keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 10, 2019 So VAR isn't clear cut. That looked to fit the parameters of the new handball rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van wink 2,994 Posted August 10, 2019 you could say it was an unatural body position, but not as if he was dangling his arm out, could go either way I guess so they go with the ref Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Canary1 91 Posted August 10, 2019 They've pummeled Villa in the second half and deserve to be ahead. Still don't think villa will struggle though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry53 207 Posted August 10, 2019 I wish we were playing Spurs. So many more opportunities to play our game. Liverpool just limited us throughout. Looking at the results today, i have to say we did ok last night and we are not bottom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peanuts 150 Posted August 10, 2019 38 minutes ago, Peanuts said: Villa's approach is probably the sensible one to take - keep it tight, park the bus and try to get something on the break or from a set piece. So far it's worked perfectly for them. And the flip side is that you can soak up the pressure, defend heroically and still get beaten. I know which approach I prefer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted August 10, 2019 Credit to Villa that have played well but haven’t come up against a team anywhere near the level we did and have still lost 3-1. Shows how ruthless this league can be because for 70 minutes of this game Spurs were garbage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,129 Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) We've seen in this division time and time again - you can't sit back for 60/70 minutes and expect to get much from the game. As soon as they took Wesley off there was absolutely no hold-up play or forays into Spurs' half, and it was extremely unlikely that Spurs weren't going to get a golden opportunity at some point. I prefer our approach and think it will bring us success this season, but we certainly need to find a bit of balance and steel so we can do what Villa did for shorter periods of time.

I know which approach I prefer. I'd rather lose the fight by being knocked out whilst uncontrollably windmilling than covering up, never laying a glove on the opposition but losing on points.
