Im not sure there’s anything left for them to humiliate us with - the under 5’s knocked us out the cup, ive witnessed a number of abject surrenders at their ground, the 95th minute spinning back off the top of the bar. I guess they could spank us at goodison but ive already seen a watford side that will likely get relegated stick 5 past only a few weeks ago.
BOOOOOOOOOOooooooololPotter not happy with some of the natives booing after drawing to Leeds, just imagine what he would think here when we win and still boo.
Did he?
I don't understand why an FA would tell a team in the relegation zone to field nine against the league leaders, much less why they would do so when the problem is COVID. Just inviting an outbreak.
Not sure “howler” is fair, he got most of the big calls right. He did allow Villa to get away with a ridiculous amount of time wasting through feigning injury and they mobbed him at every opportunity. The one big call he did get badly wrong was blowing too early for a bad foul deep into the Villa half when the ball had broken to Gallagher with him and Benteke clear. Inexperience. Obviously he got the red card wrong as well but it was rightly turned over bu VAR. It was the the small and repetitive niggling fouls and time wasting that he just let Villa get away with throughout the game that stood out. He got grief at the end from Palace fans but tbh I’ve seen a lot worse from more experienced refs.
But they kicked off seven times, got to have more posession ?
I only watched motd and the called back foul was a potential game changer.
