Aston Villa v Bournemouth Post Match Thread

Whatever about his form, I think Diaby looks a little bit happier at least lately. He really did look miserable for a while there. Rogers looks like he's absolutely loving life with us, which is great to see.

Obviously you don't want to be missing players for any reason but you know you've got some depth there when it's difficult to see how you put Luiz, Ramsey and Kamara back into that lineup.

Rogers vision is something else

£16 million for him? We have absolutely taken the piss out of Middlesborough on that one!

Fair play to them for standing their ground on the price. I think we still got a bargain.

Cracking stuff. Super win. Lots of good football. More assists from Watkins. Bailey & Diaby score & Rogers is looking like an absolute bargain.

Big come back from Diaby in that game. Really poor in the lead up to their penalty, but did brilliantly to win the ball back near our goal to start the move for the first and then a lovely goal.

Superb 2nd half performance  today. Ollie played out of his skin. Rogers is some find. He is looking like one of the bargin buys of this and any other season. He reminds me of Gibbs White a bit. He is not as good as him...yet.

I think Spurs will get 7 or 8 points so one more win required for 4th.

Unai manager of the season if we get 4th.

Diabys got 9 this season i think thats more than leon in his first season. He gonna get better.

Man rodgers is gonna be a fucking star. He looks unreal

Well yes, Bailey got one in his first season.

What a week. Take a couple of days off lads. You’ve earned it.

That’s a very good return for his first season, especially when you include his assists. I mentioned it during the game, if you take a look at Baileys thread, it’s 150 pages plus of thinking we’ve been mugged off and saying he can’t play in this league. Most wanted him out the door and replaced.

If he can toughen up a bit I think that’s all he needs. The talent is certainly there.

[Hillbilly]

Great win over very a pretty good Bournemouth side.

[AlexAlexCropley]

That was a top 4 performance second half.
Rogers or Youri motm

[Small Rodent]

No-one took any notice in the match thread so I’ll say it again - 101 goals for the season. Marvellous.

We still are!!!

Haha, I know! Thanks though.

Brilliant performamce, McGinn and Rodgers were fucking amazing. The rest weren't that far behind....

Yup. SJM made sure the engine was always purring, he was everywhere. Morgan Rogers opened up their defence for us to go on and win. What a talent! Watkins' energy is beyond Frank Carrodus' levels. Special mention to Youri Tielemans who I've rightly given tonnes of shit for some lazy performances. He's been absolutely brilliant these last few weeks, made the shirt his own and with Dougie back next week will cause Unai a few headaches.

First half we were okay but the 2nd half reminded me of the Everton game when we first came up, some liquid football and goals that each should be shortlisted for Goal of the Month. Makes you wonder why Unai can't get a decent tune out of the team in Europe.
