Aston Villa v West Ham Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Lovely finish from Bailey and nice to see an assist from Tielemans.

[PeterWithesShin]

Fun fact. After 9 league games we now have more points than we did for the entire 38 game 2015/16 season.

[VILLA MOLE]

Don’t normally watch the after show on sky sports but you can see all the players having a kick about with their kids in the background ❤️

This team is fuckin special!

[Paul.S]

Deserved the 2-0 lead and then relaxed. The good thing is that we were able to defend their high ball and pick our game up and destroy them with 2 superb goals. Bailey’s was absolutely superb. The way we saw the game out was just as good and Emery thought so too.
The only thing that will stop this team are injuries because at the moment watching us is a joy.

[Matt C]

We’re a proper, proper team.

[Steve67]

At times, we were quite sloppy with our passing.  Good job for West Ham really, otherwise it would have been another 6-1 win.  We were bloody brilliant.  We are quite the team and fully deserve our top 5 position at the moment.  Come on you Villa boys.

[AV84]

Moyes and Bowen both talking about us as a "top 6" team, which is nice. They both said that it shows the level you have to play at consistently to be a top 6 team and they have some way to go from today's performance. I always find it quite refreshing when post match interviews are honest and reflect reality. I don't mean that in a condescending way either.

[Hookeysmith]

Only negative is that Dougie and Digne should of taken yellows and miss Luton.

Other than that superb.

Special mention for Konsa. Just outstanding.

Talking
Tracking
Passing
Playing out of defense and winning free kicks to ease pressure
But most off  all, any mug tries any beef with our lot he is first in everytime.

Southgate is a complete arrogant wanker to over look him

[PaulTheVillan]

What I’ve noticed is how happy all the players look. I know it’s easy when winning at home, but there js a real togetherness that I’ve not seen since the 10 game streak under smith when we came up. We are going places.

[Footy-Vill]

Only one team came to play.
Only one team came to win.
Apart from a brief spell Villa were superior by far
Our attacking players are superb !
At home I fancy us to beat anyone
 . Anyone !
Thank You Emery
Truly special.

[pauliewalnuts]

The improvement in Konsa has been remarkable.

[RamboandBruno]

Might be getting carried away and no disrespect meant to Luton and Fulham, but feels like everything is building towards that Man City and Arsenal December double header…..a bit like Xmas 1989 when we beat reigning champions Arsenal and Man Utd at home in a matter of days.

Unai is some sort of fooking Gandalf figure as far as Im concerned, its pure fooking sorcery shit going on.

[Risso]

Whisper it - is Konsa better now Mings is out of the team? Not a criticism of Tyrone at all but it seems to have made Ezri take more responsibility.

[manic-road]

Ha ha Unai saying in interview he was angry with Dougie for relaxing after his second.

And that is the attitude of a winner, and a head coach who is always looking for improvement.
