Best Villa have played this season I think. The key is off the ball: we haven't stood off, we've pressed them, not stopped pressing as the half has gone on and kept working the ball short. There are still frustrations, still unnecessary hoofing, but Heskey is playing well enough in the role he should be playing (here's the clue: it's not the Beckenbauer role) that we're getting enough of the ball to play our football. This is much better.
Oopht, that was close though.
