Quote from: RamboandBruno on September 16, 2023, 06:19:58 PMWoosh, just coming down from that mad adrenaline rush. Frustration to elation and all that. Just some minor observations, Dougie was class all game, Kamara played well too but right call to take him off as no need for a 6 with their tactics of sitting deep. Dougs composure for the penalty!! McGinn struggled. Cash struggled in the more advanced position, he just couldn’t beat their full back, who played well. Digne slowed the game down too much and it will be good to get Moreno back in. I don’t understand the criticism of Torres by a couple of posters. He got caught for pace for their goal, but someone else (can’t remember who) had lost it to put him in a difficult position. Even then Emi gets their first if he hadn’t slipped. Torres distribution was first class and his defending was generally good. Konsa for me, along with Dougie, MoM, just superb all game. Up front Diaby did well, Watkins has great movement and scores if he’s not brought down, lovely chip that was unfortunate not to go in. He’s low on confidence and once he gets one, he will go on a run. Great finish by Duran, complete wild card. Zaniolo did well if a little greedy sometimes, Bailey did really well when he came on. Tielemans struggled at first, but was instrumental in the 2nd and 3rd with great through balls. Someone else pointed out the pre Emery Villa lose that 0-1 or 0-2, but Emery and the players find a way. Finally, Eze is a lovely player for them. Bloody hell I feel dizzy after reading that!

I love whingeing like a toddler on these threads and reading others doing likewise. But we have to watch out for the speccy prefect types.

But we have to watch out for the speccy prefect types.I know, those people who get in a sulk because someone has posted about a goal before they've seen it are a massive problem.
Blimey, there's some bickering & point scoring going on today!!
