@mlawton@mstdn.socialI was hoping for a draw, knowing that this was always going to be a rough away fixture. Villa are disciplined and the right kind of physical.
The injury-depleted attack effectively put too much on Ngumoha to do something individually. He tried, but doubling him was all they needed to do. Gakpo, out of position, is a hole in the offense.

“The attacker still has escalation dominance, so there is a doubling down,
which then moves up the escala…

The number of countries blocking the strait has doubled, as America joins in blocking passage to even more vessels.
At this rate, with the number of countries blocking that sea doubling every month, every country in the world will be blocking the Strait of Hormuz by the end of the year.
