Villa 6 (six) Brighton 1 Post Match Lower Grounds Celebration.

[PaulWinch again]

So many excellent performances today - Kamara makes such a difference when he’s on it - but special mention to Matty Cash and Lucas Digne. Both excellent and the amount of work they put in was staggering.

I will never EVER question anything that Unai does, says or delivers ever again.
The bloke is a genius, a don, a god.

I love the bloke, and right now he is untouchable and beyond question.

Unai, thank you for making this team, this club, relevant again.

[LeeB]

Yeah Kamara was fucking top today and is world class when he's at it.

Everyone was marvellous, but Dougie is absolute king boss man of Villa Park right now.

Agreed on the Dougie statement.
We said today, he has become the player we hoped he would…and more.

Bit of  a worry how reliant we are on Cash and Digne. There's not a lot of options, not good ones at least, to rest them, and there's still a lot of games to play over the next few months. Messing with the defence hasn't worked very well this season, but they're going to need a break at some point.

[Dave]

At 5-1 Jonathan Pearce claimed it was the first time we'd scored 5 at home in a league game since the 5-5 v Forest. It's not like we stuck 7 past Liverpool is it. Twat.

Yeah that was weird. But beyond that glaring error he was pretty complimentary.

I'd take knowing what you're talking about over trite compliments any day of the week.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Today was all about how we dominated the midfield, which in turn protected the defence and supplied the attack. Playing four rather than three in there was the key for me. Zaniolo put a serious shift in and then JJ when he came on. I'm hoping it was tactical rather than having to adapt as Bailey is injured.

For me it was a 4-4-2 but so fluid, the old chestnut of attacking and defending as a team. At times a joy to watch. More of that please, Unai.

[brontebilly]

Thought McGinn was brilliant today, back in his regular position. Diaby and Watkins pushed up near each other caused them huge problems. We bullied them all over the pitch. Left flank a bit dicey until Ramsey came on and we looked a real team then.

Its making me emotional.

[Legion]

He's definitely an upgrade on Gerrard.

[AV84]

Is that strapping or another questionable tattoo on Zaniolo's left leg?

[Dave]

Is that strapping or another questionable tattoo on Zaniolo's left leg?

Probably just an enormous vein popping out of his enormous thigh.

[AV84]

From training during the week, looks like tape. He was moving ok today, actually noticed how fast he was running into that offside position for the goal, so hopefully it's not an injury, just precautionary

[SoccerHQ]

We just bullied Brighton all over the pitch today. I was really surprised De Zerbi didn't bring a player or two on at 2-0 as their small players in midfield were just getting bypassed constantly.

Was exactly like Newcastle home last season except this time we scored the amount we deserved from out output.

I always feel relaxed when we play Brighton. We just have their number regardless of what form they're in.

Far more nervous about West Ham in a few weeks who are our kryptonite so that would be a brilliant one to win and make it 11 straight home wins which is an amazing run. Players just don't believe they'll lose at VP nowadays (league).

[Ian.]

Wolves are another kryptonite for us it seems since the 4-1 thrashing of them under Bruce.
