Aston Villa (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[kupest]

Great performance, not sure where the moaning came from in the match thread. We were much better and the old guard justified their selection. Pep got the XI right and there will be a lot of posters on the prematch/match threads eating humble pie.

Fuckinhell i thought we was playing Villa not Arsenal
Sky fucked up then putting that up ha1ha!

Happy for the win, happy for Nunes, for Doku and O'Reilly but in a completely boring and predictable and no creating performance from us tonight... it's the end of this team, i don't know how many of those players wouldn't be here next season but Pep has a lot to do for rebuild the team....i don't think we can win any trophy under this performance now... would be an interesting summer....

Huge rebuild ahead no doubt but I don't think the performance was near as boring and predictable as you make out, second half particularly. McAtee should probably have scored and came close with a superb effort. Marmoush a yard offside and could have scored a header first half. Thought intensity second half was not our best but much more like us in comparison to earlier in the season.

Job done! Pep got it right, bore them into submission and then punish them late on. Plenty of fresh legs for Forest this weekend too.

Huge win, and deserved. Ref was fucking shocking.

 

[Lord Blue]

Going to put my hands up and admit that I was a tad nervous that we only had 2 natural defenders out there. But they didn’t let us down.

 

[The Blue Eh]

Massive win but playing with Gundogan is like playing with ten men.

Great finish by Nunes and probably the only time he didn’t fall over all game.

 

[Gazza]

Doku yet again, direct with pace works! Fucking hate villa

It was the first time that they didn't double up on him.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Message to the lad who said his girlfriend's united supporting mrs. took the piss by telling him that Doku was shit, hope you just give her a cheeky smile when you next see her mate.

Yeah, he's proper shit isn't he :)

Get in Nunes!

Happy with that win

 

[eyalluvitt]

Pep said to Dick Emery at HT in Spanglish “we do like Germany v Austria in World Cup”
Then did him dirty on 92.20

 

[paulsimpson]

Jeremy Doku is the man.
What a pass!
Nunes gets into the box and brilliantly takes his chance.
Fantastic ending to a tense last 10 minutes.
We beat a very good Villa side tonight. It'll give us confidence for the weekend.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Buzzing. BUZZING. 93.24 has a certain Deja vu about it. Just brilliant. Was awaiting the sucker punch from another terrible decision from the awful ref to screw us. But no. Huge result and huge high to take to Wembley. Get in!!

 

[bearcityblu]

Who knew Doku had an end product in him ! Great cross for the goal, get in City. Massive 3 points and good to see Martinez leaving with nothing after all his time wasting and trying to wind up the crowd.

Huge win, and deserved. Ref was fucking shocking.

Lol

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Apalling penalty decision, so on that basis, the win was well deserved.

I think we're safe for top five now some of the rivals have to play each other, I don't see five teams finishing above us, four at most.

 

[gray740]

Villa got just what they deserved out of that sweet fuck all.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Massive win. Villa are the form team in the bunch. We're still not firing on all cylinders but wins are slowly racking up. This will go to the wire.

 

[flapjack]

Did I mention that Given is gutted hahaha

Add him to the long list of bitter ex players

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Being able to grind out results like that while at our worst is a pretty good sign.

 

[mike1923]

Martinez will be fuming when he finishes this goal kick and sees the result

 

[The perfect fumble]
