Well you can't really complain when you win 3-2 away to Southampton, and now sit in 10th place on 19 points and a clear 9 points from the relegation zone. Can you?

No.

SVC says we are 2nd in the away form league behind Arsenal.

5 points off 6th place!

I only caught the second half... 23% possession? and we won?  I'll take it, but I don't like it...

KEA has all the tools, why can't he just assert himself on a game over a full 90 minutes?  That cross was magnificent, but he was so laconic on the ball one second before that he almost lost it.

I like the way we toyed with them by pretending we were really shit - hoofing the ball, mis-placing passes, taking throw-ins straight to them etc - when in reality any time we wanted to we could stroll up the other end and score. We only needed to have 3 shots on target to win so that's all we took. That must be really annoying for them

MANAGER REACTION - Southampton 2-3 Aston Villa
Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert: "We were outstanding. The first goal from Gabriel Agbonlahor was world class, but the Fabian Delph strike was even better. The game is not just about Christian Benteke, he is just a young lad."

Never been so glad to be so wrong!

I don't think we were outstanding. But a great win, and as someone pointed out on the match thread, this win is revenge for all the luck they had at Villa Park last year.

Well done Villa

It genuinely do not know what to make of that.

I love this nice one - as an earlier poster said that was payback for VP last season

If we could sort out our home form we'd be top 4 contenders.
