I wasn't pessimistic going into today but we were better than I expected. The back four were excellent. Cissokho looked so solid and if Hutton keeps that level of performance up I'll forget I ever said anything bad about him.
The midfield and attack all worked hard and did their jobs as well. Richardson looked lively and I think Delph was very good. Encouraging signs as we've got players to come in and scope to improve. My only worry is that one he last two seasons we've looked good away but not performed at home. I might have had to much red stripe but this felt different, though.
Up the Villa!
