[Bluerover]

Why is every single cross from Mykolenko just floated in with no pace?

Whip it in with some pace and away from the keeper.

John Robertson RIP was brilliant at this particularly at Forest. Clough called him the Picasso of our game.

His crosses were nightmarish to defend.

Grealish clapping the ref already

 

[Rita_Poon]

high foot HA

 

[Neiler]

That’s what Matt Holland said on the World Feed comms

He was there about 7 seasons and stuck with them after relegation.

 

[PhilM]

I reckon they work on them every day in training, you see them on the videos they upload.

How can he not have improved in this area over so many years, seriously?

I completely get your point, but I think it boils down to not being one of his gifts, whether that be how he strikes the ball, accuracy or just composure.

If they do beat the first man, they loop in such a way that it's relatively easy for defenders or the GK to deal with.

sort it referee

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

They are cutting us to shreds, only a matter of time.

 

[Delargeinho]

Good he pulled back in the last moment or we could have been on 10...

 

[dachshund]

Joke that reaction by Cash

 

[daza_1973]

This era of a good villa team doesn’t happen without them spending the Grealish money, the booing is just pantomime stuff

Comes from lucking out on Emery - the end

 

[Rita_Poon]

tielemans deep in the QB role. looking to dictate play to runners on the overload.

 

[PhilM]

Villa fans booing a player their club got £100m for

It isn't much different to the stick Rooney got for leaving us. Admittedly, I don't think Grealish celebrated in front of the Holt End, but you get my point.

 

[Neiler]

Centre half all over Barry there.

 

[the golden visionary]

sort it referee

Do your AI thing lad

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Wake up Jake
