That bench is such a thing of beauty :-)
-
That starting line up is arguably the best at the moment. I know people don't rate him but I think we miss Cash when he's not at RB.

Statistically we don't
-
Good line up
-
Win please.
-
Good Bailey is on the bench
-
We need to win today. Bench looks good. Team looks good. Let’s go Villa. Hope there’s less of a hangover from CL today. Somehow I think there will be. It’s great having players coming back.
Up the Villa
-
That bench is such a thing of beauty :-)
Without doubt the best I've seen in all my years..
-
FTF!!!
-
That’s the spirit!
-
Yay, Olsen's back...🙃
-
Good to see Cash back and Konsa at CB, we are so much better set up like that.
*runs away*
-
A trickle would be appreciated if anyone can oblige please.
-
rivers available
-
Oh Morgan
-
Hit me up too please!
-
Bad miss
-
6mins in and we could easily have a couple already.
Rogers needs to hit the target with his chance.
-
2 huge misses already
-
sent
-
Would anyone be kind enough to send me a nice flow of water please
-
We really really need to cut out these bad misses. It’s happened a fair bit this season.
-
bit behind , suprised watkins didnt go for goal earlier and yes Rogers has to hit the target there
-
Rico has just scored for Port Vale
-
does anyone have a small river please
-
We look class today.
-
We have missed some chances but we're also playing really well.
-
Thats beautiful play from Morgan
-
Both central midfielders on yellow tiles already
-
got to be clinical here
-
Is Ramsey slower than he used to be?
-
I thought Tielemans might get a rest today. He looks a bit knackered, although it's not affecting his play so far.
-
Need to capitalise while we’re on top.
-
Both central midfielders on yellow tiles already
Tielemans is unlucky, it was a foul but booking him for it was really harsh.
-
Someone is going to get sent off in this game
-
Is Ramsey slower than he used to be?
Don’t think so, he’s an average midfielder pace.
-
Both central midfielders on yellow tiles already
Tielemans is unlucky, it was a foul but booking him for it was really harsh.
Agreed, but eggshells now.
-
So close!
-
Someone is going to get sent off in this game
4 yellows for 6 fouls is just incompetent from the ref.
-
Oh thats unlucky...good move
-
Lovely free kick routine, that.
-
Someone is going to get sent off in this game
4 yellows for 6 fouls is just incompetent from the ref.
He’s ref’d 5 PL games this season with 3 red cards. He’s issued 4 already. Rubbish refereeing
-
1-0 Villa.
-
YESSSSSSSSSSS SJM!!!!
-
Ball looks like it went out of play though.
-
Fuck ball might have been out of play.
-
Going to VAR.
-
JJ poor there
goaaallllllllllllllllll
-
Was it the whole ball though?
-
Yessss
-
No goal.
-
That’s a goal in my opinion because it was given on the field decision. It’s not absolutely clear
-
Balls not given
-
a few mill over
-
Fuck off VAR
-
cant see no green
-
TBF that is clearly out of play.
-
oh well
-
That’s a goal in my opinion because it was given on the field decision. It’s not absolutely clear
I think I agree, that's so close that you should go with the on field decision.
-
Oh fuck off. There no clear daylight between ball and line.
-
Playing well, disallowed goal, this has sucker punch written all over it.
-
It looks like the inch of the middle of the ball was over the line. I think its the wrong decisions based on the fact it wasnt given out on field
-
Oh fuck off. There no clear daylight between ball and line.
man city get that
-
Great save Emi
-
Playing well, disallowed goal, this has sucker punch written all over it.
Yep. I might have a bet on it.
-
Have to score, we are far the better team
-
Save Emi, there’s the danger.
-
The problem with that decision for the goal is that they don't have the technology to make a definitive decision.
-
Struggling to see how they've disallowed that. Couldn't see any green between the ball and the line, and even looked like the white line had a slight curve to it meaning the ball was not completely over.
-
Bournemouth on a top here the last few minutes
-
I think we'd think it was out if it was against us.
-
We need to be clinical.
We should be 2 or 3 up here and games like this that we fail to take 3 point in are what stop teams like us winning trophies. Step it up and punish them.
-
At the Emptyhad, or the Emirates or Anfield that goal gets given.
-
The problem with that decision for the goal is that they don't have the technology to make a definitive decision.
I bet if you had a camera directly overhead, the ball would be partially overhanging the line.
-
The problem with that decision for the goal is that they don't have the technology to make a definitive decision.
yep camera has to be above really
-
Nah, there was the tiniest sliver of daylight. If that camera is plum on the line then I haven't got an issue with that decision.
-
That disallowed goal has totally knocked us out of our stride.
-
We are over complicating this , onana and Rogers totally off it also
-
Fuck, Konsa close. Keeper is having a great game
-
Ramsey booked now too
-
card fcuking happy this ref
-
At the Emptyhad, or the Emirates or Anfield that goal gets given.
agree
-
Barkley on at half time is almost certain at the moment. We'll see duran before 60 today too with rambo coming off I think
-
Nice little move came to nothing unfortunately
-
At the Emptyhad, or the Emirates or Anfield that goal gets given.
agree
Not particularly aimed at either of you but I always find comments like that a bit weird. It probably wouldn’t, there isn’t some grand conspiracy.
-
The Arsenal fans tho k there is a conspiracy against them
-
At the Emptyhad, or the Emirates or Anfield that goal gets given.
agree

