This result was probably on the cards as soon as we started talking about an easier run of fixtures... The home form is worrying and it needs to be fixed asap. If we have any aspirations to be challenging for European places, Villa Park needs to be a place where most away sides expect a defeat and feel relieved if they come away with a narrow defeat/point.

Stone wall penalty for anyone else.Not a minority of one. I also can see why it wasn’t given. Fucking annoying though.

Trez could have stayed on his feet and tried to play the ball, he was looking for the penalty, he dived, the touch on his leg did not impede Trez from playing the ball.Yes we have seen them given for a lot less but I do not think it was a penalty.
I thought the pen looked iffy and could be argued either way.
Referee looked at one angle and saw the defender touch the ball. Anything after that like the kick to the shin was judged irrelevant.
Reasonable going forward although not enough movement again. The defence is a car crash waiting to happen. Was Oliver the ref who didn't give the ghost goal?

I've seen plenty of yellow and red cards given this season where the player's got a touch on the ball but followed through to foul the opponent. The analysis always says getting touch on the ball is irrelevant if you follow through and foul the player.
