Aston Villa 1 Knuckledraggers crawl back under their stones 0 Post match thread.

Well first half was awful, much better second half.

Veretout, Ayew, Grealish (what was he doing on the bench in the first half) all to start surely at Anfield.?

Still not convinced we'll be winning many games at premier league level with the personnel we have in key areas but maybe a point at Anfield if we defend well.

Surely Gabby is finished as a starter now. Not before time.

He scores against Blues, he scores against Blues, Rudy Gestede, he scores against Blues.

[D.boy]

Yes, that is all.

[PaulWinch again]

Great to get a win and see Ayew do well. Now my stream was atrocious so how did Veretout get on?

[Deano's Mullet]

Gestade equals Kevin Phillips for cult status now regardless of what else he does in a Villa shirt. Much better second half thanks to two decent substitutions. Grealish is a delight to watch, Ayew looked quite good and Veretout was impressive. Credit to Blues but they weren't good enough to cope when we raised our game. Its amazing what you can do when you start passing the ball round. We move on now while they can carry on obsessing over us until the next meeting.

Much better 2nd half, for once the subs worked, Jack and Ayew were excellent.

[LTA]

Shocking first half, but much better in the second.  Lescott and Agbonlahor should not start at the weekend.

[mrfuse]

well played Sherwood he set out the first half to play them at there own game then played football 2nd half.

[Taylor]

Who is this new Jordan Ayew? Thought he was fantastic.

[LTA]

Gestade equals Kevin Phillips for cult status now regardless of what else he does in a Villa shirt.

Steady on.  That's the sort of small time rubbish those idiots come up with. 

[Bad English]

I only saw from 68 minutes onwards. I was impressed (but aware that the Rags are fucking shite)/

[brontebilly]

Guzan 6, Bacuna 6, Richards 6, Lescott 4, Amavi 6, Veretout 6, Westwood 6, Gabby 4, Sinclair 5, Gestede 6 - Ayew 9, Grealish 9

Hutton and Sanchez needed back in, not sure about Sinclair maybe Richardson as a third midfielder instead for the weekend

[Vegas]

Get in, really good in second half, Grealish is a legend, and this team will come together. We said give it time, let's give it time.

[SamTheMouse]

Shocking first half, but much better in the second.  Lescott and Agbonlahor should not start at the weekend.

Sad to say it, but I don't think Gabby should start for us ever again. He's not a good enough footballer and no longer has the sheer acceleration that used to be his only real strength.

[ROBBO]

I think TS was hoping to rest Grealish and save him for Liverpool, remember it was the sty we were playing so not getting too wxcited.
