Always amazes  me when I see a Premier League player ball watching.

I was thinking the same after both of our goals. For the second, Havertz is clearly in space. Mings and Konsa must know that. Are they thinking "Cashy has got the block on Trossard. If not, I'm backing myself to block Havertz before he can shoot"? Or...are they genuinely being ditzy and focussed on the ball instead of the man they should be marking?

He'll be on the naughty step rather than the grass . Digne all day long.

At the moment he can bide his time and wat for Spurs FA Cup tie.
Its an interesting one though I do like his forays forward and he's not afraid to shoot plus he's experienced in Champions League but it looks like Digne for Celtic next Wednesday

If they ever assume Cash has got the block on a cross I’d have to question their suitability for their well-paid jobs.

Like they said on The Villa Podcast the other day, he looks like he’s thinking ‘I can’t tackle him in case he skips round me and gets a cross in, so I might as well just back off and let him get a cross in anyway’.
