Sunderland v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Colhint]

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.

Sorry to be a pedant but there's no e in Vlaark. Agree with the rest of your post though

Sports Report headline: "Martin O'Neill's Sunderland are beaten by his former club, Aston Villa."  Oh, dear.

"Oh dear"?  "Fan-fucking-tastic" more like.

Commiserations to Davey who seems a top bloke. I hate to say this for you, but don't expect it to get much better under MON.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Good result, well done lads.

A couple of astute signings in January (midfielder, winger) and we could be on the up and up.

How do you like those apples O'Neill?
You scum sucking, low life piece of shit.

Get used to the booing, you are going to hear a lot more of it.

Big win that. I cant be arsed to debate the particulars at the minute. Time to pop the tea on and crack open the wine.

Superb three points, just triffick

[WarszaVillan]

Very impressed with Westwood and Benteke.

He can spot a player that Lambert can't he

[ktvillan]

3 much need points, a clean sheet and a league goal for Gabby.  Can't complain.  Impressed with Westwood, and Benteke looked very good.   Gabby for me is much more use away from home where his pace is useful for attacking from deep.  Not sure why Ireland is getting a slagging again, he screws things up at times but he also makes things happen in the final third.  We look much better going forward with Bannan, Ireland and Weimann in the team for me.

Good performance. Should have been more comfortable.

I'll be less worried if we're not in the bottom three at the end of November.

The next three look very difficult.

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert: "I thought the lads were fantastic. They are a team that deserves credit. They have had their knocks in the last two years. We were down to the bare bones and there were some real good performances from them. I'm proud of them. I thought we deserved to win."

Well said sir.
