Off the ball we’ve been very good.

Moyes has the set up spot on.

On the ball we’re rubbish. Just seems like our players are too slow and keep taking an extra touch when we’re in.

I kinda see the issue with Patterson.

Villa are definitely trying to bait him out of position and play the ball into that channel and it’s worked a few times.

I’m still starting him there over O’Brien every day.

We only have roast once a month and that's next week. Tonight is one of my faves though, king prawn linguine with garlic, olive oil, sundried tomatos, asparagus, chilli flakes, a little cream and thyme. Lovely.

Find it mad how they’ve just concluded that Armstrong is in an offside position without the lines.

That real , Guessand was never getting anywhere a challenge in on O'Brien.. and Buendia was never getting impacted

Missing the game today.

Just caught up with the disallowed goal.

No question, absolute farce that.

Think he's done okay, still a bit rusty but he's doing enough to warrant a run in the team

Half time lads in studio saying the goal should be allowed.

Think we've had some decent moments on the ball tbh. The late break where we won it on the right and quickly worked out over to Grealish on the left for example.

But yeah some really frustrating ones too, with players taking too many touches and not moving it on quick enough

Barely even mention the offside at half time on the commentary I'm watching.

They're have dedicated the whole 15 mins to it if it was a top 5/6 team who'd scored.

We’ve been very good. Good shape and have dispossessed them a number of times high up the pitch. McNeil’s best half for a long time. Leave Jake where he is. Eff off VAR. Home made Pizza.

Nothing on the BBC feed either. If that was Liverpool or Manchester United, we'd be hearing about it for the next week.

There are double standards everywhere in football, all which favour the rich and the status quo. I'm absolutely sick of it.

By the letter of the law, it is offside. That said, we seem to have been on the wrong end of a lot of VAR calls recently.

Keep disciplined and I can see us knicking something from set piece.

Home made pizza for us.

Does he actually interfere with any of their players getting the ball? I just dont see anyone in a Villa shirt getting near that ball.
