Aston Villa v AFC Bournemouth Match Thread

7th booking of the half.

[VillaTim]

We are taking one pass too many at times , need to be a bit more direct

[Hampshire Villa]

Dreadful ref , card mad. 34 yellow cards this season in 5 games plus 7 so far today in this his 6th game. A red is coming.

[Risso]

It's not been a remotely dirty game either.

Yep, you can see both sides are really cautious about making tackles now because he is far too eager to show cards.

[Holy Trinity]

Think I'm going to skip the second half.

This is painful to watch, the ref is shite and is desperate to send someone off you can already see it

[Villan82]

At the Emptyhad, or the Emirates or Anfield that goal gets given.

agree

Not particularly aimed at either of you but I always find comments like that a bit weird. It probably wouldn’t, there isn’t some grand conspiracy.

man citys was alot further out of play than that against us in a cup final If I remember right

Is that the day they scored from a corner against us that should have been a goal kick?

[JUAN PABLO]

cross the ball villa  ffs

7th booking of the half.

Someone will get sent off here, 7 yellows when there's been the odd cynical foul but nothing more than that.

We've played well once more, just missing the final ball and keep Bournemouth's speedy players quiet.

Not for the first time this season we probably win this from the bench which is a great luxury to have.

Watkins movement has been really poor. Not playing badly, even enough game. Rogers maybe a bit flat today too.

yeah my memory is going abit  but thats the game

[VillaTim]

Emery needs to sort this or I can see them nicking this. We need to be more direct . Those early misses could be costly . Barkley for onana and I think we need Bailey on

[Rigadon]

We are overplaying in the final 3rd a bit.  Great for 30 mins then scrappy after Bournemouth made the sub. Think we’ll see changes at half time. 

[ROBBO]

Never seen a ref so keen to book players. We need more pace on the wings.

[Tuscans]

Think we've played well the majority....their keepers made some good saves.
