Aston Villa awkwardly play WRONG anthem before Champions League quarter-final with PSGRooney agreed with Seedorf that the Villa defence was too wide open in the opening exchanges. The ex-England striker said: “Marcus Rashford has a bad first touch and loses the ball, but as a forward you don’t expect to concede a goal from there.”I think Kamara should stay in the middle of the pitch but he doesn’t, he gambles. “From there, Matty Cash doesn’t run back quick enough.”It’s a very dangerous position now for PSG to be in.”Hakimi makes the inside run and Digne doesn’t follow him. It’s a good goal from PSG but sloppy from Villa.” More
