No I didn't.
I said "knowing we're hopeless at goals from crosses".
Villa were contending with an EPL starting 11 with a total season's tally of an Andersson OG and Maupay. [Thank you for the information btw].
Even Swansman commented in the last 48 hours about this being an Albion weakness...
Gerrard & this game:
Webster - out injured.
Welbeck - not in the starting 11.
Burn - stupidly sold.
Leaving an Andersson OG and Maupay goals as the season's spoils, relevant to this game.
Sore Albion fans.
Villa had us on toast.
- The average pitch position map (posted by Guinness Boy on another thread) showed a compact Villa defence, protected by McGinn and Ramsey. = sound defence.
- Digne had Lamptey in his pocket by not giving him a yard. He didn't even need doubling...
