Aston Villa 2-0 Deano’s Norwich post match thread

[Villa Lew]

Tables looking a lot better. I thought Watkins had a good game personally. Buendia looked really sharp as he has done in his last few performances, I’d really like to see him get some more game time.

Re Buendia he generally does play well when he comes on, but rarely seems to perform, when he starts.

[BC54 VFC]

A wins a win, and another clean sheet - only saw bits of it as I’m away but didn’t really looked troubled

Norwich we’re rubbish but hopefully we have started to play back into form and the league table looks much better.

We’ll done to SG for giving Tim a start

Feel sorry for Dean - wouldn’t be surprised if he brings them back stronger though

Is there a surfeit of apostrophes where you're on holiday?

Only at the Villa could we have an established England player in a winning  England side getting pelters from Villa fans.

On balance no. The missing one from win’s just turned up in the wrong place later on.

Strange thing to say, I thought he was our best player for weeks before he was left out the team.

Imagine just what Emiliano Buendia could do if he played for the full 90 minutes. He created three chances, one of which lead to a goal, in added time alone!

It’s not that straightforward though is it? I like Emi, but coming on against a tired side knowing you only have 10/15 mins is completely different to starting. He’s going to be a valuable player for us absolutely, but he needs to be more precise at times.

I understand your love in with Ollie goes back to his Exeter days, Brian but he's been very poor this season where his weaknesses have been highlighted on an almost weekly basis. As I said in the Match thread, as we're stuck with him until at least the end of the season, we need to play to his strengths as we continue to look pretty toothless up front.

We all love his workrate, it's his poor technique that lets him down.

[Skerra]

Are we going to be on last again on MOTD?

Agreed. Summed up by that brilliant bit of skill by Coutinho in the first half, with a 50 yard pass to put Watkins in yards of space, only for him to shoot tamely imto the side netting.

[The Edge]

Don't know if it's been mentioned but just a word for the ref. After a couple debatable yellow cards especially the one for JJ how the fucking hell did he let that one go on Cash late in the second half? Their player took both his legs and got nowhere near the ball. The absolute tool of a ref did nothing. Shocking refereeing.

I’d have him playing ahead of Coutinho, but I can see why Gerrard wouldn’t want to do that as it may upset his chances of signing him in the summer.

[lovejoy]

How did Bailey play? I’ve not seen him justify his continued selection. Was today any different?

Hi workmate is faultless and I do like him but how many times can one player drill his shot straight into a defenders legs before he learns?

Still a surfeit of one though

Every single time, he's head down, surrounded by team mates, and whack, off the defender's shins halfway down the pitch. He's such a brainless player.
