OTF

Beautifully worked goal.

No foul there.

I was poised for the Murphy arrow there. Curse the block.

Or had a look at where Martinez was heading and slotted it in behind him.

Does Mrs Tree know of your plans?

Fact is he cheated, gained advantage from it and the useless pricks still lost. The fact that the ref and the VAR were both incompetent is a separate issue. Brereton aggressively barged into Schär when he had no play at the ball, that should have been a red.

We're holding our shape well though (even before they went down to 10). Let's hope the.second half continues in the same vein and that we convert the pressure and chances into more goals so we can rest some legs ahead of our next game on Tuesday at Old Trafford.

Yep, remember Brereton for Southhampton. That sort of absolute cheating is why football is broadly mocked in certain circles.

Dodgy diving prick, Villa really doing a PR hit job on themselves.

So close!

Specsavers for Isak?

Nice pass Joelinton, Isak with the air swing under a bit of pressure. Would be grand to get a second before half time.

Quality ball from Schär, Gordon should have hit it on the volley.

I wonder if he'll try to hide behind the usual manager's line about not having seen the replay when he's asked about it.

Some patience though first, let's hold our shape, run them ragged, and then reap the rewards when they're tired.

Unai Emery not so loud watching that replay.

Right call, no way VAR will overturn that. What a dodgy cunt, that's what happens when your captain is McGinn.

Oo err

Another Swiss Army manoeuvre by Fab.

Bad ebening.

Isak making McGinn look a right tit (and also a cunt).

The old even up, but going to ground like that was a bit silly in that position.

Fuck off McGinn you offside cunt
