THE MAGNIFICENT ASTON VILLA 2-1 LIVERPOOL FA CUP SEMI FINAL POST MATCH THREAD

[nordenvillain]

Watched the game in The Horse & Farrier, Norden, Rochdale with my son and his girlfriend  along with a roomful of Scouser fans. After the City v West Ham game finished being shown on another screen, we were joined by various fans of the Manchester blue & red persuasion. It's fair to say that by the end, mates of mine of the Manchester teams joined us to cheer us to the end. The Scousers were very complimentary at the end. BUT - We did it, best performance at Wembley since 1957, and yes I can remember that game,  I have seen. Okore settled down after a very shaky start. I cannot fault one player, they all gave their utmost but Delph was a colossus. The passing game that we are playing now suits the players we have. Without any doubt, this was Cleverley's best game for us. Wembley here we come !!

P.S We have 2 bottles of red wine to enjoy with our dinner. Safe journey to all the great Villa supporters there today.

Oh Villa you put years on me you really do.With 5 mins to go i was praying we would not concede what seems like our usual late goal When Mario put it into the net i went from despair to elation in a few seconds.I have seen the goal now quite a few times and he was onside .Our name is on that cup!

Fucking hell. What a day that was.

Sat on the halfway line in the Club Wembley seats so pretty much equidistant from both sets, and our fans were just awesome.

A couple of minutes from the end there was a roar of encouragement which was so loud it was honestly like nothing I have heard at a match in years.

A real "moment"

Of his own making? Steve Lomas type effort?


Just watched the BBC highlights back. Jonathon Pearce, on the final whistle said as Westwood won the ball, it is fitting the game ends with the exceptional Westwood winning it again. He was right. Cleverley and Westwood with their continuous work allowed the ones in front to play. Thought as a midfield unit it was one of the best I have seen from Villa in a long time.

Bloody brilliant today!

I didn have a great feeling about today going into it, but we dominated them. The response after conceding against the run of play was excellent, with a very well worked goal.

Grealish looked mature beyond his years, Delph and Cleverley excellent, while Benteke bullied them.

Great noise from our lot too.

I find it interesting that Westwood, who it was being reported by none other than James Nursey was about to be sold in the summer, not only returns to the fold for the cup SF but plays a blinder. Strategically a brilliant move by Sherwood and staff to counter Liverpool's midfield.

The support got them over the line today I don't doubt - they were dead on their feet in the last 10 minutes and it made all the difference.

Are you not entertained?

Is it this one?

Although in fairness my first thought on this one was where is Senderos? Hutton, Sanchez, Gabby and Clark all there despite not playing. Where is Senderos?
