Watching Villa now you can see the difference with the passing and movement. You know that every player Lambert wants, that player can be comfortable on the ball and he would have been watched alot before he is purchased.
We are not going to get random signings anymore (Heskey, Harewood) or players who just might be available unless that player has been watched regularly and we know how he plays.
I love Villa at the moment, we will have off days and sometimes it is not going to work however you can see so clearly there is a massive plan evolving under Lambert.

Clean sheet, looked really comfortable and the third goal was pure entertainment.

Well comfortably through with hopefully no injuries and some cracking goals. Now we just need to take the defence through to the PL and get rid of that unwanted record of games since a clean sheet.

At times we looked brilliant, at times we looked sloppy, at times we looked labored. Never looked like losing though. The impetus went with the subs, but Helenius and Tonev worked hard. If you take 3 players with the quality of Delph, Gabby and Benteke out of any team, they are going to be much poorer for it.
Job done and I really enjoyed watching us play.

Top finish for the first, great cross and header for the second and the third was a bit special (KEA was superb in the build up to it and the final ball from Benteke was perfect). Very easy win but did it in some style, think we could've scored a lot more but we seemed to just want to keep it neat and compact once we got the third.

Jed Steer - one game, one clean sheet. Can't really see how Guzan can force his way back in.
I still have a nipple on from that third goal. The first two weren't bad either.

Good point, thoroughly agree.

If that third goal isn't the best goal we score this season then we're in for something very special.

We all have to remember it is still early in the season and there are going to be mistakes or passages of play that are disjointed. But when we score goals like our third you realise how far we've come, where we are going and that not many teams will be able to do that. Certainly not many of those teams expected to finish below 6th

Three quality goals, a clean sheet and no apparent injuries. Onwards and upwards!

Manu - Pool in the cup, so we can now get past the 4th round.
