Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Post-Match

[olaftab]

It's long time since we had a team that could turnaround a game like this against good stubborn opposition. Subs made big difference. Palace deserved F all. Half way through second when we were struggling to get an equaliser I almost accepted that our glorious home winning run was going to be over and for the first time in a long while opposition fans will leave VP smiling.

Totally elated.

Two great balls from Tielemans, a game-changing substitution. Bailey involved again, good to have competition for starting places.

I couldnt see where one goal was coming from after the disallowed one, never mind three. Perseverance paid off in the end, which was nice.

I think Emi also pulled off some great saves to make up for his wee slip.

Woosh, just coming down from that mad adrenaline rush. Frustration to elation and all that.

Just some minor observations, Dougie was class all  game, Kamara played well too but right call to take him off as no need for a 6 with their tactics of sitting deep. Dougs composure for the penalty!!
McGinn struggled. Cash struggled in the more advanced position, he just couldn’t beat their full back, who played well. Digne slowed the game down too much and it will be good to get Moreno back in.
I don’t understand the criticism of Torres by a couple of posters. He got caught for pace for their goal, but someone else (can’t remember who) had lost it to put him in a difficult position. Even then Emi gets their first if he hadn’t slipped. Torres distribution was first class and his defending was generally good.
Konsa for me, along with Dougie, MoM, just superb all game.
Up front Diaby did well, Watkins has great movement and scores if he’s not brought down, lovely chip that was unfortunate not to go in. He’s low on confidence and once he gets one, he will go on a run. Great finish by Duran, complete wild card. Zaniolo did well if a little greedy sometimes, Bailey did really well when he came on.

Tielemans struggled at first, but was instrumental in the 2nd and 3rd with great through balls.

Someone else pointed out the pre Emery Villa lose that 0-1 or 0-2, but Emery and the players find a way.

Finally, Eze is a lovely player for them.

Bloody hell I feel dizzy after reading that!

Yea to be fair I do feel like Ive just come down of a huge wrap of speed after that, so my post probably reflects that.

I love whingeing like a toddler on these threads and reading others doing likewise. But we have to watch out for the speccy prefect types.

I know, those people who get in a sulk because someone has posted about a goal before they've seen it are a massive problem.

Yep grab by tie and put head down toilet.

One thing that spoiled the end of the game for me was that my stream kept either jumping back to 78 minutes or so, or switching between is and the Arse game Var décisions. It was very frustrating as the rhythm of the game was completely ruined and the 3rd was a sort of damp squib. Not to worry, I shall savour the highlights. ITV!

Blimey, there's some bickering & point scoring going on today!!

Paul you are so entertaining. I shall look you up for a pint next time I'm over.

And even then, I can get in a sulk about PWS posting 6 (SIX) minutes before I see it if I like. Don't like it? Tough tit! Just like he said to me. I can live with early goal announcements just like I can live with climate change. Raspberry!

Irrational behaviour watching Villa is cathartic.

Visceral shouting after each goal is extremely cathartic as well

Match threads can often be emotional if we aren't winning. It can be full of extremes, same as how we feel at the games. So often it's either utter shit or brilliant. One of the few things I disagree with is when there's a comment like how this team and manager have no guts and it's pathetic. When this is the team and manager that has spent the last 10 months being top 4 form.
