Was pretty tight up to the penalty. We were not at our best and the formation did not really work, but hells bells the ref was so one eyed it was laughable. Villa are a good side, and they really do not need that help. We should all be applauding Max now for saving us a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I keep hearing they deserved to win because Max was outstanding... Weird logic, because you wouldn't say that about a striker having a great game. Last time i noticed, the keeper was a part of the team just the same. No, shocking officials cost us today.

Red Exile Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 The turning point in the match was the pen. Looked very dodgy! No disgrace today. Max played a blinder. Good for his confidence. Great support. Villa strangely mute until they scored. Amazing to hear a pin drop in a 40k crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that game was played in Italy that ref would be accused and investigated for match fixing.An appalling one sided performance that gave Villa the lift they needed while we were on top coupled with the absurd yellows he dished out.

Major Isewater Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Elghazi was very good , I kept having mental images of Carry On up the Khyber every time I heard his name. Villa just had a helping hand today but they are a good side even missing some of their top players. We weren’t disgraced and just need to take it out on Reading !

Changed momentum of the game . However Taylor should have seen red for a bad tackle from behind . For the rest yes ref was giving strange decisions but there have been worse . Max made 4 stunning saves and Villa hit the post , they had a lot of string chances . We had less , could have scored more ourselves . Hey look at their squad . I don’t think we should feel too down , this was always going to be a tough one . We know where we are missing some options and quality . Out big game will be Derby I guess . We are in the mix with 5 games to go and that is excellent . I was there’s and Matty’s foul was never a red, tripped him up only and rightfully picked up a yellow card.

No way, at least in Serie A: Rubentus doesn't allow investigations about matches. In Serie B, maybe... That being said...yeah, the decision making was really one-sided, so I can understand why so many fans are angered: you are not used to unbalanced refereeings.

Completely agree. For some reason people seem to think that the team that creates the most chances is the one that deserves to win the game. But it’s all about taking them, and if our goalkeeper was able to deny them and their strikers were not able to convert, then they haven’t demonstrated the necessary skill to win the game. The penalty clearly made a critical difference to the outcome and therefore we have every right to feel aggrieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Aston villa won the European Cup in 1982. At the same time, we were bankrupt in division 4. Now their fans are crying on social media because nobody thinks it was a penalty. Oh how the mighty have fallen. And I work in Birmingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapax Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 2nd best second half after it could have been 2-2 first half. They turned it up second half and their winger in particular caused all sorts of problems. Houriha could have had a hat trick. Credit to O'Leary after all the talk being he was the weak link, he stopped a repeat of last season. You want to get something out of Villa, like Weimann said, you need to score twice. One goal on target and not good enough. No shame in that. 23 minutes ago, ChippenhamRed said: Completely agree.

At times they were insanely good going forward, but equally just about every one of our players got in to a position were they could not make a tackle in case of a second yellow. A neutral might well say they should have won easier in the end, but they won 2-1, becuase of literally being handed a penalty. It was always going to be tough, and the ref made it a lot harder than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being honest they got a very very very very dodgy pen and scored a goal. We had a very borderline decision go against us in Weimanns goal that would have been a momentum/game changer. It seems that some are implying they deserved a dodgy pen for missing all their other chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a crucial decision that had a critical impact on the outcome of the match. The team that deserves to win is the one that scores the most goals, not the one that creates the most chances. If they haven’t demonstrated the ability to take their chances while our goalkeeper has succeeded in preventing them scoring, then they don’t “deserve” to win the game.
