Viewers want Aston Villa’s Marvelous Nakamba punished as others laugh at Jarrod Bowen ‘bodying’ John McGinn as West Ham won 4-1 on Sunday.
At 2-1, the Premier League fixture could’ve easily changed. Villa were reduced to ten men following an Ezri Konsa challenge on Jarrod Bowen that supposedly had denied the player a goal-scoring opportunity.
West Ham went on to win convincingly but a tackle on Marvelous Nakamba by Pablo Fornals was discussed at length by Jamie Redknapp and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in the post-match discussion.
Redknapp had this to say: “I just think they come together, there’s a bit of a slip. I’ve been in games like this, when you’ve lost a player you try and get around the ref to get it back to ten men a piece. I don’t think it was a red. It became chaotic the game, and that possibly suited Villa more.”
Hasselbaink then added: “No it’s not a red. I think he should get an Oscar. I think both are going for the ball, Fornals slips a bit but I don’t think it is a red.”
Redknapp then joked by saying Nakamba had almost “rolled down the tunnel!”.
While fans of the West Midlands outfit may not be questioning the colour of the card given to Fornals, they will be instead questioning why the referee decided to not play an advantage for Villa. Nakamba got to the ball first and played a pass to set Anwar El Ghazi away on a counter-attack.
Chris Kavanagh then decided to stop the play and bring it back for a free-kick, when it may have been more beneficial if he had allowed play to continue so that Villa could continue their promising attack.
Whilst Nakamba was dramatically rolling away, McGinn tried to intimidate Fornals, only for Bowen to knock the Villa player straight to ground.
So many brilliant things about this clip. Firstly Nakamba doing his best salmon impression and then focus turns to McGinn trying to intimidate Fornals just to fall down like a sack of spuds when Bowen pushes him😭 pic.twitter.com/BWZbUrCp2O

Some viewers said they want Aston Villa’s Nakamba punished as others decided to laugh at Bowen ‘bodying’ McGinn…
@DavidMason800: Villa really need to do something about the slope of their football pitch. Absolutely shocking that, already injured, the poor player tumbles downhill clutching his ball sack.
@jackcoyi1: 5’4 John McGinn trying to give it the big in only to get sat on his arse by Jarrod Bowen what a day
@ellieWHU: bowen nearly pushed McGinn into another dimension
@paulkershaw36: If you needed an example of the togetherness of this squad look no further, first Lanzini comes in to protect Fornals and then Bowen finishes off McGinn, brilliant stuff
@Jake_Harris15: Aston Villa make it so easy to hate them.
@mancityrising: three match ban for being a twat
@hickster1972: He’s practicing his salmons into the pool ffs
@OAPreece: Good f***** lord he needs a good slap from his manager for that
@Gu35ty: Pathetic! Nakamba villas new role play diving expert? I’m sure smith trains them on the theatrical behaviours.
@DavyDArthur: Hate players play acting. Cheating in an attempt to get fellow “professionals ” punished. Awful role model. Time the authorities booked for this.
@Jay8320: I see Jack Grealish left a lasting impression on the Villa player’s…..
@dastardinblack: Like one of those things you got in Xmas crackers. You know little fish made of thin slips of plastic that curled up and wriggled. Pathetic.
@Gary86485467: Its a disgrace. It’s time football got its house in order. This would never happen in rugby. Football is the only sport where players fake and cheat to try to get their fellow professionals in trouble. A disgrace to the Villa shirt.
@peacesd: My wife doesn’t like football, doesn’t understand football, but just said what the fuck is he doing
@DeanMcIntosh73: anyone who has ever played any sort of contact sport knows that if you are genuinely injured then you are motionless not rolling around like your break dancing
@CochraneAdam: Not even a bad challenge ffs
@ChewingToons: If he was a mate of mine he would never be let to forget it! What an embarrassment!
@billycurwood1: So painful he waited for the whistle to go before rolling 10 times….
@wavypsalms: When you’re on skate 3 doing the first hall of meat mission you can ace
@_xlisemx: Me as a kid whenever I was at the top of a hill
@Greavesy_10: Hahaha state of that
@Charlie_RFC: 10 year old me dropping one of my mighty beanz:
