Ah come on dude. Subbing Skipp on for Gio was not the reason we lost that game today.Would it? Football doesn't work like that. If we score one of those chances the game changes and Villa adopt a different approach.
Again I'm not criticising his willingness to keep playing this way. Just that I don't see the point in keep playing players that definitely don't fit and we are looking to move on, over academy players who, according to all the club statements when Ange was appointed would be one of his priorities. It was according to DL one of the main reasons he was appointed.
I don't think it was 'brave' to bring Skipp on for Gio when we were 2-1 down, In fact I think it's exactly what Conte would have done.
We had the ball in the net 3 times, only to be ruled out by marginal offside calls. Fine margins.
I also don’t buy this whole narrative that the current players can’t play this system. First half the entire team were fantastic. If you can’t see that, you need to give your head a wobble. We just got tired and the bench options weren’t great.
