League Cup 2019/20

In control of the match but that Villa goal was a real momentum changer. Horrible.

From the sounds we shouldn't have had the corner for our second.

Just need to get a bit of control back and maybe get a 2 goal buffer back.
 
Tough half, and a good game overall. Not much on it.

Thought Zinchenko, Rodeo, Dinho were our best. Foden good as well. For them Grealish is always a threat.

3 in a row for us. Hope we can make it 4 next year.

Finally saw the mini match. Unlucky villa. Always knew the non use of VAR would cost a team severely with a corner that shouldn't have been awarded

Can't have VAR looking at every FK, corner and throw in. The game will take 300 mins to complete. A corner kick is still just a corner at the end of the day.

A corner that leads to a goal they should go back and look at. Same too with a foul leading to a FK
 
I was on the other side at the other end and it looked fairly obvious to me.

Having said that one about 10 minutes before was called a goalkick when it looked like it came off a Villa player.

Unfortunate for Villa to concede from it, don't think it's the sort of thing VAR should be checking though.

You can't have a stoppage, play and then go back because a goaI is scored. Thats just ridiculous.
It's a sport with so few goals that it really wouldn't change the duration of the game that much if a goal from a set piece was checked after the fact.
