Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Match Thread

Fucking hell he’s big bloke!

1.92 m (6' 4" for Brexiters).

Or for those who were taught the imperial system at school.  Isn’t it Brexiteer?

Both Brexiter and Brexiteer are acceptable terms for gullible fucking idiot.

Alright potty mouth!

It's allowed on here, in moderation, so there is no need to call me names.

Don't understand how that isn't a penalty. I mean, I literally understand how. But it just seems strange to me that the rules have been written in such a way that this is where we've ended up.

[Toronto Villa]

Zaniolo stupid there

It was. But what happened to a talking to from the ref. Players do that shit all the time. Maybe not as aggressively. But when chopping challenges escapes yellow and reds, those or taking your shirt off are pathetic reasons to give a yellow.

Had his back to the ball as it came in so couldn’t really do much about it as it was fired in from pretty close range. I’d have been pissed off had it been given against us.

I know but the players all know you can't do it now, daft rule or not.

[Rigadon]

If we're really ever going to break the glass ceiling, we need a centre forward who can take most of the chances he gets and a good chunk of the half chances.  We have a cracking player in Watkins, but when he's on these runs, he isn't quite good enough for where we say we want to go. 

Same for Cash.

And I like both players a lot. 

We miss too many chances in periods of the game that we are on top.

Yeah it's never a pen. The problem is you'll see another one next weekend, think 'never a pen' and then it will be one.

[Smirker]

Archer would have scored at least one of the chances Watkins has missed.

I get it. Had he booted the ball into Aston Park that’s one thing. He was on the touchline.

This ref is a joke. How on earth he didn't book Dacoure when he scythes down Dougie (I think) from behind is beyond bad. He had a perfect view. Complete numpty.

It's not really Cash's job to score goals though. When he does it's an added bonus, but he's got as many goals as you'd hope for from a right back already this season. Watkins is absolutely miles off it at the moment, and is nowhere near good enough playing like this.

[CT Villan]

Watkins beyond garbage. Zaniolo doing well. Cash should have scored one of his chances.

This pedestrian passing at the back is mind-numbingly boring. Palace are there for the taking and we really should be in front.

The ref is poor.

I get all that, it's not an inconsiderable argument, but it's just...it's a shot at goal that he blocked with his hand, you know?

Yep. He’s playing to the level of a solid PL back up striker option at the moment.

Oh yeah agree.  With Cash it's more the fact he isn't quite good enough going forward in this system.
