Aston Villa 3-0 Everton post match thread

Very harsh on Watkins. 5?

Thought he was poor to be honest, first touch still ropey at times...Ings far sharper of the two of them. Very little interplay between them as of yet

His energy in harassing them has to be worthy of a 6 at least. I’d hate to play against him. His pressing is superb.

I think Ings is going to be a moments player. Fantastic pass for the Bailey goal. Happy to have him in the side for those bits of quality. Gives us something a bit different.

[The Edge]

Just fantastic. We're going places.

[Clark W Griswold]

He was ok just not involved enough. Ings wasn’t particularly either but a bit more effective when he was and the pass for Baileys goal was tremendous and everything I expected when we signed him.
Bailey looks a great young player.
I thought everyone did ok individually but we were a bit huff and puff without being effective as a team until we scored. After that we were very good indeed.

I thought Cash was brilliant today, he suits that role so well. I knew he’d go nuts the moment he scored. I said last season he will love fans being at the ground and appreciate them.

Targett is not an attacking wing back but is so solid as a full back. . In the first half he timed a very hard but fair tackle on Grey so well and it helped subdue his threat.

Bailey? Wow, what a cameo, hope he’s ok, he could be the singing of the season.

When we press so well like we did today and have the attacking threat in Bailey it’s makes such an exciting team.

I think we need to play with one forward though. Buendia to come back in and Bailey to start once fit.

Will be interesting to see what we do next weekend. Not sure Ings will be much use away to Man. United so would love to see Bailey playing off Ollie and probably a good case for Buendia to slot into middle trio as assume McGinn will be ruled out with concussion protocol.

[maidstonevillain]

well done the set-piece coach, I'm really enjoying the routines. The one in the 1st half deserved a goal.

If you mean the one Ings finished. That was close to being Goal of the Season.

[Clark W Griswold]

Yeah we said that in a back four you’d play Targett but in a 3-5-2 with wing backs you’d play Young.

[ChicagoLion]

Fuck off Grealish we got Bailey.
Quicker, younger and better looking than you.

[Rudy65]

Seems great camaraderie between the players as well. Great to see. Quality and team sprit is a great combination

[LukeJames]

Just a word for Luiz's assist for the opener, fucking hell!

[RichardBatchelor]

Brilliant result against a decent team with a brilliant manager and only three pages of comment! Had we lost there’d be ten pages of moaning. Superb performance. Didn’t mind the first hour at all, we negated them, then BAM! Bad luck continues with injuries to McGinn and Bailey, both of whom were superb, especially the latter (shades of Morley for the goal) Doug great, Cash MOM, thought he was exceptional throughout and a great first goal for the club. And Mings played like a man possessed, not technically great but an absolute mountain. That’s why he’s captain. Cloud nine. Wonderful. UTV!

[Risso]

Superb second half, what a player Bailey is going to be for us!