man citys was alot further out of play than that against us in a cup final If I remember right
-
7th booking of the half.
-
We are taking one pass too many at times , need to be a bit more direct
-
Dreadful ref , card mad. 34 yellow cards this season in 5 games plus 7 so far today in this his 6th game. A red is coming.
-
It's not been a remotely dirty game either.
-

Yep, you can see both sides are really cautious about making tackles now because he is far too eager to show cards.
-
Think I'm going to skip the second half.
This is painful to watch, the ref is shite and is desperate to send someone off you can already see it
-

Is that the day they scored from a corner against us that should have been a goal kick?
-
cross the ball villa ffs
-
7th booking of the half.
Someone will get sent off here, 7 yellows when there's been the odd cynical foul but nothing more than that.
We've played well once more, just missing the final ball and keep Bournemouth's speedy players quiet.
Not for the first time this season we probably win this from the bench which is a great luxury to have.
-
Watkins movement has been really poor. Not playing badly, even enough game. Rogers maybe a bit flat today too.
-

yeah my memory is going abit but thats the game
-
Emery needs to sort this or I can see them nicking this. We need to be more direct . Those early misses could be costly . Barkley for onana and I think we need Bailey on
-
We are overplaying in the final 3rd a bit. Great for 30 mins then scrappy after Bournemouth made the sub. Think we’ll see changes at half time.
-
Never seen a ref so keen to book players. We need more pace on the wings.
-
Think we've played well the majority....their keepers made some good saves.
-
Emery needs to sort this or I can see them nicking this. We need to be more direct . Those early misses could be costly . Barkley for onana and I think we need Bailey on
We’ve had most of the good chances, overall better possession stats. We should be leading. So why the drama about Emery needs to sort it out. We haven’t been shit at all.
-
well played some great footy at times but the final ball was poor a few times and overplayed at times but have cut through their midfield really well . Bournemth have looked dangerous at times .
-
I don't think there is that much to sort, I think we have played quite well, just haven't quite had the finish.
-
Emery needs to sort this or I can see them nicking this. We need to be more direct . Those early misses could be costly . Barkley for onana and I think we need Bailey on
Sort what out, we've played very well and being frustrated by a decent team who are defending very well
-
Bournemouth have come into it after a good start. I think there’s danger for us here.
-
We are taking one pass too many at times , need to be a bit more direct
These aren't remotely related issues.
Thought for the first half hour we mostly murdered them, then got our obligatory ballhair VAR-up and lost our focus a bit. Refresh, restart, reboot, let's go.
-

