Aston Villa PL (H) | Man of the Match

[spacecadet]

Nunes was good, needs some new studs though.

And a brain at various moments.

 

[city888]

Matheus Nunes

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Doku. What did he have, three or four touches? Made the difference though O'Reilly was class.

 

[Don Karleone]

And a brain at various moments.

Had one when it mattered today, that'll do for me

 

[micky_blue]

Some great performances but for me Bernardo just edges it, his best game for some time

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

It's O'Reilly's really but I gave it to Nunes just because :)

 

[chris85mcfc]

Nunes, Gvardiol, O Reilly, Kovacic, Bernardo

Take your pick

 

[bearcityblu]

Thought Marmoush was good first half but overall MOTM O'Reilly for his strength, passing and marking of Rashford.

 

[roman totale]

The Oriellyman (again)

 

[Xhavenjoe]

O Reilly.
In the second half he went past at least 3 villa players , knocking them out of his way.
Hit a couple of great first time crosses in, particularly one in the second half that McAtee didn't connect with

 

[ealing blue]

akanji for me . Blinder !

 

[Spanishbob]

Bernardo without a doubt. Ran our midfield brilliantly.

 

[RayCTID]

I normally give it to the match winner but it was a highly mature performance from O'Reilly in a big game.

 

[meltonblue]

Bernardo for me, he was superb.

 

[Frankie lad]

Went O’Reilly but that touch and cross from Doku may just do the job for us.
Well done boys.

 

[Gobshiight]

Fuck it, Nunes

Dunno how he managed to score that while wearing ice skates

 

[PragueBlue]

Nunes, Gvardiol, O Reilly, Kovacic, Bernardo

Take your pick

I did and chose Kovacic. I thought he was excellent again. I sincerely hope we don't let him go.

As you said though, it could have been any of those. O'Reilly played very well at LB, a bit quieter when he moved infield to give Doku space. Best display from Bernardo in a good while, Gvardiol was impressive again and Nunes with the deserved winner. Marmoush had a good first half and ran himself into the ground.

Disappointing displays from Gundogan and KDB. McAtee had a few moments but doesn't quite seem to be able to find a way to get more involved.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

I've always been a Nunes backer, very pleased for him.

As to a mistake that lead to the penalty, well plenty of players make plenty of mistakes, and the outcome was hardly his fault. Awful decision too.

 

[failsworthblueboy]

Nico solid display he keeps the ball and sees things happening, leave him at LB for the rest of the season, next season get him in midfield.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Doku. He won us that game.

O’Reilly, Kovacic, Bernardo, Nunes and Marmoush played well, too.
