Aston Villa v Arsenal Post Match Thread

[Drummond]

Smith made a number of tweaks and changes to our formation and tactics today as well. Something people have said he wasn't capable of. Which is nice.

Sod coronavirus, watching Villa just took 20 years off thousands of middle aged blokes.

😂.
Absolutely right. I haven’t felt so sick as I have for the last 4 and half hours.

When they hit the post and Reina fumbled, I aged 10 years.

Mission impossible is fucking on.

Well done boys, and deserved too.

[Somniloquism]

MMMMM Just saw the interview with Jack, I wished he hadn't answered that question.

Tbh he is gone whether we win lose or draw however if his last act is adding a second in a win a Sunday I will be happy.

Ok ,what did he answer?

Was asked if that was his last game in a villa shirt at villa park..

he said, he's honestly not sure and he only has one goal at the moment and that's to keep the club up.

Save a thought for us old 'uns, we 'aint got twenty years!

[Des Little]

I really enjoyed that. He lied.

Fucking brilliant lads, now finish the job on Sunday

[TonyD]

Great team performance. 

We were down.  But have managed to claw our way back in contention.

Wot Jack really said is if we stay up I’m staying.   

And Davis will come good and score goals for fun next season. 

[AsTallAsLions]

Have to hold my hands up. Davis effort aside, that was a brilliant, brilliant team performance.

Hats off to the defence for the most unlikely of shut-outs tonight. Arsenal had 67% possession but less shots than us - says a huge amount.

[PaulWinch again]

It was a terrific effort.

[VillaBoy_23]

That’s the kind of performance that makes them fit to wear the shirts. Fantastic effort all round although I nearly passed out when Reina fumbled the ball off the post. One more game to go. UT f’n V!!!!

[wince]

One more just one more. And hope the other 2 teams fuck up royally. Just a thought, and don’t want to jinx anything but ......fuck it I wont jinx things

[Toronto Villa]

If we showed this much bottle and resilience and application all season we'd be nowhere near the bottom 3. It's really all Sheff Utd have done and built off it. We've tossed away so many points from exactly the same siutation as tonight. We should really be talking tonight about doing the double over Arsenal if you think about it. Delighted that we have it all in our own hands now. Have to finish this off.

[Somniloquism]

For once in what feels the last 20 years, Arsenal have done us a favour. I hope they follow it up with a second on Sunday and score a couple of early ones to take the pressure off. And at Everton as well.  I don’t want it going into the last 10 minutes with one goal at any of the matches being decisive.

[Nii Lamptey]

Didn’t think we had a snowballs chance in hell, but well done to every single one of em, even Dean!

Fought like lions, and now we’re in the driving seat, come Sunday.
Couple of points... wish Targett would press the crosses a little tighter and am I right in thinking that is the FIRST game this season where both Grealish and McGinn have both been on song?
