Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Post-Match

[PaulWinch again]

It felt like one of our home performances in the europa this season. Too slow and circumspect.

Yep agreed - I think Torres and Tielemans would have made a big difference.

Kamara, Pau and Tielemans needed back asap.

Genuinely pissed off at Kamara tonight for his stupidity in getting that red at Brentford

We need better than Cash and  Duran.
Duran or Archer? Not even close.

Although Archer when he was coming on for 10 minutes here or there. Or Archer starting instead of Watkins is probably the comparison really. Because if he was still here it would have been the latter, and when he was doing the 10 minute cameos, most people were stating he wasn't going to make it.

[Edvard Remberg]

Disappointed, yes,  surprised no.  This is what i grew up with Villa,  and expected a bad result.

he barely was given a chance though

Seen the Duran incident a few times now, I think it was a red.

Disappointing evening. The referee is a crook.

If he was then he would have sent him off.  He’s just incompetent.

[PaulWinch again]

It wasn’t a red.

[danno]

It wasn’t a red.

I think it’s orange, if the Sheffield United player hits the deck in a Bruno Fernandes fashion I think it’s nailed on.

[VillaTim]

It wasn’t a red.

seen them given. Silly boy

Any link to it? Not shown on the Sky highlights.

[PaulWinch again]

He’s trying to get free from the midfielder and happens to catch Robinson.

What’s the rule on phases of play? If Ramsey impeded the goalkeeper, it was very soft, but Sheff U had won the ball back and were trying to counter attack. They just lost the ball again. I don’t understand how far VAR goes back when it looks at goals.

[Ducksworthy]

Was there any point Anthony Taylor being on the pitch seeing as he relied on VAR to make every decision?

I’ve been wondering this - with every decision of importance seemingly going to VAR, what’s the point? Clear and obvious error etc but when they just use it for anything, it negates the need for an on-field ref at key moments beyond the odd yellow or free kick here and there. Could the referee give a pen and say they don’t want it to go to VAR? Is it automatic? Are they referring it every time out of caution? All a mess.

Anyway, as annoying as it all is at 90 I’d have taken a point so onward and upwards.

Yeah that’s the bit that confused me a bit, seemed like play had gone on a bit. But that’s probably just my lack of understanding, and it was ultimately a foul.
