The other thing with Sanchez, he made a great interceptionin our box on about 70-75 mins where he did really well to get back in and spot the danger. Yes it was a clumsy challenge and yes he gave the ball away a few too many times but giving him a 4 out of 10 is taking the piss, no one in a villa shirt today deserves less than a 7, it was a good team performance away at a side who have scored a lot of goals at home recently and have a very good home record. For me it was 7s and 8s all round except Benteke and Vlaar who'd both get 9s.1 more thing, when Sanchez got his first yellow the ref held up 5 fingers and at the time I couldn't think of a free kick given against him for a tackle before that. Looking through the live feed on BBC backs that up, it was the 3rd free kick against him but the other 2 are listed as handballs, harshly done by in my opinion, the tackle itself wasn't a booking and the totting up that the ref suggested as the reason doesn't add up either. Seems like he's been booked on reputation to me.

Also, now that he has more passing options ahead of him, Cleverley finally looks a player.A brilliant away performance, and I'm warming to Sherwood more and more. He may be far from the finished article, but he's articulate and positive, and the team look like they know what they're meant to be doing.This sums up Sherwood for me too.

Say what you will about Doug but fair play to the old boy he ever misses a game home or away.
