The second half at Bournemouth was tough to watch. Villa looked dangerous enough in the first half but it seems like we really struggle when teams kick up a level during matches.

Don't think there's any need to panic but a reaction sooner rather than later would be nice.

I don't buy that VAR is systemically corrupt (beyond, you know, its existence in football as a commercial enterprise), nor that there's a target conspiracy against a particular club.

But damn, I hate watching football sometimes now.

He's right. It did look out.
Keith Andrews on Villa's disallowed goal: "It took about four minutes to check. If they come to the right decision, especially if it goes our way, then I am in favour of it. I can understand the frustrations of fans. It looked out. I hadn't seen conclusive proof."
