Aston Villa v Luton Post-Match Thread

[Holte132]

Three games in a row now where we've scored 4

Except they scored one of ours.

And we scored theirs

It's annoying to keep winning but not go up in the table.

Makes me nostalgic for 2 months in 11th last season.

Almost as one sided as the Manchester derby.
Referee clearly felt sorry for them, with some of his decisions.

[AV84]

Felt a bit sorry for Watkins today the team should have been busting to give him some decent service against a poor side
these games are the equivalent of an all you can eat buffet and Watkins was left stuck in the kitchen

Piss poor service for the poor lad apart from that one he missed that I could have put in with my nob

The OG would have been his had Lockyear not beaten him to it.

It's like last season, where at one point we were winning but seemingly stuck in 11th forever.

To move up the table we will have to beat the sides around us when we play them. It’s often the difference between say 4th and 7th.

Loved Unai’s rant after SJM tried a speculative shot.

John had to give his the calm-down sign

On a serious note we are getting........now are a very good team.

JJ to start ahead of Zaniolo

Not sure Mings, Moreno, Buendia would get in at the moment need mind any signings in Jan

Moreno definitely gets in ahead of Digne, but I agree about the others.

[AV82EC]

Don’t think Bertie overly impressed in his little
Cameo as he lost possession at least 4 times in the 5 mins he was on the pitch.

[AV84]

Moreno definitely gets in ahead of Digne, but I agree about the others.

I think it'll be a slow re-introduction for Moreno. Eventually he'll probably be back in the starting spot over Digne, but it might be January before that happens. Maybe Digne end up leaving in January too.

Today just had the feel of a testimonial/exhibition game. We were so comfortable and could play at our tempo it was untrue.

Can't remember a returning player getting quite a reception like Nakamba did aswell.

We're just a very good team this season back to front. Silly goal to concede but we could've scored far more if we wanted to.

As the manager says it's time to dream big as this team is good enough to achieve such dreams.

I know Luton lack the overall quality at this level, but I thought we played very well and controlled the game from start to finish. The only blemishes were not scoring more and the really daft own goal...and Dendoncker trying a reprise of Stevenage.

Unai seemed especially pleased with the 3rd, even though it was an own goal; I guess it was evidence of how the possession play can transfer quickly into a dangerous attack.

The poor old Donk getting caught on edge of our box aswell

He wasn't caught as such, it was like he was standing waiting for the bus.

He had a pass on to Konsa in space, the way he was facing, for about 5 minutes.

Perhaps they'll be moved on and upgraded with better players in January.
