The other way at looking at it could be that we play better against teams who don't shut up shop and play with men behind the ball. We found it hard to break teams down with the system we play.
I could be wrong, but I think the second yellow was so soft that the referee knew exactly what he was doing when he did it.
No chance he'd have given a yellow card for such a minor incident if he'd thought it was leading to a red card.
Very lucky considering Martinez got two yellows but got away with it due to the penalties not being regarded as the same game, which doesn't really make sense to me
Yeah, I get that.
Like last night, Real Madrid were played off the park by Man City but have scraped through to a major semi-final because City couldn't finish and they've scrapped away goals.
Tonight, Aston Villa were lucky to beat Lille on penalties, who were much the better team on the night.
