Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Match Thread

I suspect he is one of those players who can be inconsistent and frustrating but I am liking Traore more game by game.

[Edvard Remberg]

We are good,  right?

[Risso]

Well on top here. A second would be nice.

[Risso]

El Ghazi is looking very good indeed.

El Ghazi started great today. Need to kept pulling the slow Palace backline all over the place.

Villa are a joy to watch

They are, love this team, quality all over the pitch.

Up to 6th at the moment.

Looking good so far so hoping they keep up the tempo and slot another soon

[Edvard Remberg]

This team is one of the best to watch as I can remember

[Astral Weeks]

If we get a second soon, we'll give this lot a proper seeing to.

Ollie's movement is fantastic today.

I have no idea how you have this stat, but we are the top side in the PL in terms of "pressing". But lets say that's true. What an improvement that is the side we saw last year where we stood off teams and were carved open all too often. It not only suggests tactically improvements but just a belief and togetherness we haven't seen in a long time at the club.

Its the "front-foot football" we were promised 2.5 years ago. I think it just took a couple of windows to get the recruits up to the task. An absolute pleasure to watch.

One of first games we aren't playing through jack

Brilliant from Traore, unlucky.
