Liberated Aston Villa 4-0 Brentford post match party

[cdward]

A simple set up 4231 playing to the strengths of our squad.
Players obviously felt they had a point prove.
All players looked confident and up for it (except Coutinho).
Great use of the subs, means that players are kept happy.
Well, well, it wasn't the players after all.
Think we may see Danks in place 'til the WC now, and give the club breathing space to make the next appointment.

edit: toss-up between Buendia and Luiz for MOTM.
Crowd were brilliant showing proper support

Also, McPhee gets some stick on here but half the team went and celebrated with him after the first. The players clearly like him.

It was great to see Ollie Watkins playing like he enjoyed himself again. He’s a good player who’s is perfectly suited to a high press. Also seeing us play passes quickly and players running into decent positions.

We haven’t played like that since for so long. It was great to see. Obviously an early goal is a natural boost to confidence, but we didn’t look dragged down at all. It was like every player was free to play.

Bloody brilliant afternoon..... Rain cleared, sunshine came out, and Villa turned up! Can't name a man of the match, because each of the starting 11 played exceptionally!

Thought we lost a bit of grip when McGinn came on for Dendoncker, but the game was already won I guess.

Indeed. I'm a fan of SJM, but he'll have his work cut out to get back in ahead of Dendocker on the latter's showing today. How it should be.

Just seen on a podcast…

Happy Danksgiving

The penalty came from Martinez looking up early and firing the ball into his path. The psychological difference in today's performance was staggering and Watkins was revelling in it.

Towards the end of the match Villa did this pass and move play. Turned defense into attack in about 5 seconds playing it through the middle. I thought "where the heck did this come from?!"

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Well fuck my old boots, enjoyment, entertaining, happiness, smiling, all things that have been sadly lacking in a long time when watching the Villa. One swallow doesn’t make a summer but that was chalk and cheese with some of the dross we have had to endure.

Everyone of the starters played well, we came out like a whirlwind and they had no answer. Really impressed with Clive who gave us a great foundation, Doug got stuck in and set us on the front foot, Young continued his great form, Bailey bright and showed us what he can do with great end product, Ings poaching, Watkins typical work rate and perseverance with the goal.
Brilliant afternoon…UTV

Interview with Aaron Danks after the game. Jack Woodward just can’t help himself with a cheesy cliche immediately.

Beat Newcastle and the Red filth and I'd give him the job till end of season.

And when Poch then thinks we are worthy tell him to fuck off

A week is indeed a long time in football.

Martinez hasnt played a pass like that since Grealish was here!

Great performance, hard to single players out, but Luiz was brilliant as was Young. Young was such a leader, always encouraging Bailey. Considering he’s hardly played, Dendonker was great.
Only one game, but actually looked there was some coaching going on!

[Nelly]

I just needed to post how incredibly happy and grateful I am that the previous era is done with and we're looking forwards again. What a necessary victory today.

[Villafirst]

Obviously, Gerrard should've gone at least a month ago. Players were released from his boring straight jacket style of play. This is the way forward......

[aj2k77]

Fantastic performance without Gerrard making everyone look him in the eye. Shout out to Bailey seeing as I give him loads of stick on here I thought he was brilliant today. Sulky bastard looks like he's only interested out wide, fair enough if those are the type of performances he'll put in out there though. Just nice to have it confirmed that everyone isn't a total donkey and a good manager can get us going places. At least to safety this season anyway.
