MC Prussian Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Bright start, then the goal took all the positivity out of our game. Referee's a homer, him and VAR missing a blatant handball. Oh, well. Here's to a more positive second half and an early equalizer. The players need a nice rollicking and Rodgers re-thinking his tactics. Barnes and Perez don't work on the wings and Maddison has been way too greedy (again). Iheanacho simply disappeared, has he had a shot on goal after the first 11 minutes?
Fox seen in Norwich Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Only one shot on target and they’ve scored from it Nyland playing Neuer. We’re in this. Comeooooooon
Guest Cujek Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Nacho done nowt. Letting greasy run the game for them. Need more potency. Not good enough in the first half. Better in the second please.

Guest Kopfkino Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Well the difference is at one end the goalkeeper has had one meaningful contribution and made a hash of it whilst at the other end the keeper is having a great game and Nakamba has license to fill in as a second keeper when needed
don_danbury Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 don't know why people are so unhappy. they've been largely bossed and their best player is their goalkeepr(again). been robbed of a clear handball.

Tanya Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Disappointing. Nyland having a stormer as is Grealish. Grealish showing up his rival Maddison a bit. We look a bit rattled. My only concern is with Wes out we can't go three at the back. Perez is being asked to play narrow. Not only is he not having a major impact but it's also giving Riccy a harder time in defence. Bit of a sinking feeling about this one but come on lads prove me wrong.
Toddybad Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 We should be at least level. How Nakamba gets away with practically catching the ball in their area I have no idea.
Fox85 Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 We are ****ing shite in the final 3rd sometimes. Every shot we have had has been outside the box.
The Bear Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 How the Fuchs did VAR not give that handball for you? Blatant as they come.
tickler28 Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Swap goalies and we're winning that game at least 2 nil. Schmeichel will not be happy he didn't get anything on their goal.
hejammy Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Just now, Nod.E said: We've not been perfect but not bad at all. We're making chances. So are they, but I'd rather this than not looking creative. Keep playing the way we're playing and something will come off. The worst thing we can do is panic and get desperate. The chances we've had are all long shots from outside the area. Only Nacho tight angle from inside.
LCFCSOULBOY Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 I am so sodding sick of Chillwell & Madders being all lovey dovey with half of the Villa team. Hugs and f*cling kisses before the game. Time to get stuck in.
Foxhateram Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Just now, Shane said: He’s not getting much support from Chilwell. I don’t think Chilly has overlapped to create a 2v1 or provide space for Harvey to cut inside Fuchs is the better option at the mo. Chilly is a completely different player recently.
EnderbyFox Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Not quite sure how we are losing this, best goalkeeping performance I've seen in years and a stonewall penalty not given. Would be interesting to see Barnes' heat map, stuck to the line like glue
Langston Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Just now, Babylon said: Maybe not, but 1-0 to them doesn’t really reflect the game. I agree you could argue that, we've definitely seen more of the ball and carved out better openings than we did at ours – but since the onus has shifted on us to chase the game we've been largely pedestrian, ponderous and flat - when Villa go forward they look more dangerous, Ricardo is being left with far, far too much to do.
yag101 Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Chilwell looking a bit soft today. Really lacking in aggression - saw a few times where he could've won the ball and just stood off. Also looks a bit ponderous on the ball - but it's maybe natural as he's been off for a bit. I'd keep Fuchs in the starting lineup.
Carl the Llama Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 We've been the better side, a keeper having the game of his life and a ref afraid of booking all these cynical fouls is our biggest obstacle.
shailen Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 We've been good. Created some great chances and been unlucky. Keep going and playing the same way I'm sure we'll turn it around.
StanSP Posted 28 January 2020 Author Posted 28 January 2020 I genuinely think the VAR people looked at the wrong incident. Think they looked at the shot blocked after it hit the guy's hand and not the one seconds before. Shocked they've not looked at everything and IF they have, I am stunned they think the arm was in a natural position.
Fox85 Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Also how has the ref not booked any villa players. Many fouls let go after we start breaking. Many consistent fouls aswel.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Very much on top, just yet again villa get one chance and score, we just haven’t had the luck in these ties and their keeper is having an outstanding game.