Sort this out is a big strong, Travers made two excellent saves and we've opened them up many other times.
What is missing from us is the consistent final ball. Ramsey makes lovely runs from the left but why for the disallowed goal is he firing the ball across the box at 100mph? Less pace and it's a tap in for Ollie so that's the area where we're still short on the title chasers.
-
Cash is having a torrid time keeping up.
-
Barkley for Onana at half time would be my guess.
-
onanas only half again
-
Weve been far the better team and should have had a couple. We need to be more clinical - but the performance has been great so far and think wityh our bench we should have enough.
-
Makes sense with Onana on a yellow. Thought he played well first half.
-
Onana must have set the record already for being subbed at half time.
-
How did that first half warrant 7 yellows?
-
JJ sort your final ball out
-
How did that first half warrant 7 yellows?
I reckon you can justify 3 of them, the rest were shit reffing.
-
Amusing the Holte shouting "shoot" when Cash had the ball. Have they never seen him play before?
-
Close again by Ross
-
Got to be taking these chances
-
SJM booked.
-
Rogers not on it today , fatigue maybe
-
Dhuran time
-
Bring Leon on.
-
This ref can get in the fucking bin, it's possible for people to commit fouls that aren't fucking bookings.
-
Come on Villa.
-
Digne booked.
-
some great football at times . Duran on
-
Amazed if someone doesn’t get sent off here.
-
What is wrong with the referee? We are never dirty and this is not a dirty game
-
Referee is a disgrace
-
How many reds has this twat dished out this season?
-
How many reds has this twat dished out this season?
3 in 5 games
-
That few!!
-
Average 7 yellows per game
-
then the ref dont book for that foul on duran
-
The c**t has made the game all about himself by having no idea what he's doing. Easily the worst ref performance we've had all season, completely ruining the game.
-
This fucking goalkeeper.
-
We all know how this ends.
-
It's frustrating. These are tough nut to crack, and this bloody reserve keeper of theirs seems to be having one of those games
-
We all know how this ends.
It does smell like Sheff Utd at home last year
-
SJM gone a bit flat
-
SJM, Digne off for Bailey and Maatsen
-
What a miss Duran.
-
Not our day is it?
-
Their keeper has played a blinder.
And Duran so close to scoring. Should have bagged that.
-
We’re not scoring here.
-
That was the chance
-
Duran, that was the chance
-
James Bree has come on for Southampton. Maybe it’s a Red Leicester day for him.
-
Nah, it aint gonna happen today.
-
Keep the faith
-
So frustrating, we could easily have 3-4 here and it wouldn't flatter us. We've just got to keep playing because we'll get a couple more chances still.
-
Yeah lacked a bit of composer. need to use the flanks more to congested in the middle
-
Get in !
-
Yesssss, Barkley.
-
YESSSSSSSSSSS ross!!!!!
-
Barkers boooooiiiiiiiii
-
Super Ross!
-
BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
-
1-0 Ross
-
Like I said, keep the faith.
-
Get in.
-
Yes indeedy
-
Scorchi-fucking-ooooooooooooooo!
-
Yes indeedy
He plays for Leicester.
-
Link to the goal most welcome please.
-
"Villa playing the Barkley card" - Chris Sutton. :)
-
Yep, it was coming, we were making enough that we just had to be patient.
-
Beuatifully worked goal.
-
Let’s keep a clean sheet Villa!!
-
A thanks god for that
-
Lovely.
-
Ross! Smart header from Bailey too
-
We’re not scoring here.
You did it again.
-
Chipped over the goalie with his shin 🤣🤣
-

Yep, people might say the finish was a bit lucky/scrappy but the build up was excellent.
-
Thanks for the goal vid.

Who’s Rooose Barkley Rooose Barkley.
-
Cash gives another pen away.
-
Fuck me I thought he’d give another penalty away
-
Is it a pen?
-
shitting when cash went for that tackle then
-
Look at our bench options when we have a fully fit squad - a sight to behold. Bailey, Maatsen, Duran, Barkley, Carlos etc....
-
Keown and Sutton think not, say it's a dive.
-
Kamara!!!
-
Fuck me, ref got one right for a change!
-
Is it a pen?
No clear dive and booked for it.
-
Looked like a pen to me!
-
Link to the goal most welcome please.

