Yet again, we did ok. Did Dyche get it wrong again? Do we go 2-0 up and simply defend it? Make the changes straight away, go 5 at the back and take N’Diaye off for Mangala or Doucoure?
What I can’t get my head around is our unluckyness….
1) Keane tries a diagonal, no need at all, loses the ball, they cross it, between Pickford and Keane, they mess up, Villa score.
2) Dom has a 1 on 1, for 3-1, messes up.
3) Harrison, who is somehow playing right back, miss controls the ball, low and behold, right to their man, a yard out, for a tap in, I would argue the play was offside as Harrison wouldn’t of gone for the ball had Digne not been battling him for it.
4) we have a chance to go 3-2 up. The ball in fizzed across goal, Dom slides, inches away
5) Their sub striker gets the ball and strikes it from thirty yards. A worldy goal.
6) chance for 3-3. Dom gets it, this time he does actually shoot, beats the keeper but it hits the bar, but it doesn’t fall back out for a tap in noooooo, it bounces back past everyone and Villa clear.
The facts are we are just so unlucky. Bournemouth didn’t have a shot on target until the 86th minute and they beat us 3-2, it’s crazy. The fact we have scored goals in these games and threw 2 x 2 goal leads away is so annoying.
Keane should not be playing.
We should of bought a left and right back.
Pickford is becoming a Dracula, scared of crosses.
The defence needs a long hard look at themselves.
