Looks like Marcus Rashford is getting pelters at the moment for being injured and then turning up at the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn fight last night. I’ve never really understood why people have a problem with that, especially when it was only a semi-final. When did just reaching a semi-final become an achievement?
In some extreme cases, I can see why laying low for a while might be a wise move, especially these days when everyone seems to be looking for something to be outraged about.
Emery was coy when asked about the injury Rashford had picked up. He’s been leaving big players out of the squad in recent matches — Torres, Mings, and now Rashford. Maybe it’s just an excuse to keep a certain player happy?
I think people ought to be careful when digging out players for living their lives. The Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn fight was the hottest event in the world last night — everyone was talking about it. Who would want to miss that fight?
We lost yesterday to Palace, and I was upset about that. But was I going to miss the fight last night? No chance. Just remember, we’re only here for a visit. Time is precious.
Rashford has come here to Villa and improved us. He’s an asset. We ought to be heaping praise on him — we want to sign him! So let’s be careful and not drive him away. Let’s be smart — no scapegoating. UTV
We lost the semi when Tores was preferred to Mings. Palace have 3 fast powerful forwards, Tores is not the guy to deal with them. Rogers, Tielemans, Kamara all of it and Watkins left isolated even when he held it up players were jogging to join him.
Palace seemed to want it more
Spot on with that mate.
It’s quite simple palace turned up and we didn’t. We were of the pace moved the ball to slow which gave palace time to force the press which ultimately forced us back and left us with no options to go forward. Fair play to palace they played with belief, desire and passion. No complaints from me just disappointed that we didn’t turn up. We had to many players of it yesterday and we looked tired and void of any ideas to trouble palace.
Very true.
Whose fault was that? We may never have such an opportunity again. Other clubs are catching us uo, established contenders will becone contenders. Our manager psychologically affected the players (lack of) desire
