The Magnificent Aston Villa 3-0 Crystal Palace Post Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Decent display overall I suppose. Should have scored 10, only scored 3. Dean Out. Ollie Out.

[manic-road]

Fantastic result and performance, wouldn’t know it was Villa that spent the second half a man down.

[PaulWinch again]

Exceptional. Absolutely brilliant second half. So many top performances. Just exceptional.

[Legion]

Incredible. Outstanding.

[Gerrin]

Heroes all 10 of those second half players. Well done Dean.

[cdbearsfan]

Absolutely fucking fantastic in that second half. Arguably our best half of the season considering the man disadvantage. What a side, delighted with them. Not used to Villa not ruining Christmas 😁

[Risso]

That was as good a display as the Liverpool game. Wonderful performance.

[Richard E]

Wow. How good are we?

[KevinGage]

We're quite good aren't we.

Poor Olly can't buy a goal, mind.

Four points from the next two and I might start buying into the idea of European qualification.

[Percy McCarthy]

What a fucking team.

[Dave]

Lovely way to spend an afternoon.

[Monty]

I remember the times when we somehow got worse when facing ten men. Now we are impossible to play once we're down ourselves! Amazing.

Seeing CS next to Dean and JT made me wonder again about the impact he has had on the team since he's come.

[LukeJames]

Game management at its best. Palace did not look remotely like scoring.

Cash, Hause, Targett all 10/10.

Watkins MoM though, I suspect he will be dissapointed that he didn't score but he made sure it was still like 11 v 11, absolutely everywhere, hold up play was immense.

This game will be studied for decades to come for every up coming manager as what to do in a 10 v 11 situation.

We’ve just watched the champions.
