I think we are a pretty good side, barring some iffy play from Wesley at times (hopefully this is a learning curve).

The biggest issue is that we just haven't been able to maintain the required level of performance consistently over 90 minutes. If we can improve on that, I think we'll be fine.

Not worried, plenty of goals in our wingers, midfield and forward. They will come and so will the points, we’re playing well 👍

Don't see plenty of goals tbh. Think McGinn is looking good for double figures and could well be our leading goalscorer this season. The rest look in 5-8 goal bracket to me, yes even Wes.

Could still be enough if we get back to keeping clean sheets.

Appreciate that this looks easier to say after today, but I did post elsewhere about sharing the goals around should Wesley not get too many.

If you say we would need to score roughly 40-45 goals (read somewhere that goals scored correlates quite closely to points gained) then hopefully something like this wouldn’t be unrealistic:

Wesley/Davis/Kodjia - 15-18 goals
El Ghazi/Trezeguet/Jota - 10-12 goals
Midfield - 10-15 goals
Defence - 3-5 goals

I worry about how much we will be fined by UEFA for "Not respecting the Champions League anthem".

Obviously still worried in a literal sense. It's a tough division, and nobody is owed anything - just ask Norwich, going from beating the best team on earth (IMO) to getting trashed by a fellow promotion side at home!

It's a crazy league, and good sides will go down as I've always said. I just feel happy to have a team to be proud of. They showed today they have quality, desire, and a willingness to not stay still but to always strive for more. So happy to be a Villan this evening.

With Manchester United and Spurs looking likely to fill two of the three relegation places I reckon we will be fine.

Thank McGrath we won but another game we didn't do enough v 10 men, it's an itch we really need to scratch going forward.

Going into injury time I think it was one corner and one shot on target in the second half.

I'm worried about the paltry allocation of tickets for next season's Champions League Final.

What I think is interesting is that we're now joint 5th for goal scoring so our problems aren't going forward, despite us looking a bit toothless at times. We just need to learn to be a bit more ruthless. Generally the league starts to take shape after 9-10 games and we're bang in mid-table, pretty much where the vote on here (whichever thread it was) predicted. Today also saw our first goal from a defender, I doubt many would've predicted Targett for that particular stat.
