Aston Villa vs Sunderland Post-Match Thread

[ExclDawg]

Fuck.

How did we throw that away.

(for the benefit of paulie and others who chose to sit this one out)

Didn't so much as look until a few minutes ago.

That's what I earned us.

Staying away till next season now!

Didn't the Orange Dot make an appearance pre-match too?

[mattjpa]

this will have to be the most positive post match thread in the history of H&V. Times like this make evrything worthwhile. What an absolute joy of a match...Fucking well done boys

[MarkM]

First game I've missed in 3 years

Bastards!

Wow.
That was fantastic. We tore them to ribbons. We attacked with such pace and skill at times. It could have been 10.
Tekkers was a menace. Wiemann was unlucky not to get another. Gabby grabbed a well deserved goal.
Westy was superb all game. Delph too. The full backs were excellent. Our centre backs were pretty poor first half but we got on the front foot quickly after our 2nd and never let up. Attack was the best form of defence.

Sylla looked a different player 2nd half. He didn't seem that confident on the ball first half. Made good challenges but not much else. 2nd half he looked a proper player. Used the ball very well. Also credit for Bent. He came on and was quite unselfish with the ball. Used it well, got involved in attacks.

Difficult to choose a MOM. Teks is an obvious candidate but the full backs and Westy run him close.

Great win. Goal difference looks healthier, and we go into the Norwich game looking very good. I want some consistency now. We have to keep this up because we could rip them apart.

Best new song from the Holte End "We're Aston Villa. We're taking the piss."

[ozzjim]

Benteke - brilliant, awesome, majestic, unplayable.
Weimann - brilliant, energetic, deadly
Lowton - brilliant, up and down like a dynamo, superb
Bennett - brilliant, left foot like a wand, best game for the club

Good lad Risso, good lad.


Can I add


Vlaar.... fucking concentration of a goldfish

[darren woolley]

Get in there brilliant what a performance well done lads roll on Norwich.

[neo_Villan]

On the downside, we did have our usual bad half were we only won the first 2-1. Think Lambert needs to f**k right off now!

[ozzjim]

The best right back display from a Villa player since John Gidman.

He, and Bennett, deserve a lot of credit

[citizenDJ]

You know that Beneteke fella might be one to watch out for you know.

Pffft. Some unknown from Belgium, when we've got Darren Bent? Waste of money.

[Richard C]

I'm quite emotional after that.

[paulcomben]

Now, do not let that lead to complacency at Norwich, where a win would see us safe.

[TopDeck113]

Tonight righted an awful of the season's wrongs.  Stay focussed, win at Norwich and then we can all relax.

[Jimbo]

Magnificent.
