Good play in the build up and Philogene did superbly to finish.

What a lovely Villa goal. Cracking ball by Tielemans, well kept in and great cross from Digne and a superb finish by JPB

That's the sort of cross we expected to be seeing a lot more from Digne when he signed.

I wonder if JPB decided to go to just JP as it's an easier branding decision. Wouldn't blame him, just struck me it's an easier sell on shirts etc if he hits it big.

I thought there was a maximum charge on names now so you don’t get put off having long names on?

After a slowish start we’ve edged this first half. It’s miserably hot and muggy down there after the rain. But we’ve done ok.

Harrison reed  injured, I assume it's repetitive strain from kicking Tielemans.

Tielemans is a very tidy footballer

Don't know the specifics on shirt names or whatever - just meant it's a snappier name. Rolls off the tongue easier for names rights on other products etc. I'm probably wrong!

I think we're looking a little bit weak/open in the middle - anyone else?

Buendia also not having the influence he did against Newcastle

I reckon McGinn has touched the ball three times this half. Strange game.
