C'mon boys!

 I'm massively split in this, part of me thinks we'll win but also part of me thinks we're a very streaky team and will be 3 down after 20 minutes.

I would’ve played Elmo for Cash and played an extra defensive midfielder.  But that’s just me.

It will be tough tonight, but I am just hoping that the decision making defensively is a lot better than last week and if it is I think we have goals in us against this Arsenal team. Head saying loss in a high scoring game, but a bit more discipline and I think we will nick it.

I don't either.  Hourihane must feel hard done by.  Had played well in our first two Premier League games that we won without conceding a goal, then loses his place, and doesn't get a look in despite Barkley being absolutely rotten in the last two games.

Post by: Smithy on November 08, 2020, 07:32:04 PM
Five minutes to disallow that goal is ridiculous.  I understand VAR officials taking time for something that is a matter of fact, offside, a ball over the line etc.  But "interfering" is a judgement call, and if it's taking you that long to decide whether it is or isn't, then it's not OBVIOUSLY interfering and the goal should stand. 
Title: Re: Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Lastfootstamper on November 08, 2020, 07:32:32 PM
You know, if it takes over 4 minutes to decide if it's not a goal, it should probably be given

It's not all that long ago that that would've been instantly ruled out for exactly the reason it was anyway. The VAR was trying to award the goal there, not chalk it off. In the end, giving it would've meant ignoring a big aspect of the law.
Title: Re: Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: PaulWinch again on November 08, 2020, 07:33:32 PM
The thing with VAR is, and this isn’t just Villa, they look like they’ve underpinned the system with the aim of disallowing goals rather than looking to validate the original decision. That’s why you get decisions like today’s or the Leeds disallowed goal yesterday.
Title: Re: Arsenal v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: luke:lamf on November 08, 2020, 07:35:39 PM
Two observations:

Disallowed goal aside, McGinn is playing abysmally.

With his dyed hair and black kit, Douglas Luiz looks like a honey badger.

But they can't review a goal, look at it with all their gizmos and whatnot, judge it offside, and then go 'fuck it, let's just give it, but make a note of what we did in case we have to do it next week'. Only way to stop it is to take my preferred option and bin it all off.

The problem with VAR is it really is a goal prevention system. It checks every technical specification to see if a goal should stand. Technically that was offside as Barkley is in the line of sight of the goalie. However, watch his reaction when the ball goes in. He doesn't appeal at all. He can see McGinn and he has no chance with the strike & he knows it. It is a farce and it is ruining the game week after week.

Trez works hard and ‘gets there’.
The problem is, when he ‘gets there’ he invariably misses what he got there for.
Mistimed challenge, missed tackle, stretches that don’t quite  reach.

It’s certainly a case of quantity over quality with him.

The annoying thing is that although the rules say that a goal should be disallowed if a player is offside in the keeper's line of sight, you see them given all the time. But of course, ours is different.

We match up so well v Arsenal.

Stop the crosses for Pierre Emerick Bent and they offer very little else attacking wise.

Should've been 6 points v them last season but for criminal game management in last 15 minutes. This team is different.

This season in general has been completely unpredictable spectacle. Very entertaining from a neutral perspective. Who'd have thought of these four games we'd hammer Liverpool and Arsenal, and lose at home to Leeds and Southampton (conceding 7). It's been similar with loads of results for everyone this season. So I'd honestly be loathe to try and predict any game. Everything points to us winning our next one, but fuck knows. Bizarre, but great. I'm not sure how much form can help anyone at the moment.

Oh, and brilliant display today.

Huge result for Aston Villa - totally deserving of the victory. 3-0 it was comfortable, it could've been more I was really impressed with their performance. Ollie Watkins, Jack Grealish, Ross Barkley were all excellent but the whole team were superb.
