A great game to watch if were a neutral. Watching as a Villa fan on the other hand...

I still think we need a minumum of four points for top eight.
No we don’t one win will do the job

There will obviously be a lot of moaning but I thought we played really well other than a few brain farts. I think a big part of the problem is that we're just fucking around with the defence too much. I reckon we need to pick 2 'sets' of 4 and just start one or the other as a unit until we start seeing a bit more cohesion because today was simple communication errors that shouldn't happen.

The Duran/Watkins debate is going to keep on all season but I think we saw the good and bad of both of them today. Watkins ran them ragged first half, got an assist, could've had a couple more, had one disallowed and missed a couple of half chances where he needed to be a bit more alert. Duran scored from nothing, had one disallowed but then was pretty anonymous other than missing a half chance of his own. They're both superb strikers and if we can keep them both happy for another 18months we'll have done really well.

Tielemans needs a break, I hope Onana is fit enough to give him one for a few games over Christmas.

dangerous going forward, dangerous in defence.

Thought ollie, cash and mcginn good first half.  Duran second half.  Digne and Kamara good throughout. 

Got lucky there - but deserved to win - some of our football was excellent - but we need to be more difficult to score against.

I will also add that if Mings was praying tonight they don’t score any.

Yes and no. I loved it when we had the ball! Some cracking stuff.

Mings and Duran start at he weekend and revert back to Mings and Konsa in the middle of a back four. Digne played well, the other three were pretty poor. Some great stuff played at times going forward.

It was men (that’s us) against boys (them) except the total brain farts for their goals.

Carlos can’t be trusted. He’s so, so flaky.

Just give your heads a wobble we are third in the CL Table at this point in the competition.

Overall standard of play was very good. I think we’re only 3-4 players away from having a very good defence.
