It’s becoming a worry that teams are now bullying us so often, and we don’t seem able to cope with it.

Many clubs just ensure that new recruits are big units. Dean Smith, Sean Dyche, Roy Hodgson, Chris Wilder, Steve Bruce seem to do this.

Connolly, Mooy, Maupay, Alzate and Trossard are tiny by comparison. Not ideal if a match descends into a physical contest.

He was targeted by the Villa players and his gallic red mist came out. He has to learn from this, he cut a very frustrated figure this afternoon.

The ref did not control Villa’s thuggery and therefore they ramped it up. I suggest there may have been some pisstaking after his miss in the last minute and he snapped. Not condoning it but the ref takes responsibility for losing control of the match imo.

We need to grow some balls and man up. We are in a relegation battle and seem far too nice. Quite happy to roll over and have our bellies tickled.

Sheff Utd game, today, Montoya foul at Palace for the penalty, no one even appealed it.

We need to wise up to some of this stuff and get involved

This seemed to stem from the free kick given for a professional foul by Hourihane ..almost got our guy back by the neck ...bit of a ding dong afterwards that Maupay got involved in..shoving one of theirs....various Villa players including Mings who seems to think it’s his right to get involved in every bust up ....as the players moved towards the Villa goal Jack (who seems to have none of the good character of his dad) Grealish obviously said something to Maupay ...minor skirmish ....free kick taken......final whistle shortly after ....players going round shaking hands ..Maupay walks towards Grealish ...hand bags break out ...including England’s finest centre back.....Maupay gets pulled away ...pushed towards the tunnel ..intercepted by Villa player ..all kicks off again ....Dunk grabs Maupay and escorts him to the tunnel entrance.

As an aside I don’t really like Villa..to up themselves

Grealish obviously said something to Maupay.....................Maupay did take the piss out of Grealish's hair at one point tbf !

The ref lost control of the game by not being assertive enough with Villa throughout the game. Was a booking for the foul on Mooy then the persistent fouling by Villa went unpunished. I’m finding this is the case, more often than not now, that the refs let them get away with it until really late on then it doesn’t matter! Book them early and they will have to stop!

The ref was poor though and showed when Makemba was subbed off and wouldn’t leave at the touch line. Needed to be reminded by the North Stand that was the law and then he took the piss going off. Just give him a 2nd yellow if he won’t leave.

Even though Maupay has a fiery temper, he is a bottle. Watch any ball sent near him in the air and he never ever looks at it, always at the defender.then never wins the ball or just fouls the defender. Worse, the ball was sent through to him in the second half, one on one with the keeper, he didn't once look at the ball, just the keeper and he got nowhere near the ball. Head down and go for it and he will either get the ball, get a foul, or get the keeper sent off. He is a bottle like the rest of the team and the sooner they sort that out the sooner we might start winning.

Saw that too. I think a lot of the 'afters' was handbags at dawn with Grealish and especially Muapay' s ex mate Mings getting their own back. Fair play to Maupay though he seemed to want to deck Mings who must be a foot taller:clap:

Side note I thought Mings had an excellent match and that was why Maupay was so wound up. Nothing wrong with that as long as he keeps the lid on it.

To be fair we played into Mings hands. Pumping high balls at two midget strikers being marked by a man mountain like Mings was never going to end well for us.

Agreed there. A few more through balls would have been more productive.

The players are all bottles....hmm ..

I know it probably won't happen, but doesn't the idea of Maupay and Andone kicking off with all the opposition defenders bring a smile to your face ?

Maybe it's just me then :D
