Aston Villa v Man City Post-Match Thread

[Holy Trinity]

I'm 28 so I can quite comfortably say that's the best 90 mins from Villa I have ever seen.

No words.

Give Unai the statue.

I'm 40 and I can safely say the same

[ExclDawg]

One team looked like League title contenders, who toy with other teams and have their way and the other looked like a plucky upstart hoping to finish in the top 6.

Eddie Large...the Gallagher twats...

Unbelievable, I'm not going to be able to get to sleep for ages now

10  out of 10, every single one of them.  Fantastic win.  3rd place.

[Jon Crofts]

Sensational.

[JD]

Anyone else shaking? 🤣

Yep, I'm working from home and now have the shakes. How good does this feel.

In disbelief at how we completely battered the reigning PL and European champions. To a man we were magnificent tonight. Couldn't give anyone less than a 10/10 tonight. 3 or 4 nil would have been more of an accurate reflection of the game.

I think thats the best I've ever seen us play. Genuinely

[Monty]

We beat the absolute SHIT out of them. We fucked them up all over the pitch. Unai, the selection was incredible, the tactics were masterly, the game management spot on.

Special mentions (I mean, everyone, but especially special):

Emi, the best keeper in the world;

Pau Torres, his best game for us;

Kamara, looked like an emperor in there;

Tielemans, a revelation recently;

Leon. Actual. Bailey. Just wow. The best performance by a 10/wide attacker/whatever in a Villa shirt in absolutely ages. The best since Grealish left. Actually? As good as Grealish on a very, very good day. Totally deserved the touch of luck for the goal, as did the whole team.

We totally did them, good and proper, no complaints and no excuses. We're fucking massive. I love it.

[Somniloquism]

As I posted at full time in the match thread, the BBC only have Citeh having 2 chances all match, the two Ludo had in quick succession. We had 20 more then them.

[wince]

I hope that forsest result doesnt bite us on srse. Can we win the league?

[Villan82]

We are the real deal

[Goldie.7]

Superb, so good I wouldn't have been mad if those rats snatched a late equalizer. We were easily the better team tonight.

[Nelly]

I can't wait to soak up every bit of post match punditry and articles and all that good stuff

This is just incredible. It’s like Emery uses mind bending powers on his players. Bailey has been transformed into the most exciting skill full player we’ve had since you know who but with more end product, Konsa looks like the best defender in the world. McGinn and Luiz are probably the leagues best midfielders.
