The benefits should outweigh the risk, but the frequency and impact of making a mistake does make us vulnerable at present.The tag team fouling on Grealish did have an effect for the first half an hour and he must've been fouled about 10 times in total. Kieftenbeld's foul in the first minute would've been a yellow if it had occurred after about 15 mins. We overtook Norwich as the most fouled team in the division. Great derby game and a great comeback after an insipid 30 minutes. I would still prefer ElMo ar Rb and Hutton at Lb.

Now the dust has settled a few points from todayThe foul on Grealish within seconds why no yellowWe got lucky when they hit the post and for their first it was poor marking don’t try to detractAdomah was poor today but the foul on him merited a red and would have been in the prem. saying that Grealish’s lunge second half was no better Their second goal why. Slack all roundHutton worldie up their with Gary Thompsons Why did villa give them what looked to be a full allocation and try to disguise the same in the official attendance figure. But how quiet were theyMcGinn is needed. He is our Gareth Barry from years gone by
Oh, and for the 3rd year running, from the time of parking up, walking to the pub, walking to the ground, getting back to the car after the game, I never saw a single nose.
Aston Villa hero Jack Grealish dedicates Second City derby goal to late brotherAn emotional Jack Grealish admitted he had been unable to hold back the tears after dedicating his Second City Derby goal to his late brother.By Matt Maher | Aston Villa | Published: 1 hour agoThe lifelong Villa fan netted his first career goal against Blues to help Dean Smith’s men record a 4-2 victory over their rivals in a pulsating encounter.Grealish revealed he had tears in his eyes when he headed home Albert Adomah’s 39th-minute cross, later dedicating the strike to his brother Keelan, who passed away when the Villa star was just four years old.He said: “It’s a moment I dreamed of as a fan. To score, I got emotional because of my little brother who passed away. I dedicated the goal to him.“I had tears in my eyes. I was crying because I have all my family here. I have 20 people in the box and ten more tickets, about 30 people here. Since I have been a kid I have always wanted to play against Blues.”Grealish now hopes to succeed Gabriel Agbonlahor, who scored in five games against Blues, as Villa’s hometown derby hero.He continued: “I have always watched the derbies. You have the games against Wolves and West Brom but I don’t think any of them are as big as this one.“I remember playing on a Sunday, in the morning, then rushing back for the match. Gabby would score. That’s why he is my all-time hero. He scored in so many derbies, didn’t he? Often late on. I would love to do what he has done. To contribute with a goal today was unbelievable for me.”Grealish’s goal put Villa 2-1 ahead and came just two minutes after Jonathan Kodjia had cancelled out Lukas Jutkiewicz’s opener for the visitors.Tammy Abraham increased Villa’s advantage from the penalty spot early in the second half and though a Kristian Pedersen goal gave Blues hope, Alan Hutton extinguished it with a superb solo effort, which saw the Scot run 50 yards from his own half before slotting past Lee Camp. Grealish said: “It was unbelievable, wasn’t it? I was next to him. I think he ran past Craig Gardner and I thought Craig was going to give him a kick. He just carried on! It was a great goal and I know how much it means to Hutts. He is a great player and has been a great servant to this club. I am over the moon for him.”
I’m thinking this would fit todayhttps://youtu.be/GGU1P6lBW6QHope it’s what I think it is!Yesssss, the ride of the Valkyries!
After the game I had to go to Edgbaston and on the way back there was a Police blockade on the roundabout at Watery Lane/Garrison Lane. We waited a short while and then about 6 coaches, coming from Aston Uni side, were escorted past travelling towards Cov road flanked by what appeared to be dozens of Police outriders. WTF was all that about and who is paying for it?
