Aston Villa v Norwich- Post Match Thread

[olaftab]

Tonight I've also seen some of the poorest excuses to avoid praising the team I've ever read. We won 4-1. Be happy.

I was expecting levico toncome on and say something nice but perhaps he is still down at VP waiting for Lambert's autograph!

On twitter I have seen some Villa fans who are openly disappointed we won. The usual accompanying phrases "papers over cracks", "doesnt solve the real problem".

Honestly I dont understand the point of being a fan if you cant enjoy a nice 4-1 home win.

neither do I.

Unfortunately Villa attracts some absolute planks to supporter websites.

Frankly a second half of comfortable formality and barely breaking sweat (except for Holty who, bless him, looked like he'd played the full 90 at full pelt by the time the final whistle went) is something I'd like to see more of. Norwich were fecked all second half and barely threatened. We still had a few half decent breakaways but again, we saw the game out without having to expell a great deal of energy in the second half.
Job done. 4-1.

More of that please.

You'll see the very same thing on here once Chelsea and City beat us. "Apart from a flukey 20 minutes against Norwich..."

Why do I suddenly feel like Eccles?

With the exception of Guzan we started with every player looking like they were going to have a mare. Benteke really turned it all around. It's amazing what how a goal out of the blue can turn one team into a confident set of strollers whilst reducing the other to a quivering wreck.

[Isa]

I didn't see that, unless passing the ball backwards and sideways is a performance.
I thought the game showed his lack of pace, strength, tackling, heading shooting and crossing ability.
He did not create a chance, did not make a tackle.

It will flabbergast you to learn that he made the most tackles in the game with six then. He has also made more successful tackles than any other Villa player this season.

More like bentekes autograph - he was the one who turned the game on its head after a dreadful start - confidence grew from there .

Anyone any more info on the lambert altercation with fan(s) behind dugout ?

What's gone on? I missed that.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Villa 8/1 to be winning at half time after the Norwich goal.
Ker fuckin ching.

They mentioned it on the radio commentary just after one of the goals. Someone got lifted.

[MONCABA]

Some negativity around at the moment. But surely, this result must lift some of it. I'll take 4 Villa goals in either half, if it means we pick up all 3 points.

I can just imagine what would have happened if we'd gone out looking for more goals and got caught on the break within five minutes.

This is it. The thinking needed to be keep it tight for 15 minutes up to the hour mark, so we don't concede and see a momentum shift with some nerves kicking in.

It turned out that we should have probably scored in that time with Gabby's header, but we had effectively squeezed the life out of the game by then and Norwich looked forlorn. They had a 10 minute spell where they kept the ball but couldn't break us down as we would snuff them out any time they approached the final third.

We would have all like more goals, but at 4-1, having put another big dent into Norwich's goal difference and thereby making it an effective 4 point gap, why bother risking what you have achieved?
