Lost in this a little is how brilliant Nathan Baker was and how really good he has become. I always thought he has everything a PL CB would ever want. He's brave, big, strong, reckless at times. What he needed was some intelligence and composure. Well like Clark he's come on leaps and bounds and for him to step in today and play as well as he did is impressive. Playing next to Vlaar in that kind of form also helps a bit but fair dues to him for the improvement he has shown this season.

Absolutely. He's been our most improved player this season, along with Clark, who has also turned into a really solid defender.

Sanchez should not have had to be put in that position, the ref was letting Rose kick his way through two challenges before he was given a bit of his own medicine
The ref was awful. But it's not an excuse. You play to the whistle. It's exactly the sort of challenge Sanchez keeps on trying to make. Sometimes he's a day late and the players well past him. But if he does catch them it's probably going to be a yellow. Sadly it was his second of the game.

How many more posts are you going to make in this thread about Sanchez.  I think you have made your point.

Great win and I am really warming to Sherwood. We can go into the semi final with confidence and not have to worry about the league programme that weekend.

Benteke has been immense in the last few games. He's back to his very best.

What's pleasing is that after a long injury, Nath could slip back in today and carry on playing as well as he was earlier in the season. There might have been a worry he'd slip back into old habits or take a while to settle again. Actually today was probably his best ever performance in a Villa shirt. Aboslutely brilliant and only eclipsed by Ron.

At least it shows that it isn't just Villa players who disappear after a hyped England debut.

One thing is for sure we won't lose at Wembley for a lack of trying to win. In fact that kind of attitude is more likely to get us the result we want.

Thank McGrath Spuds didn't score after he got sent off or heaven knows what you would be saying :)

In trying to get out of Vlaar's back pocket today, he was trampling all over a crumpled up piece of Lionel Messi.

Well deserved.

One more win needed really looking at the Hull and Sunderland results.

I'd appeal the Sanchez red aswell, I don't think that was any more than a yellow personally.

I'm pretty sure it was a 2nd yellow, in which case it can't be appealed.

Vlaar and Baker do play very well as a partnership.
I'm pleased that Baker picked up where he was before his injury.
