[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

That was a foul on March. What is the point of VAR, it was a clear foul

I agree. But the ref should have seen that. He was about 2 foot away, that being said we’ve been shite. Villa have our number.

 

[Eric the meek]

Folks, this isn't Hinshlewoods fault.

He has hardly put a foot wrong. There was one pass to Gilmour early on which he had to stretch for and lost the ball, but IMO that is it.

 

[Mike Small]

Estupinian should have been rested midweek. Terrible decision by De Zerbi. He's not fresh today.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

We have been absolutely shocking but the first goal was offside and the second goal was a foul. Attewell screwing us over again.

The first goal was never offside. The second was inconclusive regarding the TV replays.

This is not blaming the player; this is blaming the manager for picking a player for his first start who is not ready. It's a fair point. Did we really need to rotate Baleba out of the team after only 120 minutes of football?

Baleba gave the ball way too much against Chelsea and was rated as 'perhaps not ready for first team football' by RDZ after the game.

 

[Weststander]

We miss the defensive midfield solidity of last season imho, the defence had cover with searing pace and biting tackles. This has been on the cards eg Bmuffs and Manure’s starts against us. With the EL group games, it will be a roller coaster of a season. The media talk of CL or pushing ManC was silly.

 

[slimes]

Get March , Webster Hinshelwood and Welbeck off!

 

[Normandy seagull]

The forwards are frustrating me. Not holding the ball up there, losing possession when it’s played forward to them and missing the few chances created.

Yep fergie has been dog shit- didn’t know he was playing

 

[Hendrax]

that header from Solly was comical

 

[London Irish]

March very clearly taken out in the build up to the OG. Not debatable at all. What use is VAR.

It’s been explained in an earlier post I think, another phase of play?

 

[Triggaaar]

...

 

[The Fits]

Should have signed Tyler Adams.

 

[hart's shirt]

Things could be worse.

We could've gone to watch it.

 

[Acker79]

Why are we so easy to score against? We huff and puff for every goal we get, yet our opponents just seem to stroll through.

Cant believe they looked at that and decided no foul.

 

[Washie]

If it was offside, why wasn't it given?

It wasn't offside. there was a player in an offside position, but didn't block the keepers view

 

[Alexander17]

Seems Steele not very inspired today!

 

[Zeberdi]

Scapegoating at its finest.

Exactly- we have had several chances we’ve failed to convert too - mistakes been made by experienced players in MF and at the back.

It’s all Buonanotte’s fault of course …

 

[willalbion]

Can’t stand Villa. Here’s an idea, let’s put all the frustration and anger toward Aston ducking villa and their rotation fouling, instead of at our god like manager (who’s missing 4/5 mids) and our players?

It was remarkable how he missed the foul on March in the build up but blew up against us for Estupinan's block.
