Think SJMs sending off was more to do with his frustration with his teammates more the anything else, he was trying to fly the flag, at least you could see the fight in him which was sadly lacking with many of his team.

That’s how I saw it too. We needed to show we had some fight in us but when most of the team decide to put on their worst individual performances collectively of the season that fight is pointless.

Bad day at the office is what it was and coupled with Spurs being very good it was only going one way.

Any chance we appeal McGinns red?
It was rash but was hardly a dangerous tackle. Compare that to Lewis Dunks tackle yesterday for example

No chance of it being overturned. It is really high profile and attracting loads of nonsense comments from both fans and 'experts'.

There was one earlier in the season where a red card was given because VAR called it back, showed the ref AND both VAR and Ref on the pitch decided it was a red card. Appeal overturned it. But at least with that one he was still trying to get the ball, McGinn was no where near anything but the man.

This is truly pathetic from Zaniolo and Moreno. Both need an absolute rocket up them at Emery's video debrief today. Unacceptable.

That's piss poor from both of them.

Yeah, I can't see it being overturned either.  Don't know how Johnson got away with pushing McGinn to the floor though.  Should have been booked for that.

Not a great look at all however, if we are to have things to moan about, I'm glad it all came in one game.  A big game admittedly, but only one game.  We lost 3 points but we can move on. Thursday is a bigger test for it.

I saw a Villa player (forget which one) give Bailey an absolute rocket in the first twenty minutes. His performance from the kick off was disgraceful. The first half we had many more half chances than them but Watkins had a bad day especially after being kicked every time he got near the ball.

I think yesterday was collective responsibility. No-one (maybe other than Mcginn until the card) played well, especially second half. Everyone was off their game and it showed. As for the Twitter clip, we've been doing that to teams mostly all season. Yesterday was our turn to be on the end of it. Now let's see how we bounce back.

There's playing badly, which happens, and then there's giving up and not trying, which shouldn't under any circumstances. I'd happily never see Zaniolo in a squad for us again. Just pay whoever what we owe them, and tell him to get on the next plane. Moreno can have a few games on the bench to think about what he's done. Or rather, didn't do.

The problem was I think one of positioning. Of ourselves as a club, I mean, not positions of players on the pitch. Soaking up pressure at home to a close rival may work but it's just not a good look. The psychology is that we should as the home team be taking the game to the opposition, be on the front foot, be calling the tune and dictating the pace. Eventually the psychological need to do this became irresistible and they hit us on the breaks

The Media don't take us seriously as a top 5 side and yesterday will only have reinforced that . We are probably better flying below the radar anyway .

Agreed. You fuck up and the oppo get past you. You don't then stand waving your hands in the air at it. You chase and run after the mess you've made to see if you can rectify the problem
