Aston Villa v Burnley Post Match Thread

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Loved that personally, should have won more comfortably.

Bailey and Watkins were superb.

Thanks for the last year boys!! VTID

Will take the three points and run. I reckon we should have four genuine first teamers back for Everton, with Konsa going back into Centre Back and maybe SJM maybe back on the left to give JJ a break, he can't be expected to hit the ground running as he has been the last few games. We've been through the ringer in the last eight days but Uni knows one thing for sure after this Xmas, we don't have the squad to fully compete with the big boys yet and could do with one or two new faces to compliment what's coming back into the squad. Time for a few relief pints, happy new year all!

[Scovilla]

Great year 2023 but tonight I am just relieved. Why can' t we win the easy way? Anyway happy new year to all.

Agent Aaron.
Still a Villan at heart.

13 points from 18 in December.  That included Citeh, Arse and Brentford away.  If someone had given us that at the start we would’ve taken it.  Especially with the injuries and suspensions.

Happy New Year to all. I'm sat at home with Covid, celebrating my 45th Wedding Anniversary!

Laboured and we look tired, but incredibly important we got over the line. Hopefully that gets it out of our system. JJ had a horror show again, hopefully that’s the last.

Diaby, Bailey, and Ollie were really good.

Erm...lads, we're joint top.

😂

[Goldie.7]

We made it tougher than we needed with the sloppy finishing but overall very decent with a sprinkle of owed fortune dished out.

[Risso]

Hanging on at home against 10 men, not great but we’ll take it and move on.

On the plus side, Diaby and Watkins looked better, Moreno looked bright and Bailey was excellent. On the negative, Carlos is really poor and Lenglet no better. The “best keeper in the world” shouldn’t be letting that second goal in.

Kamara back next game though, which should give us a big lift.

I thought going forward we were fine, but Carlos and Lenglet were absolutely dreadful. Need Pau and Ezri back in there asap.

When all fit it is about our 8th best partnership.

We need a RB defo in window

[Ian.]

We've now scored 10 league goals this season from 85+ mins, winning us 10 points. Plus a number of others from 70-85 mins. Hell of a lot of character and good attitude in this squad.

That’s pretty impressive and shows how much we can grind out a result when we need too. Like it

[dave shelley]

Up the Villa!

[CT Villan]

The 3 points was the most important thing today and boy did we make hard work of it. Diaby could have had a hattrick and Ramsey was wasteful. Luiz's penalty was funny, the length of time he took staring down Trafford before his run-up was brilliant

[pelty]

Need to get Konsa back in at CB quickly.

100%!
