Aston Villa v Fulham Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Never in doubt.

[Goldie.7]

3 points. Everything else is irrelevant.

[Legion]

All good.

[Proposition Joe]

Phew.

Malen makes things happen, would like to see much more of him in the run-in.

[Toronto Villa]

Could have won by more had Ollie been clinical and that Malen effort at the end gone in. Fulham were shit as usual at Villa Park. Still massive 3 points.

[saint13]

Nervy win but a massive win.

We had the chances to make it a lot more comfortable.

Tielemans was excellent.

Onana was good when he came on.

Barkeley was abysmal when he came on.

[Martyn Smith]

Never felt like it would end 1-0, that. But in truth Emi didn't have a serious save to make

[Scovilla]

Relieved. 3 points is all that matter as it has been said.

[enigma]

Massive win but we didn't half labour to it.

[algy]

Big win for us. 3 more to go.

[dorsetvillian]

We talk of control but really don't do it well. Should have been much comfortable. Giving the ball away cheaply in defence and midfield almost cost us. But 3 points and a clean sheet...

[AlexAlexCropley]

Clean sheet,some super approach play. and Pau nearly scores. Good stuff.

[ChicagoLion]

Malen should have been on a lot earlier as Watkins was having a mare.
Kamara is in some worrying form.
Another game passes Assensio by.
SJM and Tielemans excellent.

[paul_e]

Their foul count was probably the most important stat in that game. 17 fouls, the majority being in midfield as we were looking to break is a big part of why we didn't create more

7th is pretty much sealed now so we're definitely in Europe again, now we need to see if we can push into the top 5.

[BoVillan esq]

So, this goes someway in terms of recovery from the Palace debacle, a victory, 3 points, we are on course still and back in the race, if tomorrows games or at least one them goes in our favour we are right in there, it is what it is, we won and we are back in it.
