Aston Villa 2-0 Cardiff City Post Match Thread

[Small Rodent]

congrats on your win and good luck next round

thought we were decent tonight  but the gulf in class shone through in the end

hopefully we brought  some good  atmosphere to villa park think i've lost my voice

I hope you had a good time.

Heavy weather, we needed an early goal, had plenty of chances to get it but didn't. Not much to complain about really other than the tactics of 'keep the ball and wait for a mistake' are fine in the PL when the opp at some point will try at least one attack but not so great when the opp have no ambition whatsoever, it looked like they just wanted not to lose 5-0. We needed to move the ball much faster and get wide overloads, we didn't.

I fancied us to win 4-0, I still fancied us to win 4-0 at half time

Glad to see you back, mate! One of the most gracious opposition supporters - it's just a shame we don't have more like you.

Hope you enjoyed the game, despite the result, and sincere best wishes for the rest of your season.

We kept a clean sheet!

We. Kept. A. Clean. Sheet!

WE KEPT A CLEAN SHEET!!!!!

I think Holte End did a rendition  of "you must be so shit we kept a clean sheet" to Cardiff fans.

My friend watching your team tonight I can't believe you are struggling in the second division?

Not at our best

But clean sheet and a comfortable  win. Jon done. We take that.

Bet we get palace away  next round😂

He was our goalie on my first trip to Wembley in February 1971

He's definitely my favourite metaphysical poet.

Good luck for the rest of the season, Dinas. I think you'll be fine based on that.

That is nice.

It was a pity Chambers didn't get on, he played a key role in our CL qualification (assist for Duran to make it 2-3 v Livahpool).

I liked Cardiff's lad, Ng. Not sure what his xG was but he should have had a penalty in the first half.

Professional job well done.
I continue to be very impressed with Bogarde and Garcia.
If we can only get a home draw in the QF, I fancy us against anyone at VP.
I feel the opposite with an away draw.
On to Brugge.

Yes I think you did well and unlucky with the penalty call.
Colwill is going to be a very good player but they all put a shift in and stuck to the system. Eventually you ran out of gas.
All the best.

[Drummond]

Did what was needed. Was a bit of a training ground exercise really, and it's that age ikd problem of trying to break a team down who have everyone behind the ball.

[RamboandBruno]

First 10 or 15 I thought it was going to be 4 or 5, then when we couldn’t break down their stubborn defence, we lost our way a bit. Felt like the kind of game where if they sneaked one we’d lose, but ultimately once we got the goal it was comfortable. Thought everyone put a shift in.  Cardiff sang up, fair play, thought the Holte was quiet considering what was at stake.
Lets just hope we dont get man city, wolves, palace, Newcastle or Bournemouth away. Excited for the draw now, Preston away or anyone at home please, first time in 10 years into the QFs, exciting times.

[Olneythelonely]

both emotional times though

Anwar today could see it
Jack waiting to come on could feel it

I loved that team under Dean Smith that won promotion

Football is a sport, played by two teams of 11 players.
