Man of the Match Aston Villa PL (H)

[Jimmy Ives]

Rodri was a beast tonight. Controversy aside, he was the difference.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Im a bit torn on this one. Phil was great. Cancelo and Rodri were very good and our central defenders were solid again. However, because of his overall influence on the game and the way he kept driving us forward I’m going for Gundo.

 

[blueparsman]

Dias was a giant

 

[bugsyblue]

I would have given you a like but you shouldn’t have slagged him off in the first place

Okay top blue.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Gundogan again for me. Everyone played well but he exerts such control. Foden was damn near unplayable and god knows what a fit and firing Kun would do on the end of a performance like that.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Can I just say when so many of our players could take the award, you realise just what a tough game that was.

Personally I gave it to Gundog - he was everywhere and absolutely immense. Again.

But I could easily have gone for Phil, or Cancelo, or Dias or Bernie.

 

[PragueBlue]

Foden first half, Bernardo second half. Went for Bernardo due to the goal.

 

[kun]

Tough one. Dias and Stones once again imperious. Cancelo brilliant, Gündogan, KDB, Bernardo all excellent. I’ve gone with Foden though, an absolutely constant threat down the left and showed some gorgeous touches of the ball. Should have had himself a goal but yet another great performance from the boy wonder.

 

[oldius]

Most touches - Most duels won - Most ball recoveries - Most aerial duels won - Most tackles - Most clearances - Rodri.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

A lot of very good performances.

Foden was phenomenal, a coming of age performance, he is looking ready physically to play week in week out.

If we’d had a natural striker in the first half he may well have got a couple of assists.

Excellent team performance, slightly worried by Raz and Gabby who look out of sorts.
