fruitvilla Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 While I also agree with the sub ... for different reasons. I thought Cash was OK. Diaby in front of him seemed to be on the wrong ordnance survey map. I really did not like his tackle to get the yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 A game to forget but a very capable player. Say what you like, but we probably don’t win that game if Bentancur (who we absolutely should have signed) goes off. #Instrumental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I'm a fan but he was off it today and with another ref would've easily been sent off. Good decision by the manager to take him off at half time as they'd have targeted him second half and his mentality wasn't quite there so would've been vulnerable. Will start midweek but not sure about Bournemouth as think UE might use this to send a little message. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancvillan Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 You'd never see Romero make a rash challenge like that. Where was here today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 A bit surprised we started him as RM against a team like Spurs. Perhaps it was because Spurs play this wierd but efficient tactics with their fullbacks playing as attacking midfielders when they have possession, perhaps the idea was to have Cash as cover for Konsa. But it hampered our attacking play too much. It made such a difference in the second when Tielemans helped us regain control and Bailey driving on out wide. We are well stacked in the inverted winger role with McGinn, Ramsey, Tielemans, Zaniolo and Buendia. What we really need is a top class RB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Interesting take on The Villa Podcast - while slating his performance they wondered (possibly very correctly) if the tactical plan was just to have ‘natural’ wingers (vs inverted) to drop outswingers in on a Spurs side with no CBs. Would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted November 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2023 Speaking purely about ‘that challenge’ it’s not something that anyone really likes but unfortunately the foul to stop the break by the opposition is now part of the game. I haven’t seen it again since the game but I’m pretty sure that’s what it was. Yeah the player got hurt on this occasion but if it was a Man City player stopping the player then no one would bat an eyelid. Cash wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone, he’s not Ben Mee, it was just a poorly timed challenge to stop a break by the opposition and every challenge has some inherent risk of hurting a player. I think a yellow card was fair. If it was the other way around I’d probably feel a bit aggrieved too but that’s just football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I might be totally wrong - but I don’t feel this is UE’s method of doing things ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the other way around when Kamara was brought down after two fouls on the edge of the box, it didn't result in any card, not even a yellow. I'm sad that a player got injured but there was no malice in that challenge and there wasn't that much contact. You didn't see us bitchin when Ramsey was injured after coming back from an injury, did you. Getting dragged in by the London drama queen's isn't going to get them a win. They lost at home to a rival and can't deal with it . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I have my days with Matty....sometimes he's really good, other times poor. He can't defend well enough for me, of stay in possession in a challenge...but just my take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that way, and the media, follow along. see them tackles in every game.....anyone else, and it would have been dismissed....they just lost an integral player.....join the club spurs, we've had 4 out all season. BOT..............Sadly, I think Matty's place could be the next one under threat, moving forward Edited November 28, 2023 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 There was a ropey challenge on Diaby who got caught, and the ref didn't even blow up. Anyway, they have a **** cheek tbh, with Romero at CB, who spends 90 minutes every week fouling and niggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I rewatched the game, paying close attention to Matty. Did not make any more mistakes than anyone else. Apart from his horrendous yellow, he was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picicata Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 The Spurs fans seem convinced that Romero will be aiming for revenge on Cash in the return fixture but that misses several important points. First, there is every chance Romero will be banned again for one of his many hacking crazy fouls. Second, that Romero is in control enough of himself to target Cash, he might injure Cash but only as part of his normal kick everyone game. And third, I'm almost certain we'll have a new right back by the return fixture. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
