As I said a while ago on some other thread, this is the first time we have seen our full backs playing with a properly functioning CB pair. They've  effectively just had three clean sheets so I wouldn't be inclined to tinker.

Well done Bacuna. He must have some backbone to move on from last season.

It's a well known fact that we as humans are slow to praise but quick to anger so, if the lad has turned it round he will see that the Villa supporters will back him all the way.  Well done Leandro, keep it up.

On that basis you could never praise any player

I've never understood the vitriol towards him. I just thought he wasn't good enough

I think that he should be commended for sticking at it after the stick he has taken but I wouldn't go overboard about his performance today. It was okay but I find his lack of movement off the ball very annoying. He could be doing so much more.

Looks good at this level. Westwood looks duff at any level.

I've always thought he looks best at right back, where he can just run up and down, accept there ball in front of him, and not have to play '360 degree football'

Encouraging he's looking good in midfield. Will take a lot for me to think he can do it in the premier but that's not a problem for today

Playing Bacuna ahead of them to do the running is the only way that a midfield of Gardner and Jedi can work

I still think he's best position is right back. The stick he got last season was fucking ridiculous.
