WBA53 match thread

I agree that Livermore won the ball, his foot goes straight to the to the turf as he wraps it around the ball and in the lower leagues that challenge would be a booking at worst. He appears to lunge and that's what done him, stupid decision on his part as there was no danger.

Hause in my view was slowing himself down as the ball had gone, to put the brakes on it's natural to use your heels.

It was a one-sided game and in the past Villa would have become more desperate to secure the points leaving ourselves open on the break, your lot defended pretty well I thought as SJ didn't have to make too many saves despite the almost relentless pressure. Your best chance of survival is to buy a target man and go direct.

Livermore deserved the red - awful lunge and had there been contact it would have been a leg breaker! Can't defend it and it was needless from a thick player in a moment of stupidity!

Livermore should have know that you can't get away with that in the Premier League. He deserved to go. I think with many of these things the key word is intent. Livermore committed a reckless lunge whereas Hause whilst it looked like a red at first glance wasn't.
