AZ Alkmaar Vs Aston Villa Post-Match

[Clark W Griswold]

I thought Tielemans and Langlet were excellent and everybody else was very good.

The whole performance was very efficient and enjoyable.

Yeah that’s about right for me. Lenglet got better as it went on, I’d also mention Bailey who was excellent too, a goal and 2 assists.

[AV84]

Give them an absolute rocket for switching off for their goal and the next 10 minutes, not good enough!

Given Emery was able to find "fault" with Luiz's performance at the weekend, I'm sure he's got extensive notes on that 10 minute period to be gone over on the flight home.

[Jon Crofts]

AZ’s home record ripped up. Impressive performance.

[Holy Trinity]

Apparently, that's AZs first home defeat in 29 Euro matches!

West Ham won there in May.

It was mentioned it was their first home loss in 29 European matches. Guess the commentators got it wrong.

The whole performance was very efficient and enjoyable.

Bailey was excellent too, brilliant goal and two assists. His best game for the club on a night I thought he had to deliver.

Martinez 7, Cash 6, Carlos 5, Lenglet 8, Digne 7, Kamara 6, Luiz 7, Bailey 9, McGinn 8, Tielemans 9, Watkins 7.

Yes I’d put Bailey in there too. A mature performance from him.

Superb performance, all played well, Tielemans and Bailey the pick of them

[The Man With A Stick]

Best thing for me after the result is Tielemans and Lenglet both playing so well as we'll need that strength in depth over the next few months.  Bailey turning up for an away game too, it's all good.

Unai looked really angry walking off at the end.

Unai looked really angry walking off at the end.

Oh I'm sure there were aspects he was not happy with.

[Mister E]

Unai looked really angry walking off at the end.

I think Chambers had dropped the mother of all farts in the dugout just before the end of the game ....

Bus situation as dire as Warsaw.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I think we're finding our European feet. It's not easy with our injury list to juggle the team for Thursday nights with one eye on the weekend. Those coming in tonight have stepped up a level and Unai has now found the right balance.

Big step in the right direction. Well done lads, a very professional performance against a team that are extremely strong especially at home.

[dave shelley]

Tremendous result.  Well done Villa.  Safe journey home all.

To be fair, 6 or 7 have now turned up, which is a lot better than Warsaw.

[wince]

Not happy at all
