September 24, 20232 yr That was a red card tbf, foot was in the air the whole time from ball through to ankle Edited September 24, 20232 yr by Vialli96
September 24, 20232 yr Utter bo**ocks. If you stop the vid when he's got his foot on his ankle it looks awful. But he's got the ball first surely??
September 24, 20232 yr I can't believe he's given a red for that. An absolute abomination of a decision
September 24, 20232 yr We can't catch a break at the moment ... injuries, decisions ... did someone break about a dozen mirrors at Stanford Bridge or Cobham or something ? We've looked quite good for a lot of the game today imo

It is not magic. You also can't ask player just put the ball in the box. It's very simple! Let's not keep looking for a pass in the box and running into trouble trying to thread it through to anyone looking half-spare. Check Palmer last week, it went back to Sterling who was scratching his arse at the side ready to celebrate a goal! It doesn't matter if it's Jackson, Sterling, Sanchez, or Toyah Willcox, have a crack at goal if you have enough room to lift your leg! It might be saved, we might win a corner, or heavens to Betsy, an actual goal! We look too frightened to f**k it up in front of goal, and completely lack any confidence at all to try something!
September 24, 20232 yr The 1 positive is Jackson being suspended next week. Ignoring pre season he's probably the worst forward I can remember at the club and he's in very very good company. Easiest fixtures in the league 1 goal from an XG of over 4. 5 yellows, no assists. Just horrible he's our main striker after spending do much. Edited September 24, 20232 yr by Whats_The_Mata?
September 24, 20232 yr Jackson has a lot of the skills to be a good striker, he just needs to work on his ball control

Seems inevitable that Villa will have more of the ball now and therefore we will be afforded more space. Looks like a 4-3-2 to me now. Disasi shifted to right-back, Chilwell as an orthodox left-back, Fernández moved back into midfield (properly) and Sterling up top with Jackson.
September 24, 20232 yr We’re asking too much of Jackson. He shouldn’t be leading the line every week.
September 24, 20232 yr These are the type of players we'd usually sign for 10-20m and loan out to Vitesse, now we spend 1 billion on them and make them our starting 11

I wonder if Poch would have taken off Hazard in this situation. I just can't understand Poch's decisions since the season started, during pre-season he looked like a different person compared to now.

They can't seem to make their mind up because the w**kers change their minds after every game. I bet I can find a dozen tackles like that already this season that didn't result in a red card. Why do people keep making excuses for these refs? They are f**king sh*te, and this one couldn't even get added on time right. Edited September 24, 20232 yr by Scott Harris
September 24, 20232 yr Im glad Mudryk is off, he was useless as usual…lost the ball most times he had it, cant be doing that at this level. He should go out on loan and then sold next summer! Park footballer.
