The_Steve Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 People are welcome to disagree, but I've watched the melee several times, and in my opinion, Mings is charging in looking for the ball. He only reacts because Zaha is flailing limbs at him, extending him arm to disarm the situation. Any contact was accidental. Zaha made a meal of it to wind Mings up and it worked. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobsons Choice Posted December 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2020 Just found my phone. Thoughts on that half: Villa typical self sabotage job. We were great on the counter early doors, well in control, then we let them back into the game. Furious with Tyrone. What an idiot. Will probably cost us the game. Why take off Traore when he’s terrified their defence and El ghazi has done nowt. Baffling to me. Expect a battering second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Gonna be a tough half now, big test of the teams resolve and discipline. Grealish will need to put a shift in going back and lead by example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 First booking was never a yellow. Having said that surely the wise sub was el ghazi to come off stick jack on the left and have no player in the 10 role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 They've got a few players on a yellow, they will get a red. Mings was definitely fouled for his second yellow. However yet again easy chances are not being put away. We should be 5/6 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 It's so disappointing we're down to 10 men because we were strolling through the game, and it was so completely needless. Mings is a great player but I can't imagine Konsa doing what he did against Zaha there, let alone when he'd just been given a yellow. The good news is that we seem like a really good team these days so even if we don't end up with any points this game I feel like we'll win plenty this season. I'd be absolutely fuming at this situation last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If you watch the replay for the second yellow, it actually shows Zaha pulling on Mings' hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If Jack wasn't so Hollywood, it would be at least 2-0. It's frustrating to see how many times Ollie is being fouled and nothing given. He's played well otherwise. Emi is looking very solid. Palace are banking on set pieces. We look very dangerous on the break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Gotta take your chances. Grealish, El Ghazi, Bertie hitting the post. Just one of them would have helped...alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
