Poor performance. Difficult to continue to give Ralph the benefit of the doubt if this is the benchmark for the rest of the season. We obviously missed Lavia, and his natural replacement AMN (who I assume was ill/injured?) I'm not quite at the point where I'd be calling for Ralph to go, but, by the same token I wouldn't be disappointed if the owners decided to replace him over the international break.

As always, I bow to your wisdom on such matters

😂

More solid than we were when conceding 4 goals Vs Spurs. Good question though, I'll give you that, oh wise one. #buffoon

Are you my wife? #soundsfamiliar

I said I'd reserve judgement until the end of the game you buffoon (no offence). As things stand, my verdict is likely to align with your pre-emptive half time judgement. If I had any medals left one would be winging its way to you in a few minutes. Maybe pat yourself on the back instead by way of compensation

Not what I expected your missus to look like to be honest

Ok... hands up..... Having played my umpteenth benefit of the doubt card, I'm duly poised to join the "WTF are you doing, Ralph?" club....

Ridiculous isn't it?

Blimey... The ref did remember to pack his cards after all...

Which is it...?

We may lose the game from here, we may get a draw, we may win it. If it's ok with you I'm gonna wait until the end of the game before coming to a judgement on the overall performance. I know that means I won't get any bragging points given I won't be able to play my self-congratulatory "told you so" card at the end of the game, but hey ho....

Because when we do that we end up with the "dropping most points from a leading position" trophy...?

If only you'd posted that before we conceded we'd now be hailing you a footballing genius...

Maybe wait until the end of the game before coming to such a conclusion? #callmeoldfashioned

All our points this season have come from losing positions, so no panic folks....

Nope, it was deliberate (looking at replay)

The scorer was offside when ball first played in...

Ha... Fair point Didn't Elyounoussi have a fantastic second half a couple of games ago after most were slagging off his first half performance? Bugger... Villa score....

Would you rather have Stu or Elyounoussi coming off the bench on 55 mins at 0-0...? #devilsadvocate

Doesn't that apply to Villa too?

Yeah, he's defo gone off the boil for some reason. Never really been the same since that bout of covid a year or so ago...
