Gave us no chance today coyb

That was a much better showing today than I thought was possible. As a stand-alone performance and given villas home record it was an exceptional result. When framed against the previous 3-4 games it’s bound to leave fans frustrated at what could have been.

All in all, 32 points, some good players to come back (2 of the teams best) Harrison Armstrong and James Garner are excellent. The team still need two full backs, still needs a striker (Barry is much better than Beto), still need a few squad players.

Moyes has done a really good job since coming in. Some decent runs but also rights the ship when things haven’t went well. No KDH, Keane, Branthwaite, Gana, N’diaye, Alcaraz - he might not be perfect but I’m happy enough and I’m more than happy to give him more time.

I voted for Garner but he was a very lucky boy with that push on the edge of the area.

Could easily have been a second yellow.

It is my late sister's birthday today. She was a Leeds fan as a teenager but after a visit to GP and a tour when she met Dave Hickson, she converted to the True Faith

She's smiling this evening! My late Dad was also a Blue.

I went Harrison so assured for young player always wanted Ba ll

thats good of you

A very good performance where everyone played their part and you can't underestimate how good that result was as Aston Villa had won 11 straight home games. We were the better side and should have won more comfortably if not for another terrible VAR decision.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

McNeill plus Patterson on the right flank.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Incredible management.

Great this

Thanks Ox
Probably should have went with ‘more than happy to’ so you could feel safe.

Brilliant match today. After a few meh/gutted results lately, what a treat today was. We almost scored in the opening minute plus the overturned JOB goal. The fact that our depleted squad could’ve gone on 3-0 to Villa at home should be so exciting knowing we’re so close to seeing what a squad with KDH, Ndiaye, and Armstrong can bring. UTFT

 

[PercyPlant]

McNeill plus Patterson on the right flank.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Incredible management.

If you take out all the HA’s you’d of be right, for once.

 

[CielosGrises]

Didn't give us much hope for this one, well done to them. Now start doing it at home too - no need to change personnel or tactics.

Plus Villas recent result away to Chelsea when Emery completely outsmarted Maresca in the second half. Moyes and the team were excellent today.

 

[Mashtray]

Still buzzing

 

[Eggs]

McNeill plus Patterson on the right flank.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Incredible management.

….sadly, I thought before the game that this was a very clear example of your entrenched view and total lack of understanding of football.

 

[chicoazul]

Why are some blues gutted Everton won?

 

[bullybeef]

Wow!

Great result.
Heard a Villa fan on BBC 606 say that we deserved the win and they can’t understand why we are only mid table.

Inconsistency and being hit with injuries, suspensions and AFCON call ups all at the same time with a small squad is the answer.

If he changes the defence in the next game he needs firing on the spot.



He did after we beat Forest. Having pace at the back with OBrian & a right back makes a huge difference.

If he brings back Keane Moyes should be terminated.
