Villa? We're 9 points ahead of them (effectively 10 with GD) with a game in hand. We stuffed them at SJP. Got a whole week to rest before playing them. 

 

Brighton are a bigger concern, but really it's in our own hands and I completely have faith in Howe. We don't need to look behind our shoulders.

Villa are being mentioned recently as they’ve been on a bit of a new manager bounce type run, but when you look at who they’ve played it’s not a single decent side. They’ve basically beaten the relegation fighters, while good for them they’ve put this run together they’re still fucking turnips. 
 

Thought we were pretty poor today, but great job by the players sticking with it and pulling it off. Not a fucking clue what game that ref was watching mind, calling that a hand ball by Wilson was ridiculous really but thankfully it didn’t cost us today.

I said similar in the match thread. I wonder which poster he is on here

My money's on Rayvin.

VAR HAS BECOME AN EVEN BIGGER JOKE THAN THE REFEREES

 

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Next game at Villa looks tough and it might be.....but Villa's last 7 games show 6 wins 1 draw  which looks impressive

 

Drew with West Ham A / won Everton A Palace H Chelsea A Bournmouth H Leicester A  Forest H.........so not quite so good when you see who they've played

 

Prior to these 7 games well beat off Man City Arsenal & Leicester

 

As long as Eddie and his team work the magic during the week and iron a few things out I'm sure we'll beat them setting up a nice 6 pointer home to Spurs

We can afford to drop points to Villa because we’re smashing spurs

Emery has them producing some incredibly effective football. Don't discount them at all. Pretty sure it's only Arsenal and Man City that have more points since his appointment. 

 

They are a very different prospect now.

I don't deny it. But they're not going to close a 10 point gap in 8 matches (for them, 9 for us) man, meaning Spurs are a greater threat (going back to Gloom's post). Howay and Rosco are right as well. Other than Spurs, they've beaten nobody of note since the WC.

There's no easy games in the premier league (unless you're Man City) and confidence is such a huge factor so Villa at home will be full of belief. They've won with both dominant possession and counter attack so they're not one trick ponies. Despite our results in our last couple we've been patchy so a full week turn around will be welcome. I still favour us to have what we need, but our defense is looking shaky against speed and space so it is shaping to be anything but easy. One Six to

us with Isak and Botman netting hat tricks.

The match.

Superb Pope. Superb. He kept us in the game in the first half.

I didn't like the first part at all. Toney always hurts us a lot. The team played badly. He was asleep. We never had dominance.

The second part is another story. Turning around a game like this, difficult, like a big team that knows how to play in these games.

The negative: I love Botman, but I think that when he trusts himself and thinks he is better than he is, he makes very serious mistakes. Today he got one. And this year he has had a few more. They are few, but they are serious. He needs to have his feet on the ground. Maybe some competition wouldn't hurt.

The positive: Howe said that Wilson and Isak could play together... And boy. They can. Today they have shown it. In addition, the two are in a very good moment.

Without Almiron and Maxi, I think I would have them start the next game, with Willock behind them.

Isak is in better shape every day. I think he can mark an era in this club.

 

Botman is young, he will learn. He's been immense on the whole, think how badly some established defenders have struggled after moving to this league.

 

I'm more worried about Pope. His shot saving continues to be superb no doubt. But its heart in the mouth time almost every single time he gets the ball at his feet. 

 

Isak is something else like. Far from the finished article, he lost the ball in good moments today for instance, but he just has so much to his game. A very complete player who has the ability to do something special out of nothing as well. Stunning finish again today. The strange part for me was that as Wilson rolled the ball to him, I thought he's going to score, he's got the ability to score those week in week out. Henryesque in the way he moves and takes the ball on.

Aye, him and Wyki popped round for tea. I knew that bhuna stockpile would come in useful one day.

Went for a lovely evening stroll last night and had to side step a massive group of pissed up Yorkshire piss heads who must have been on a stag do. Wyki?

Ah, crossed wires, I thought you meant it'd be a stroll in our game, not that they'd challenge for 4th.

[RobinRobin 12486]

Not seen any mention but when Schar went down in the box there seemed to be no consideration at all.

Not sure what did happen when he fell but they spent about 5 minutes deciding on Isak's foul for which the referee had a much better angle. 

Pathetic 😡 

[Alex 36721]

Apart from needing a time limit on decisions, the other thing I said about VAR is that the officials looking at it in a screen are the ones who should overturn any decisions (if they decide the ref has made an error). On several occasions this season you’ve had situations where the ref has made the correct decision or has made arguably the correct call on a marginal decision. Only then to be asked to have a look at something again. This inevitably sows the seed of doubt in the ref’s mind. They then have to look at a screen and quickly reconsider their position. Looking at replays someone else has chosen, with the added pressure of doing it pitch side in front of the crowd. So you have the VAR official who has gotten involved when they shouldn’t have but then they don’t even take ultimate responsibility for that. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of the refereeing is poor but, in this instance, they’re being hung out to dry. It’s ridiculous

Aye, I think the inconsistency is another area where it’s so frustrating.

That was the key to that  shitshow against Palace where the angle they kept showing was the one which didn't show the "truth".
