Brighton v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Some win that.  Great to see Malen get off the mark for us.

I thought that was a cracking performance. Brighton created very little, and we were clinical. A clean sheet and three goals (should have been four, but for the crap officials) away from home. You can't ask for any more than that.

We're coming into form at just the right stage of the season, and finally have a mostly fit squad.

Exciting times!

[Mellin]

Big result. Well in, Villa.

So chuffed for Malen. Deserves a break. Clearly has ability and hope he settles here despite a challenging start.

I know we all have our views on team selection and positioning.
But please can we just accept we don’t have much of a clue compared to SUE?

[SoccerHQ]

Not a great performance but the January signings nicely stepped up in the month we need them to and we were ultra clinical.

What is more important as we're getting the knack of keeping clean sheets and resilience as we need that to have any chance of success in at least one of the competitions we remain.

Think we can win our next two and the table looks good again and we can afford to drop points against Newcastle and Man. City before the final four games.

[AV82EC]

Superb win. Clinical second half and so much strength in depth to change the game.

The less said about Ref/VAR the better, absolute clowns.

Also that goal difference is improving.

[Villan For Life]

6 wins in a row, 4 of them away, 15 scored, 1 conceded.....Emery looks to have timed this season to perfection.

Fantastic stats

[manic-road]

The perfect away performance, wow we have some real quality and depth in the squad after the January window.

[Beard82]

Brilliant away performance - the quality of finish in those 3 goals is something we havent had in a long time.

We defended well - cash struggled against a very good player - but other than that we rarely looked under pressure.

Good to see Pau and Onana back. Maybe, just maybe, were hitting some form at the right moment

[Chris_Jephcott]

2 great things off the top of my head:

1/ The return of the clean sheet - but more particularly, the Premier League clean sheet. Awesome to see. Kamara and Torres are a real plus.

2/ All 3 goals scored by January signings. If we keep Rashford and Asensio, I’m actually not worried if we lose Watkins in the summer. 3 very good finishes. We really did have a great January window.

[Goldie.7]

Pretty damn good. Kamara motm once again. I also thought Digne was superb--he appears to be taking his game to the next level in recent performances.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Who sponsored that ref: Specsavers?

Get TF in, anyway!

[andyh]

Excellent result and a good performance.
I thought we looked very similar to Forest.

Soaked up a lot of pressure, conceded a lot of ground, but deadly on the break

[astonvilla82]

Goals for the newcomers and a clean sheet away from home - well done boys.

"A real smash and grab.. Villa had to soak up a lot of pressure. Brighton will feel hard done." Oh, fuck off with the commentators.

No one likes seagulls, UTV.

If it's Manchester United, it's a great performance

[Deano's Mullet]

As usual Brighton moaning we got lucky with the ref. are they kidding?
