Burnley v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[wolfman999]

I’d be fuming if that pen was given against us to be honest, looked like an accidental tread on the ankle. You’ve seen them given though.

Yep.

I'm not aware of a rule that says it's not a penalty if it's an accidental rather than deliberate foul.

Mings having a good old chuckle at full time there.

Yes I saw that, he should give his head a fucking good wobble. Don't like to see that.

Or perhaps he’s just played a team sport , came up against one of his old colleagues and had a bit of a natter. Doesn’t make him a bad person.

I've never understood why people care about these things.

Maybe I’m old school but, after what should be viewed as a disappointing result and the performance he put in, it wasn’t a great look.

Fine, Mings and Tuanzebe were team mates - shake hands, say good game. But don’t stand there straight after the whistle laughing your head off like you’ve just seen Del Boy falling through the bar for the first time.

Ollie's goal that was disallowed really wound me up. His foot is slightly offside, but he scores with his head. Doesn't make sense.

Should never have been remotely offside from that position, poor from Ollie. Burnley were so bad at the back

We scored straight after. It is literally irrelevant. We wouldn’t have had both goals, obviously

Buendia's foot comes across to the side into Walker's natural running path, what do you want him to do?

I love this debate. Not a pen for me. Stonewall for others. Now we know why the ref’s job is so hard. And why VAR is pointless. Just let the ref make the decision and live with it.

It’s the inconsistency that everyone hates. I’m more than good with it being the ref. So if he with his assistants don’t see it then fine. But you know that the next game that is going to VAR and they are awarding it for another team.

Have you played team sport ?

[KRS]

That sounds like he’ll go full strength against Liverpool.

The thing with today is that if you were doing a combined 11 - even with our changes - I doubt any Burnley player gets in. That tells you everything about application and focus. I get that Thursday was a huge deal, but you have to take care of the bread and butter. It’s essential we qualify for the Champions League, and I think of everyone involved only Ollie and possibly Barkley can look at themselves and say they performed to their ability. I might add Konsa too, at a push.

Hmm… it’s not exactly a game of 5 a side down at Goals though, there’s a bit more riding on this. Fair enough if some are ok with it, but it irritated me. Ron Saunders would never have stood for it!

[dorsetvillian]

Buendia has his ankle/foot trodden on so I just assumed it would be given as a pen. Any top 4 team would get that decision..

McGinn and all the subs worked hard.
I think Mings is just off the pace now, Cash had an uncharacteristic (for this season) poor game. Maatsen was poor/potentially not good enough. Tielemans looked knackered, Rogers ditto. Barkley was ok, even though he scored nothing more.

I think now the team that started against Forest has to start against Liverpool and Freiburg barring injuries. Tiredness or not, its two huge games to get up for before a WC rest.

And I was thinking Friday was going to have an almost testimonial feel to it….jeopardy!!

[martyn ellis]

Such a waste. Sloppy beyond belief for both goals. Completely avoidable. It happens far too often.

There is no such thing as a accidental foul, it's a foul he stood on the back of his foot no matter how slightly and if it was at Liverpool Manchesters etc he would probably be recommended to go to the screen, because it's little old Villa it's okay,
