Aston Villa v Wolves Post-Match Thread

A second consecutive goal against the Wulfs that Konsa "didn't mean". Maybe he's our lucky mascot for these games.

I’ll give you last years goal but what do you think he was trying to do on Saturday 2 yards out unmarked.

Weirdly we’ve played 5 league games won 4 of them and yet our best performance so far was the one we lost imo

Possibly - but Arsenal are miles better than the other 4. That was a strange game we basically controlled from 15mins to 70 mins but whoever scored first was unlikely to let it slip.

I thought we played well at West Ham and really should have scored 4 or 5 that day

Arsenal were afraid of us. They only looked properly comfortable at 2-0 up. Had we have scored one of our chances, that game was ours.

Not that I want to compare the god that is Emery to Martin O'Neill, but we are a bit how we were back than, in that even if we are poor we can suddenly have a purple patch and stick the ball in the back of the net two or three times and see someone off.

How many times over the years have we played top teams and lost and come away thinking we'd played really well and deserved something from the game? Other teams are starting to say that about us now.

Arsenal have played us, Spurs and Man City away, been outplayed for the most part of all 3 games and got 2 wins and a draw. Loved Arteta's face when they conceded yesterday...

I'm sure he wanted to shoot but I don't think he could have planned how he actually executed it.

[Sexual Ealing]

No, that was a brilliant finish.

[cdbearsfan]

Great finish, did really well to avoid being put off and just keep his eye on the ball. There's no way he didn't mean it, what else would he be doing charging into the Wolves penalty area and twatting the ball towards their goal?

[Dogtanian]

Maybe he was being chased by a wasp?

[cdbearsfan]

Alloa scum.

[eamonn]

I thought Alloa would be a harmless place.

Ezri forgot which box he was in and was terrified of Carlos dropping a clanger so thought better cover him and he did and cleared the ball into the net. In a prallel assessment that was superb piece of anticipation and athleticism.

By a country mile. We battered Arsenal for about an hour. A lethargic Ollie Watkins was the only reason we didn't win that game and we would be sitting pretty at the top of the table right now. Fine margins and all that.
