What a performance. Bizot/Lindelof/Mings so good it feels very harsh to drop them for Sunday.

Great result after everything lately. Objective achieved. Tonight is going to take it out of the legs, mind. That crap between Emery and Tielemans we don't need.

I don’t reckon Emi makes all those saves.
Totally agree.

Outstanding performance. As said on here earlier, Bizot mom but Mings/Lindelof absolutely superb, Mings (if he can) plays with Konza Sunday without doubt.

Garcia looked good, both full backs great, Onana back, Buendia was excellent in first half. If we can get Tammy A in, we're looking good.

Also want to add that I thought that was the best ref performance I’ve seen all season

I thought that was one of the best games that I've seen from Emery's Villa: we played with assuredness at the back, with Mings and Linderlof coming in and Cash and Digne playing so well - it was very impressive; backed up so well by Bizot. Tielemans had a super game, and Rogers and Buendia both played really well as well. Watkins did what he does best which is giving the opposition defence no space or time, and I thought that bringing Garcia and Maatsen on as wingers was really impressive for the final 20 minutes of the game. Even Sancho made a useful contribution - kudos to Emery.

Low key, but Garcia didn't look out of place when he came on for Cash.

He let quite a few go in the second half but overall was good.

Surprised but delighted. Top 2 would be a bonus, but at least there won't be a play-off tie.

Yes we do. We need an angry Unai. An angry Unai = no one having a fucking prayer against us.

Unai at his best. Bit like the spurs game in the cup. Home team had a little go but we should have had it all wrapped up, the onana changed the game.

Great win
Defence and Bizot superb
Should of scored more to have won comfortably
Watkins a shadow of his formerself.

In Unai we trust

Lindelof was brilliant tonight. Great win. Hope Tillemans and Unai are still friends, doesn't Unai know we are very short of midfielders at the mo. Don't piss Youri off.
