But would you be...
Do you think it's very brave of a goalkeeper to stay in the middle for every penalty?
I think this goal, not exactly the same, but probably similar in some ways to probably Mason Mount's goal that we've seen against Jordan Pickford, where sometimes they take it that early.
Sometimes we always say that when the goal goes in near post, you blame the keeper.
I don't think that's always right, and I wouldn't blame certainly Pepe on that one, but sometimes when the ball's bouncing, someone takes it really early.
The goalkeeper just can't react, just hasn't got the time.
It just reminds me of that one that we analysed earlier on.
Was Barnes' second even better than the first?
Well, this is the goal of the night, not just the finish, the actual build-up play as well from West End.
This is very good.
It's a really good goal.
You're talking about them on the counter-attack, Sven, but I think they also have the ability to play.
I think the thing with Harvey Barnes, as I mentioned there, it almost feels like he's now really establishing himself, because I've watched him a lot, and sometimes you're thinking, is he almost lacking a little bit of aggression in some ways?
I don't mean tackling, I'm talking about that.
Aggression in an attacking sense, where you're actually getting across someone, making that run, he's going to get there first, he's going to get the shot away, not worried about a challenge coming in.
That's what I'm talking about, aggression in terms of wide players.
I think young players...
certainly attacking players don't always have that when they come in, they need that sort of belief, bit of arrogance, ego, the confidence from the goal in the first half also, so he looks now, he's actually sort of getting that aggression in his game.
No, I agree.
I mean, as I said, I've been worried for Villa for quite a while now.
