You missed the one by Ings on Regulon and he should of picked up a second yellow for the clumsy foul in the box against HojbergAbsolutely gutted about Doherty's injury. He's improved so much recently and that's a massive credit to him.
That's what happens though when a manager sends his team out to basically smash the opposition. Three bad tackles in that game starting with Cash, Mings and then Ashley Young.
These refs are clueless. They'll book a player for a soft foul like Hojberg did, then let go tackles like the ones mentioned above where only Young got booked when if anything that should have been a sending off. The Mings and Cash ones were out of control.
Agree with all thatDoherty must be gutted. Such terrible timing for this injury. At this stage of his career having so recently cemented himself a place in the side, by the time he's next fit to play we could have a newly signed shoe in replacement. Could be a career defining moment for him but it is what it is.
We should be OK. Rather than Emerson I would rather see Bergwijn get in the side against Brighton, even if we stick Kulu rwb with Berg ahead.
Agree. I was a Lucas supporter because for much of the last 2 years he was one of the few putting a shift in and was our only spark in a lot of games.It’s not just the lack of assists, it’s worse than that…. He simply never gets the ball forward quickly into the feet of Kane or space ahead of Son. He stifles any form of style and flow across the whole attack. We’ve seen the benefit of releasing them early since he’s been binned and we are averaging over 3 goals per game without him. Good riddance
Has Rodon ever played as a right back? Might be worth a go
I hate Cash
FFS!
Through adversity comes innovation.
Initiate The Bergwijn Experiment please, Papa Tony. :contepray:
Interesting I'm sure. But what's it got to do with Matt Doherty?
Fuck Gerard and his over aggressive tactics, fuck the limp wristed, weak as piss water ref Scott who should have sent off cash, mings and young for out of control tackles.
I'm surprised more hasn't been made of Villa assaulting our players in light of this.
At one point, Reguillon got cut down and a Villa player dragged him to his feet. After the amount of vicious fouls they put in, how dare he suggest Reguillon was ok and should just get up and carry on?
Who else are Villa going to put out for the rest of the season?
It's not like they're even playing Woolwich, West Ham or United and could do us a favour!
If it's out if control it's a red.. theres no leeway...Mate, we’ve done exactly the same to teams our technical superior, for decades.
The ref should have given them a couple more yellows, maybe call their captain in to ask him to tell them to calm. But, it wasn’t as bad as we have been, and, we loved it, as it showed “you gotta first withstand our fight”…
Expect it a lot next season, as we look a bit machine, other teams won’t just let us muller them…
