" My philosophy is this : 1-0, 2-0 or 5-0 up: never ever settle for it, you must be hungry for more. If you do sit back not only are you inviting the opposition to get back into the game but you are showing them mercy. You have to look at the bigger picture, I don't only want us to destroy our current opponent's. I want to breed fear into our next ones "

God Amighty 👍🏻

in fairness though that's great when it works out but remember the stick Sherwood got when he did the same at Leicester in the 3-2 game

it will happen from time to time and we need to respect the managers actions, obviously Smith is a lot better tactically than Sherwood but the attack philosophy is the same

you can't pick and choose what you want only when it goes right

My theory is that once we have a consistent scoring rate, Nyland will be okay. It's the thought of protecting a 0-0 or a one goal lead that makes him nervous.

That is a very good point. Being the last line of defence and knowing how vulnerable we have been when trying to defend a slim lead is sure to come with pressure, especially when you invite a team to come at you continuously for 40 odd minutes.
Another factor is how the forwards and midfield are now also closing the ball down much higher up the pitch, relieving the pressure also on the back four.

Great win yesterday. Onwards and upwards Villa. Automatic promotion is still there for the taking.

No mention of sleeves rolled up or putting boots on. What an intelligent man. I really enjoy listening to his analysis.

I do wonder what Bruce is making of it all.

"I told everybody we had the nucleus of a great team, we were one match away fro everything falling into place.  Yes, the hot chilli sauce please."

Something like that, probably.

Queuing to get in yesterday, I was behind 3 very smartly dresses Norwegians and two young kids. No Villa colours but said they supported Villa.  I wonder if they were part of Nylands family?

Any standout performances or is this the team's systems and tactics paying dividends?

Best performance since Wolves last season. Thought we were fantastic yesterday and we pinned Derby in the own half for most of the second half. Loved every minute of it.

We were very beatable apparently and didn't show anything 2nd half, we just pounced on three gifts. And we dive a lot.

Good lord.

How refreshing to listen to a manager that understands the game. To have a style of play...which he will change against different teams..To have tactical awareness and change things during a game. A bloody long overdue breath of fresh air. It just makes the wasted years so fuckin annoying but here's to the future now....Come on you villa boys....I'm fuckin loving it again.

The overall style will stay the same, but the tactical tweaks before and importantly durung games are what will make the difference.
