"Massively frustrating. An excellent first 60 minutes or so, and then he takes off Antonio for a defensive player and sits deep. VAR decisions aside that is what screwed us today. Against Burnley he changed something that clearly wasn't working, in this game he changed something that was clearly working.We looked great until he did that. Ings was the obvious sub. Frustrating."

5 minutes of looking at the play to call the second one back. I thought Antonio's was even less conclusive. Total inconsistency with the yellow cards. Have to say we played a fantastic second half and a good response after the goal. Not sure why we went to Johnson taking Antonio off and it definitely weakened us. I think that was the difference between us and Villa. They can improve from the bench and we cannot.

VAR finding a way to rule this out. Disgusting

[nychammer]

get in!!!!!!!!!!! 2-1

"Moyes looking like he is getting done tactically by Emery. Villa's subs making the difference, Moyes change bringing on a utility player for our main outlet. Done nothing since Antonio's effort disallowed."

[nychammer]

we're hanging on a bit here nd defending really deep - does not always end well.

[nychammer]

replay shows harsh but fair. Pre VAR that stands but you have to take the rough with the smooth. We've had a few go our way too.

[Headtheball]

So annoying. That VAR call was really soft. It glanced in. Coventry got a goal yesterday with a more direct hit off the arm / chest.

[Nutsin]

These VAR decisions sure seem to go against us a lot. Have Villa had a single shot on goal yet?

[pdcwhu]

Yessssssssssssssssssss Hazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[zico]

How much have Villa paid the officials today and how on earth did Argentina win the World Cup wit that muppet in goal?

[maverick180]

I give up on football Corrupt officials making stuff up

[nychammer]

fucks sake VAR. WTAF.

[Nutsin]

"Ron eff What you’ve all been calling for is to fire Moyes. Without any consideration that we had several key players missing. Now we are back to full strength we are all seeing better performances and results. As the normal fans have been saying, give the manager and team half a chance, we are not a finished product we know but we are still a good side with a good manager heading in the right direction."

[zico]

Decent half after a tentative start. Can't imagine Villa will give the ball away as much second half. Coufal has had a good game.

[Ron Eff]

"A pretty reasonable first half performance, to be fair. We are pressing much higher rather than shitting ourselves at what they can do to us, and the result is mistakes from them. Just goes to show… The usual suspects with be lauding Moyes, and fair play for finally making a subtle change, but it’s only what the rest of us have been asking for all season."

Yessssssssssssssssssss Hazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[maverick180]

I wanna know what the cheating ref blew up for just before Kudus scored Wasn’t a foul on the keeper at all

[nychammer]

that was a gift of a first half from Villa. Expected a harder time of it but we got them well contained. Doubt we'll get as easier ride in the second and id say we do need another

[nychammer]

yes 1-0 - typical Antonio goal - just deserve that!!

[ragingbull]

"Happy but how is that not a pen for villa,karma coming back for us."
