Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Post Match Thread

Benteke was frustrated - partly his own fault, he was poor and in general he wasn't aggressive enough.

He's finished now.

It's difficult to move about with your pockets full of wedges of notes.

Too little, too late

Too little, too late

You're a little ray of sunshine !

Our balance was so much better once a proper RB came on. And Elmo gave them loads to think about down the right.

Too little, too late

That’s the never say die spirit!

Second half was best half in the league since first half at Burnley.

Too little, too late

Don't care it's good to win a bloody football match.

Too little, too late

You might be right, but fuck me just enjoy the win.

Aye that’s true enough!

I agree on Elmo, I think he struggles to play every game now (and he was fucked with about 15-20 to go) but having a right back who can get forward and whip dangerous balls in is so important, with him and Guilbert I'm pretty happy with the right back options. On the other side I'd like to see Taylor replaced, he's not a terrible defensive player but he's just awful in the opposition half.

I do like Konsa though, I'd like to see him in the holding role in midfield, I think he's a good tidy player.

When I saw Trez in the line up - I decided on a long family walk rather than 2 more hours of misery.

Maybe I should find somewhere to walk on Thursday evening.

Well done Villa and Trez.

So nice to not feel pissed off after a game.Trez played like he was trying to prove a point, so well done.
For the first time in ages we have something to take into the next game. We kept it alive but I don’t trust this set up to stay up, at least we showed some fight.

[Clampy]

The best we have played for a while. We looked more confident, looked up for it and at times, played some half decent stuff.

What’s this sensation I’m feeling.......it’s happiness! I’m gonna make the most of it and pray, to any Gods that are listening, that it continues for the next three matches
