Regards the VAR goal .... was the refs screen actually working ? Looked like it wasnt.

I am seriously suggesting that because of the superb build up, what was technically an  own goal should be included as a contender for Goal of the Month.

We need to be wary of the Arsenal backlash.

Ceballos on for Partey for them.

Apparently we haven't had a shot on goal according to the BBC! What do they think the disallowed goal was, if it wasn't on target?

Disallowed.

Was still on target

May aswell count shots in the warm up then.

I’m finding the commentary on the stream I’m watching very disparaging towards us.
We are very much the plucky underdogs and at one stage, out of nowhere,Ian Darke said, of course, Villa won their first 4 games and no one in the history of the premier league has ever been relegated after a start like that.
Why the fuck would anyone spout shit like that ?

His first comment after we kicked off was how leaky our defence is .

I like what trez does to help Cash in defence.

Trez has annoyed me by not picking up Tierney loads of time.

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.

Was thinking that also. Some minutes later the camera was focusing on a working monitor and thereafter the refree. decision possibly made without the refree looking at it

Sorry, I really thought it should count

That’ll be a change in system - we need to shut him down.

Party for Villa so far.

Trez shot

Trez shot

He'll run it off.

Exactly how I seen it .
He moved away from the monitor at one point to talk in his mike.
