Aston Villa 2-0 Norwich City Post Match Thread

[Legion]

I loved it when the fan on the front row of the Lower Trinity threw the ball back on to the pitch as far away from the Norwich player as possible when they'd won a corner in the last few minutes.

I've seen us win a match in person for the first time this season!

Me too ! First league win of the season for me . Was still on holiday for Bournemouth away and car broke down and lost wallet with season tickets in on day of Palace at home .

[Mister E]

Agreed. Solid and unspectacular.


EDIT: what the hell was I responding to ?!

Yes..I think a few thousand others did as well.

[Mister E]

Ha ha. In this case RL = real life. Which I strongly suspect was obvious.....

RL = Rugby League. You? Lizz?!

First half was dire from both sides, but we went in all smiles, so who cares?

Second half we played some good stuff at times once 2-0 up, Gabby was an outlet, worked hard and took his goal well.

Love the Lescott Okore CB pairing, seriously can't have let many goals in this season when those two have played together.

Good win and a much needed one. I'm surprised Norwich didn't score though.

Gabby showed shades of his old self at times which was nice. Another confident performance from Bunn again as well. If there's one criticism though, we were catching them on the break a lot so i'd have put Sinclair on for Gil.

I'd like to see Norwich stop up. We'll beat Newcastle so hopefully they'll go back above them.

I thought Liz's other half had forced her to watch Rugby League.

Good result and fighting spirit but far too much passing backwards especially in middle 3rd of the pitch. I would introduce basketball and make the players learn to move and think faster just to develop teamwork. Gaby had done well and probably his best game for a while. He seem to thrive when he is main man and no competition. But where there is competition he doesn't seem to be hungry enough to fight for it to win his place back.  Shame about the weather.

It was a little kid as well!  Got a little standing ovation from those around him.

I thought in the first half today, a lot of the sideways and backwards passing was a result of Richards and Cissokho being our main attacking outlets.  Neither are going to beat players so were forced backwards nearly every time.

I thought she was royally legless (again).

Honest opinion was there was no lack of effort but no much quality on display. Bacuna is awful. Okore and Lescott have a good partnership going now, not sure why it's taken Lescott so long but they're both strong, one good in the air and the other has some pace. Gabby, I give him a lot of stick but he did alright today. Bunn is not good enough. Happy for everyone tonight that we've got another win on the board. No matter how we do it let's keep things ticking over and see what happens.

Obvious? Only for those who are from Venus.
