Rubbish game management reminiscent of last season. The penalty was not a penalty. Next...

I don't understand if the ref was so confident it was a penalty why it took him 5 minutes to decide? Surely if he was struggling to tell he doesn't give a penalty? A shame as 1-1 was probably a fair result. We showed how limited our squad is outside the first 11 but we showed a lot of heart so I'm not going to complain too much, although we should really of finished the game off when we had the chance. The ref awarded Villa the win and we move on. BTW, for the pedants out there, the penalty should have been retaken for encroachment according to the FA rules. I mean, they probably would have scored again, but the Palace players clearly pointed it out and VAR didn't intervene.

Our lack of depth and quality in our squad is what cost us today. We put our strongest team out and Ayew went off after 20 minutes. The international break didn’t do us any favours whatsoever and we were on the back foot even before the 3 o’clock kick off. Let’s move on and hopefully we can make amends against Fulham.

absolutely, because he is woefully short of PL standard and gets caught out in every game he plays. Originally posted by eagleman13
Didn't take long for posters to start blaming Richards. FYI, Watkins kicked Richards on the back of the heel & in stumbling Richards then fouled Watkins. OK?

The way we fell apart at the end was a disgrace and shows Ward is not correct captain it's people like him that should be setting example and screaming at people he doesn't (He is not this level anymore anyway again showing what a joke the squad is if he starts every week)

I get so angry when we’re winning and our players stupidly think time wasting will help. It usually doesn’t. It just gives the TMO or ref excuse to add double time on. These players never learn but they aren’t very clever.
The beatings will stop when morale improves. |

I thought Richards was excellent today and don’t know what he has to do to get a regular game (instead of ward). Eze will be a fine player one day but not until he stops wasting possession. We went toe to toe with a surprisingly poor villa team. Silenced villa park until last 10 mins and that worldie strike. Always miss ayew. Andersen couldn’t pass to save his life today!!!! Great to see edouard n mateta combining. Hughes is a great squad member and surely should be ahead of schlupp. Poor result but pretty damned good performance again

There has to be moments where contact with the ball and player are at exactly the same time and I feel this is what happened today, the ref easily could've said no pen ..we all know what MOTD will say though.
