Quote from the Mailonline report:

To be honest I'd rather not see links from that pitiful rag on here, no matter how much they praise the Villa.

Did you get out of bed the wrong side this morning?

A34 closed on way home. Couldn't give a s**t....

Yep. This would suit me

100% agree.

I didn't see it. Absolutely fuming that I'm a quid down on my 0-10 bet. Gerrard out.

Linesman didn't put the flag up numerous times in the first half, but was very quick to in the 2nd. Another example of one way incompetence, they're the best team in Europe they don't need help.

Anyway we were excellent, every single player, including McGinn. Special mention for Young who came on with the attitude that Foden wasn't getting past him & he didn't.

We were robbed.

Really enjoying the Ashley Young love-in. He thoroughly deserves it. When he won that foot race with Kevin Brown who just limply appealed for some kind of invisible foul I almost pissed myself laughing.

1 things for certain, that dressing room isn’t lost. The commitment was fantastic, the discipline was there and Ashley Young rolled back the years. A monumental effort from everyone.

Indeed.  We bag Gerrard when he gets it wrong, but credit to him tonight for getting it spot on.  We actually went into the game with what looked like a plan as well (other than the fullbacks bombing forward). More of that please.

I know Bailey scored, but he was one who disappointed me again with his overall work rate.

Was anonymous until the goal, but he's a confidence player. Hopefully he kicks on now.

BTW: Souness on Mings 'ballwatching' first half. He's that sour he's making shit up now. I don't think Tyrone is too bothered about the old dinosaur anyway. It probably is a bit harder to step up when he knows the manager doesn't have full confidence in him. But he's been solid so far this season.

[Allan C]

I hope Legion doesn't mind me doing the honours.

Nobody cares.

Allan might

Allan does

[PaulWinch again]

He wasn’t anonymous before the goal.

Ashley Young was brilliant today, absolutely superb. Looked miles better than Cash, who was poor again, even before the injury. Mings was great as well, as was Luiz. He didn't look like he had much of a cob on after not getting the Arsenal transfer.

[The Edge]

Oh and what the fuck was the ref doing for Phil’s disallowed goal?

More to the point what was VAR doing? It was completely brushed over. How the hell did they decide not to review that? City players just stopped which obviously swayed the officials but that should not stop VAR getting involved. Bizarre really.

Young was brilliant, it was a great piece of luck that Cash got injured who has been crap all season.

I just hope this signals a prolonged run of games for Doug. For me he has to start in a midfield three with Kamara and Dendoncker. Coutinho wide left and Bailey on the right. Ollie up front.
