We should have an ongoing ‘today’s football’ thread rather than a different one every day IMO.

I’m assuming as 50+mins have been played and there have been no posts that it’s been an uneventful game so far

Nowt much to report in the early games, both very much 0-0, Bournemouth have made 4 changes from midweek, but Stanislas retains his place unsurprisingly.

There isn't actually that many games to discuss as the weather has wrecked havoc with the entire card.

I disagree an ongoing thread would become unwieldy, keep it too one each day, much easier to follow, especially if the date is in the title.

Hope your wrong. Stephens got some stick on here for his performance against Bournemouth but Rodriguez was far worse. Other than Fulham away in the cup, I can't remember when he last had a half decent game

Maddison scores from free kick on edge of area, after VAR check for penalty

Ruled out for offside

Overruled by VAR so goal stands

Alisson's fault, Kabak had his eye on the ball. WTF was he doing going that far out of his area. :shock:

Just seen Southgate is watching....he will be thinking that Pickford is better than this!!!!

They are shocking defensively, it's sad we needed a penalty to beat them.
Not that I'm complaining :D

Liverpool were in complete control for about 75 minutes here then they've just completely collapsed.

Probably no surprise that aren't very good in defence when they've lost the words best defender to injury.

VVD would be a big miss for any side, but you defend as a team, and Liverpool are all over the place.

Strange how Arsenal have had shite keepers for about 12 years yet the ones they let go to Villa and West Ham look really good.

Yep Martinez looks a bargain at £20m, and he's played a huge part in Villa's defensive improvement this season.

Same old story for Brighton, they've dominated but they can't find a finishing touch.

Strange how we played Brighton off the park 2nd half last week, and yet they're doing precisely the same to Villa this week.

Someone has just commented on the BBC about the "late offside flag" apparently Grealish was blatantly offside and the flag stayed down ... play moved on and Matty Cash clattered a Brighton defender and the flag then went up....

What if Cash had injured said player and the lad was out for the season ... would Brighton have recourse to sue the PL for this stupid bloody ruling ... if a player is offside put the effing flag up only keep it down if you do not know ... thats what bloody VAR is for
