Stumbled across this, thought some may find it interesting

I couldn't make it past the implicit claim that the Charity Shield was more significant than the League. Daft sausages.

However much you might care or not care about this competition I think a win tonight was very important to boost our confidence, especially as the win came against another Premier League club.

Do we get a bye if Wolves go bust before the next round?

Just heading out ofBrighton now. Quite literally men against boys. We totally dominated midfield in a way I can’t quite remember seeing in 35 yrs of watching Villa. Thought Luiz, Hourihane, McGinn (fist half) and Jack (2nd) were in complete control - which you’d hope they’d be.

Konsa was good, Hause pretty good I thought although didn’t have a good view of their goal.

Davis was the worry - against a youth team he got loads of ball to feet, and was kind of in the game,  but just didn’t have much end product. Also Trez slightly flattered to deceive.

Nice to go to an evening match and be home by 1015. Shame we couldn’t draw Crawley next.

Targett and Jots were pretty good. Trez and Hause not so much. McGinn then Jack stand outs obviously.
Targett was pants I thought in the first half. Redeemed himself in the second half, albeit more for his getting down the line rather than defending. Trez was OK, but end product lacking. Elmo was my MoM.

Why?

4 points from 6 league games using that formation.

Davis looked sharp on that clip.

I would have been disappointed if we could not beat a side containing half their youth team

Onwards and upwards, looking forward to see how we go against a tough Burnley team.

Listened to the WM commentary for the first time in god knows how long and saw the goals on SKy as they went in. It all sounded easy enough apart from the brief scare for their goal.

Well done Villa boys! Some of our great managers (Saunders, Atkinson, Little) never minded a cup run in this competition. Looking forward to seeing how far Deano can go. UTV!

I found it interesting. I only like hearing that Champions of whatever song when it’s sung to so-called ‘bigger’ clubs. Not very classy to the likes of Brighton.
