Aston Villa v Manchester City Post-Match Thread

[not3bad]

We contained them in the first half without doing much ourselves but then got stuck in in the second half.  Great stuff Villa!  Big credit to Delph and Bacuna.  Bowery also did his part when he came on.  A win without Benteke and Agbonlahor will help confidence across the squad.

How did Big Dutch Ron get on?  I really really want him to be good but im not convinced he actually is.

Has there been a goal like Weimann's since Andy Lochhead against Shrewsbury in 71-72? Keeper kicks it, forward sinks it.

It's funny but that was the goal I was thinking of, this evening, as well!

Dean Saunders vs Middlesbrough and QPR 1992-93 season both come to mind, both from long goal kicks, the QPR goal flicked on by Dalian.
Julian Joachim vs Derby County 1996 (?), Oakes goal kick and flicked on by Tommy Johnson for JJ to score.

He played well and we were pleased to see him spending so much time chatting to some young fans over an hour after the game. Everyone else had gone but he took the time to do it. He looks really happy to be at the club and that will do for me.

Vlaar was excellent, held his position better, which has been his weakness.  Clark was excellent again as well (I think Clark has been our best defender this season) and Baker was only a touch behind them both ( I think he could've done better for their 2nd and he gave away a few corners needlessly).

That is good to know. The team spirit seems excellent and that is great to see. He seems happy at the club and lets hope he continues to improve.

David Platt attacking the North scored one. Keeper kicks it, Platt beats non existent defence and scores

Thinking about it, Tony Daley on the volley vs Man City in 1991 was from a goal kick.

A few legends mentioned there.

heres the JJ goal

Did Gabby score one against Everton or Charlton from a Carson kick? I remember him bringing the ball down superbly and slotting it in.
