Sunderland v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Westwood & Benteke were fantastic today.

[johncvilla88]

6 shots on target to there 1 I think the results deserved!

[Summers]

Guzan, Lowton, Clark, Vlaar, Westwood, Bannan, Benteke..

All fantastic, with the rest not far behind.

Great win, fucking delighted.

[Witton Warrior]

Sweet!

Reckoned we would win this but still sweating

Drinks of celebration tonight not to forget ;-)

[ozzjim]

Had to win too with the other scores

[HK Villan]

Great result, now please always play like that!  (Or better)

[SamTheMouse]

1 shot on target for Sunderland. Another set of fans have their media-driven illusions about St Martin cruelly dispelled. HA-fucking HA.

Westwood & Benteke were fantastic today.

Yep they really were.  Impressed with Bannan too, his work rate and tracking back especially.

[Dan England]

My stream kept freezing in injury time. The last four minutes took 10 mins of nerves, panic and excitement! GET IN YOU BEAUTIES!

[TaxDodger]

I fucking love Gabby.

[Matt Collins]

Fantastic. We needed that sooo much!

Pretty good performance I thought. Clark, Westwood, Bannan, Benteke all excellent I thought. Ireland had a class second half after a disappointing first

Lowton is a real threat going fwds. Not sure about him defensively / positionally though.

Guzan 6
Lowton 7
Vlaar 7
Clark 8
Lichaj 5 (Stevens 5)
Westwood 8
Bannan 7
Weimann 6
Ireland 7
Gabby 7
Benteke 8

[Toronto Villa]

we won that by a mile despite what the scoreline reads. Lucky for us we're playing Sunderland and they are awful. We have to be more clinical. Still absolutely delighted to get the win. Benteke was terrific. Really splendid.

[CJ]

Brilliant. Thought all the team played well - solid in defence against the predictable aerial onslaught. Benteke was superb up front today

[Monty]

Westwood and Bannan were excellent in the middle, and can only get better. Ireland was really not good first half but was a threat in the second on the break and worked harder. Vlaarke were superb, Guzan imperious, Lowton very assured, Lichaj a bit of a bombscare (Stevens looked competent when he was on) and Agbonlahor and Weimann never stopped working, the former deserving his goal.

As for Benteke - I love him. We've really got some player on our hands there.

This from the Sunderland Message Board: "I dont understand why were persisting with the same shit game plan."

Better get used to it son.
