Aston Villa PL (H) | Man of the Match

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Kovacic for me.

 

[Sky Blue]

Bernardo. Hope he stays.

 

[OB1]

Bernardo was City’s best player today.

Constantly involved and played with such intelligence.

 

[Zabaleta5]

Doku match winner again

 

[langy]

O'Reilly very consistent

 

[denTTony]

Kovacic, another good game from Oreilly and Gvardiol

 

[Saddleworth2]

Bernie was everywhere. Nobody worked harder or made more passes. The two fullbacks were also very good. Nice goal for Nunes.

 

[Barrowby Blue]

O Reilly. He really is the real deal.

 

[Ashton Moss Messi]

Pulling my hair out at Nunes Bambi on Ice slips for 90 minutes or would have given him my vote.
Rationale being that in the future we'll look back and say do you remember when Nunes scored last minute versus Villa?
But Nico closed off the left back space with Josko at his side and then always seemed there or thereabouts supporting the midfield and attack.
Nico for me.
Great assist from The Count.

 

[Jack74]

The geezer from Faulty Towers feel a bit bad on not giving it Bernardo ( class )

 

[kun]

Nico O'Reilly for me. Closely followed by Bernardo Silva.

Marmoush and Doku also had a great impact and deserve an honourable mention.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

O’ Reilly - fantastic performance

 

[jollylescott]

Nico. Again!

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Tough choice for once, though Kova, Bernardo, O'Reilly and Josko were all class. Went with Kovacic, put in a right shift and moved the ball with pace and purpose.

 

[borassic]

Thought more people would have gone for Josko or Kovacic. They were both outstanding. I’m not Croatian …

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Nico by a country mile for me. What a player we have on our hands. Big shout also to Nunes for not slipping over before he scored :)

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Gone for Nunes because he's come in for a lot of criticism and he deserved that moment because he's been solid these last few weeks.

That said, think Bernardo hardly put a foot wrong and put a hell of a shift in. I think people underestimated the pressing intensity Alvarez added to our team last year, and I suspect we might find the same again if Bernie leaves. Running around and pressing like fuck for 100 minutes isn't going to win you fans, but our shape and success is built on players like him.

 

[OB1]

Bernie was everywhere. Nobody worked harder or made more passes. The two fullbacks were also very good. Nice goal for Nunes.

What a discerning gent you are :)

 

[mind your car Mr?]

thought it was bernado's best game for a long time but the sooner we get a left back and get Oreily in midfield where he can flourish the better, he was a close second

 

[SWPISHOME]

I went for Doku, He basically won us the game.
