2-0 lead is always dangerous. Need to keep them quiet early in the second half.

Sorry to add to the Targett pile on but he looks a weak link.

"They're all pointing! Pointing!!" - classic from Keane.

Dropped off so missed the first half.  Nice goals.

[Nii Lamptey]

SJM, Jack, Douglas, Conor.. all playing well. I'm really pleased with Matty Cash, his future is certainly promising.

I've got to say though.. the opposition has to account for Ollie no matter where we're at on the pitch, with or without the ball. Dean is right in saying he is a willing runner. Over the top, through the middle, off the defenders shoulder.. he works his socks off and always put himself in a good position. I hope he bags one today.

Agreed....  effort, pace and ability. Deserves a goal or two today. Chasing everything (and catching most of it!)

Love the way he says "Conor" like "Connagh"

“Villa look like Bayern” 😳😳😂😂

[Mister E]

Shout out for Konsa - looking very solid an assured, even against the beast that is Mitrovic.

[Drummond]

Good first half. Now for 5 a side. Wearing the Diadora ntl: shirt tonight...

[Aldridge Villa]

Two tidy goals apart, a very scrappy game. Dougie not at his June/July performance levels new season to date.

[algy]

I like the look of  Watkins. He gives us a completely different dimension, one that we have lacked for some time. If he keeps going the goals will come.

I think he's great. Creates a load of chances for himself. Really top notch striker.

[Matt C]

So far, so good. Best we’ve seen from McGinn in what, nine months? He’s been excellent.

[The Edge]

A special mention for Alan Smith's commentating skills. Some totally inane comments topped off by his take on Joe Bryan's assault on SJM. "it looked a good tackle to me" The ref promptly books Bryan for clattering McGinn. What a tool Alan Smith is.

[Goldie.7]

Excellent first 45. Watkins needs to calm down, the goals will come.

No replacement LB on the bench is an issue because Targett is a headless chicken. He's the weakest link in this team by miles.

[Big Ming]

Ollie looks a bit tight. Trying to force it. Needs to relax.

Obviously wants to get off the mark in the PL.
