Aston Villa v Bournemouth Match Thread

[Smithy]

Tielemans has quietly started to look impressive in recent games.

Him and McGinn in centre mid means we haven't missed Luiz and Kamara the last couple of matches.

Such was their impact on our side and the way we play, that if you'd told me a few months ago that we could lose both Kamara AND Luiz and then win AT Arsenal and go 3-1 at home to Bournemouth, I'd have laughed at you.

Diaby off for the panda

West Ham 5-1 down. Motes might be getting sacked tonight. Out of Europe and a battering to follow it up.

Hopefully we can get top four sorted before the last day.  We're notoriously garbage at Palace and I wouldn't fancy having to go there needeing something

I think he should have given kesler 10 mins tbh ans duran some game time. Players looks drained

[PeterWithesShin]

We play some fantastic stuff, it's potentially scary how good we could be with a near full squad available.

[PeterWithesShin]

Nearly 3-2

[Keeno]

Watkins has that elite, elite mentality. He's trying so hard to score here, I absolutely love it.

Man of the match despite not scoring by an absolute country mile.

He's schooled Zabarnyi second half.

[Toronto Villa]

That was fucking close. We don’t need that.

Just said that same to a mate, if we had a fuller squad we would be seriously in contention for the league this year - what a thing to be able to say.

Did we not already play Palace away this season? Where we scored two very late to win it? Was that at Villa Park?

KKH on for Cash

I don’t know how we have managed such intensity in the second half after the last 7 days and 120 mins on Thursday.

At Villa Park. 3-1. Duran magic, Doug pen, Bailey sealed it

It was the rest we had at Man City that allowed that.
