's in full control, not an outrageous forceful lunge, and adjusts to win the ball well. Obviously, it's a shame that Doherty is out. Imagine confusing ‘ref our knees just clashed’ with ‘ref, we’re intentionally going in hard to rough up the opposition with reckless abandon’. Actually just, imagine being a Spurs fan that uses the Y word. Edited April 11, 2022 by a m ole 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 This is a better video of it than the Tweet above. I thought he was a lucky boy tbh. I did post along the lines of it being similar to Mee's - I'd not watched that in quite some time, and after rewatching that this afternoon, Mee's was a bit worse as he's more wrapped around the leg, but they're not 100 miles apart, he ends up with his legs either side of Doherty's standing leg, and I think Cash is lucky to stay on the pitch, and Doherty is lucky it's not a more severe injury. The commentator says he sees nothing wrong with it, which is absolutely baffling IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m questioning is the body language shit suggesting we’ve gone out there to injure their players. “I know what that gesture means” lol Edited April 11, 2022 by a m ole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m questioning is the body language shit suggesting we’ve gone out there to injure their players. Yeah I think that's complete BS. Just a bit high/mistimed, I don't think Cash has gone in to do anything but win the ball. I can see why their fans are pissed - one of them has been a bit overly precious and put a compilation together for our viewing pleasure. Some of these are absolutely nothing, but I think the Mings one is very nasty as well, that's a potential leg-breaker - again he wins the ball, but he goes straight through the man, and scissors his leg between his. Can't recall if that was even a free kick on the day, but it could have been a career impacting injury on another day Then there's one after for Ings, which as far as I can tell if just video evidence of their players throwing themselves to the floor with barely any contact 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I loved actually seeing us go in hard and give the opposition something to think about. About time we stopped being a ‘nice side’. The crowd feed off it and create a better atmosphere, it made for an entertaining first half where we actually looked like a proper side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Apart from Ashley Young's cynical trip and Dougie trying to act hard, I think the rest are good, strong, honest attempts to win the ball and put pressure on. It's good to see compare to some of the passive matches we've been guilty of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they're honest (and successful) attempts to win the ball, but I can't call the Cash and Mings tackles "good", and I think we'd be screaming bloody murder if they were made on our players and not punished more severely. Watch those again and think about what happens if either of the opponents have their legs planted. They're dangerous tackles, even if they win the ball, and players shouldn't be getting away with them these days. I don't think either of them are malicious, but they're dangerous.

VillaChris Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thought Mings one was similar to Saka, got the ball but a bit forceful on the follow through. Cash was certainly lucky not to get a yellow. What's amusing is Regullion came straight on and Ings caught him late 10 seconds later and think he was only one to get booked. I imagine Gerrard was fed up of our passive first halves and told us to do something about it so players probably though they should all slide in aggressively for 50/50s to show him. Our general pressing and winning ball back in first half was really good, shame it didn't last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I'm genuinely at a loss as to why people think Cash should've been booked. Is it purely because Doherty got injured? He wins the ball and doesn't have both feet off the ground until Doherty hits him. The fact that Doherty is running means there's bound to be a collision, but it's just a good tackle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2022 It's not a great challenge to be honest but it's certainly not particularly dirty. I think if Doherty avoids injury there nobody would be batting an eyelid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 with the use of "lame" im guessing thats from an american poster who might not see it as the old days of proper tackling are sadly going there's nothing in that tackle, doherty's body shape is whats got him injured, he's half turning and not braced for the contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
