Aston Villa v Fulham Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

We badly need to win this.

Stonewall pen says both pundits

I thought King left his foot trailing, looking for it personally. If he wanted to skip Martinez, he would have done.

No issue with the first penalty claim, he showed no interest in getting back on the ball when he dinked it past Martinez, more interested in the penalty than the ball.  The Cash one, physically stops the ball from going towards goal and whilst accidental, I think we got away with that one.

[Goldenballs]

Only saw the second half of that. Cracking finish from Watkins, I think it's a pen on King tbf, surprised it wasn't given.

Maybe that's a turning point for us.

[JUAN PABLO]

maatsen for Luca
Kamara for Bogarde
sancho for Rogers

Surely Guessand first?

dont think hes been no where near bad as Rogers. 

[Rigadon]

What the actual fuck are these pundits on about.  The most obvious dive, right booked for it, but no.  Fulham woz robbed. 

And how many times is Silva going to get away with his antics? 

[amfy]

He put the ball one way and then went in the opposite direction to throw himself over Martinez. He made no attempt to get the ball and just went for the foul. The pundits asking what he was supposed to do might look at it again and ask what Martinez was supposed to do?

[Garyth]

Lucas Digne, has done it once in four or five seasons. Why bother? Never beating him from there.

Done it for France a few times. But i agree. Unless you have a free kick demon then those are always a waste.

Don't think he's ever scored for France has he?

Ummm

[Smirker]

Out of the relegation zone as it stands.

We are staying up say we are staying up 

[Tuscans]

Buendia coming on to replace Elliott to slow the game down as Elliott passed forward too much

[Steve67]

Guessand has done a few nice things but needs to deliver into the box a bit more.  I think he's done ok so far.  Bogarde on the other hand. 

[Villan82]

Buendia coming on to add more pace

I always defend Unai but WTF is this

[Steve67]

Buendia, you're fucking joking!  Jesus Unai, what are you doing?  He's been shit in the last couple of games and adds the square root of fuck all.

[German James]

From one angle it looks like he left his foot dangling and basically kicked Martinez' leg, from the other way it does look like Martinez "took him out". As for the other one, the pundits said it would have been harsh to give it!
I think Guessand has been not too bad.

[Crown Hill]

Guessand has done a few nice things but needs to deliver into the box a bit more.  I think he's done ok so far.  Bogarde on the other hand.

I think he’s been absolutely woeful. Playing below me first half. Doesn’t even offer positional help.

[Villa Lew]

I would put Sancho on now
