The goal from the corner - why was 5 foot 10 inches McGinn marking their centre half?

Not in the slightest, Mings had his arms up before Lacazette got off the ground, the little twat jumped into his arm and then threw himself over like he'd been snipered. Bought the penalty as well, the one thing I agree with Smith on from the post match was that the penalty was soft and the whistle should've gone as soon as it was saved (given it was awarded after the ref had blown for halftime). going in 1-0 down would've massively flattered us but it was a very cheap goal. All of the schoolboy football magazines, in any quiz about the rules, mention the thing about penalties being taken after the half / full time whistle has blown so that is a schoolboy error by the referee. But I hadn’t thought about it.

The absolute worst thing is we've got to wait an age before we can see the team play again.I, just like the Villa ( because the stats don't lie) hate Friday night football with a passion.
The goal from the corner - why was 5 foot 10 inches McGinn marking their centre half?For me too many of our players know that however badly they play they will never be dropped - Mings, being a prime exampleWe need to win next week or their will be massive pressure on The board to make a decision on smith’s future
What’s really worrying is that each of the defeats has happened in a different way, featuring three teams who beat us tactically by three different methods. I wonder if we’ll ever run out of ways to skin a Villa.
