The look Martinez gave to Chambers.

Can only assume he gave a big shout for it given there were no forwards near Chambers?

1st rule of defending in La Liga, pull the opponent's shirt, doesn't look as bad as hacking them down but just as effective.

Given how poorly made they are I'm surprised Coutinho's is in 1 piece.

Chambers did well to beat two Villa players to head that in.

Sharpest I’ve seen Coutinho in a Villa shirt
Shop window form

I hope they can't get a decent stream in Qatar and aren't seeing any of this.

Desperate for Archer to do something, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening for him.

Ref is basically making it up as he goes.

No, he’s been a bit underwhelming tbh.

He likes pointing to his shirt and saying 'I' 'me'.

Yup. Needs to improve fast if he wants to be part of this squad.

Really impressed with Coutinho, Philogene and Tielemans when they came on.

Initally, I thought it had been raining, as all our shirts were soaked.

But then I remembered, the rain, in Spain, falls mostly on the plain
