They can’t even sub him off now, I don’t think they have anyone to replace him with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ounas has played in the middle before, but unless David collapses out there, you are losing a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) With Angel and Cabella, they can afford to work it throught he middle. The problem is the Villa centre backs are allowed to pick a pass with the game slowed down. Tons of pace up front for them.

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Penalties. Something I hate and find asinine, that the ref has to explain the rules to keepers before every penalty. Why? The ref is not explaining the rules to anyone else on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Too bad, they played well. The whole way a round of penalties is done is terrible lately. First, the ref should just shut up, the players are nervous enough as it is. And at no time during a game are they required to listen to him give a speech about the rules. So why do they insist on this attitude with keepers, as if they were unable to understand the rules. Then, the refs stand far to close to the penalty take. I don't understand why the guys have to be in the middle of the play, in the keeper's and taker's line of sight. They often even do this in in-game penalties where you have players who have every right to follow a shot into the box. Just get back, you can see the entire penalty keeper and taker, like beyond the line of the 6-yard box. I love the way penalties used to be, you just took them, and there was a rhythm to it, and the rounds were far more enjoyable. As for Martínez, well look, Labbe did a similar thing to win us gold in Tokyo, when it goes your way it's genius.

frmr Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Chevalier did well to stop one of the penalties but let's be honest, Martinez is arguably the best in the world in a penalty shootout. After Villa equalized, Lille really needed to find a goal in extra time, which they were unlucky not to. Unlucky on the whole night really, they deserved to win. Too bad.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 By the way, if you want to win some money just ask me what team I am supporting in Europe for any given match and bet against that. I think I am 1 for the last 9 I cared about. johnyb and GasPed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on topic, doesn't look like JD bumped his stock too much for any casual EPL fans over the two legs, as much as I'd love him in England. Still sounds like Inter might be interested? He and Tajon on the same field is even better costarg and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other thing I've seen is that Chelsea could challenge them on that, but not sure how much truth there is in that, and not sure how attractive that dumpster fire would be right now. narduch and Ruud 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of watching Lazio - one of Napoli's direct rivals for Europe - is currently in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