Who’s Rooose Barkley Rooose Barkley.
That'll do. Got in there
-
Is it a pen?
No clear dive and booked for it.
Quite possibly the only booking that really should have occurred!
-
Cash actually touched the ball.
-
Looked like a pen to me!
If the ref sees this comment they’ll go to VAR.
-
Fuck me, ref got one right for a change!
To be fair he's got the decisions correct all game, he's just fucked them up by being far too eager to add a booking on top.
-
It was "simulation", Cash sort of pulled out, but he shouldn't be going to ground in the first place, the div.
-
Alfred Molina has done a decent job with this Bournemouth team
-
Penalty for them?
-
Fuck sake. That might be a pen to them
-
Thankfully that’s the right decision and no handball
-
VAR clears it.
-
Fcuking hell Villa.
-
Not given but FFS Villa, get a second goal.
-
Oof got away with that
-
blimey VAR said NO
-
How in the world could that ever be a penalty.
-
Blimey, lucky with that one
-
VAR said ‘complete accident’!
-
Two penalty decisions gone our way. Getting away with it here
-
Bailey's arm wasn't out or anything and it was clearly unintentional. It'd be ridiculous to give a pen for that.
-
We didn't get away with anything, if it had been given that would've been one of the most ridiculous penalties I've ever seen.
-
Abigail Davies is quite lovely.
-
Crowd is terrible today
-
Two penalty decisions gone our way. Getting away with it here
The big teams get all the breaks.
-
Making hard work of this.
-
Abigail Davies is quite lovely.
As is Katie Shanahan.
-
Agreed.
-
How long left?
-
Abigail Davies is quite lovely.
As is Katie Shanahan.
Agree on both
-
Five minutes of six.
-
6 bloody mins
-
11 bookings now, probably 3-4 with a better ref.
-
2 minutes of 6 gone.
-
6 bloody mins
Where the hell has that come from?
-
Substitutions.
-
VAR said ‘complete accident’!
It was but I've seen them given.
-
Superb work from Kamara there to win the ball. It's good to have him back.
-
That’s 12 fucking yellow cards in this game
-
Concentrate.
-
Wolves 2-2 from 2-0 down.
-
Cash can be a liability with those stupid fouls
-
Are we going to be on an FA charge for this yellow card fest?
-
Make that 13 yellows. Record is 14
-
Bollocks
-
fuck
-
Fcuk sake!
-
1-1 fuck sake
-
6th minute of injury time.
-
That’s 12 fucking yellow cards in this game
13. Truly pathetic. I hope we complain because he's been pathetic and these will tot up and cost both of us bands later in the season.
-
Absolutely shit Villa
-
That’s horrific defending
-
ffs
-
Fuck off
-
FUCK OFF.
-
Two points tossed away.
-
30 seconds
they just went to pot last ten mins
-
Still up into 3rd. Could’ve been so much better.
-
Bugger.
-
Massively infuriating
-
where was konsa
-
Fucking useless. Our defending of set pieces is atrocious.
-
Load of shit and deserved that. All style and no substance
-
Were too obsessed with just fouling in injury time instead of actually keeping the ball and running down the clock that way.
Bad dropping of two points there.
-
Terrible defending again, two points just thrown away.
-
Did cash give the free kick away?
-
Unai will be livid.
Konsa Pau and Duran all asking questions as yo was/wasn't marking who.
Piss poor and unprofessional.
-
Did cash give the free kick away?
Naturally.
-
Did cash give the free kick away?
Barkley I think
-
Dismal. MacPhee might be good at getting some well put together free kicks for us, but defending them is another matter entirely. Fucking sickener that.
-
My apologies to Cash!
-
Did cash give the free kick away?
Barkley, although they were all at it. Fucks sake
-
No. Barkley
-
Barkley - hero and villain?
-
Tbh they deserved a pen for Bailey's handball.
-
fucking annoying. How we didnt get the points from that. Ipswich, and today are really frustrating 4 points lost due to bad game management
-
Barkley - hero and villain?
Duran needs looking at too totally lost his man
-
In Unai's first two seasons we were unbelievably clinical in front of goal. We have been much more wasteful this season.
-
fucking annoying. How we didnt get the points from that. Ipswich, and today are really frustrating 4 points lost due to bad game management
Ipswich deserved a draw - sounds like Cherries MOTM was the keeper
