Livermore is a total tw*t.
McGinn is back!!
Watkins will be a serious scorer in time.
Targett looks relaxed, confident and competent.

Villa look like an accomplished Premier League side.


Still not convinced about Targett, lost it a couple of times today which lead to.a break for them

Jack in the middle is key to us creating far more opportunities.

Keep him there.

The most one sided game of the weekend... Yes we never scored 7, but from the word go, we were on top.... the Man Ure v Dirty Leeds + the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' game will be highlighted more than our game on MOTD...
Is it actually on MOTD? The next one's the Boxing Day special, from what I can find.

Still dropping him as soon as Barkley is healthy, but fair play to Traore; his goal was very nice.

What a massive transformation compared to last season.

Sure does. I just love the attacking intent in every game. Final ball just needs some work particularly when teams defend in numbers like tonight.

Poor Oli. I just don’t celebrate anymore but even with his goal I eventually celebrated as we were lining up for the kick off. And then....

Jack was superb tonight. What a pleasure to watch him. His runs with the ball are just sublime. Needs to just work on the final ball occasionally but what a Player. We are lucky to have him

Congrats Bertie. What a finish. Anwar could have had 4 himself but really looking good now.

I've been waiting most of the last forty years for a Villa team that plays like this one. Loving it, loving it, loving it. Been sat here with a huge cheesy grin on my face for two hours.

Superb performance tonight, Johnstone MOM for them, which says it all. Well on top even before the sending off. Superb Jack, AEG, SJM but think I'd give MOM to Bertie, his goal just class.

Richard Keys blithering on about Hause not being sent off, a moot point but he kept bringing it up the fat Coventry nonce.

What’s that?  46 shots in two games and only three goals.
Smith out!
🤣🤣

Didn’t see these figures happening last year!

Hause got a bit lucky not to walk. It doesn't look good at all in replays.

I get the feeling we’re really going to smash some team soon.

Actually I remember saying that in the Lambert years, which was probably very wishful thinking.

Its an absolute pleasure watching us play. Watching with a smile on my face again. Traore MOM for me but I feel for Watkins, even with the lines that was never offside
