Drury? Agreed.

massive win that like!

just looking at Villa's results in the PL this season and... they've had a remarkably easy run of fixtures? West Ham 1-2 Villa Villa 0-2 Arsenal Leicester 1-2 Villa Villa 3-2 Everton Villa 3-1 Wolves Ipswich 2-2 Villa Villa 0-0 Man U Fulham 1-3 Villa Villa 1-1 Bournemouth Spurs 4-1 Villa Only played 3 of the current top 10 and just taken 1 point from those at home to Bournemouth.

should be a few down by now. Birmingham well on top.

a half of two... halves. Dominated the first 25 but been poor since.

Brum haven't been out of their own half yet

Boddy running this for us

low quality game. Surprised at how poor Solanke looks for Spurs.

been in the gym, like. Just pushing the likes of Saka and Havertz out of the way on aerial duels.

I think being a football fan is really an emotional thing and that it's normal for people to be very up and down about it. I wish people would be more understanding of that when considering people's reactions really. Being bipolar about it is an inherent part of being a fan. Today I'm really hopeful about our chances. Last week I was utterly abject about them.

Joelinton made 4 fouls and didn't get a yellow tbf. Partey and Havertz made 3 with no yellow too so horses for courses.

Not sure what we did specifically but we kept them out of the problem area between defence and midfield. Havertz barely involved in the game and they really lacked an Odegaard too I think.

neither Napoli nor Atalanta look like particularly good teams tbh

I like this idea. I think we have to rotate the team constantly as well. We have the options to do so when players are fit with the likes of Barnes, Tonali, Almiron/Murphy who can all come in and change us. It's key to making us harder to prepare against - we were looking quite stale and predictable before the last couple of games.

Saka is always going to have some joy against any full back in world football, mind. He's one of the best wingers in the world if not the outright best, and he's in great form even by his standards atm.

his touch map pretty much has him playing as a lopsided 10 with Bruno and Longstaff as a pivot Think this shape works much better than the flat 4-5-1. Isak never felt isolated yesterday until Willock went off really.

and off his own steam iirc? Hired his own staff under Bruce I think

more than anyone else who plays for us, Sean is a fan like any of us.I wish our fans would remember that even when he’s not playing great. Should just be supporting him all the time.

will always really enjoy that whenever there’s a 50/50 it becomes a 90/10 in our favour when Joelinton’s involved. He must be terrifying to play against . One of the most physical players I’ve ever seen.

ooof, dunno about that like. Keeper was weak as fuck.

I wonder what Evan Ferguson goes for at the moment. Stock must be about as low as it's going to get for him.

these teams are so bad

is his interview clipped up anywhere? I missed it live

looks happy again!
