Have you ever been that relaxed watching Villa in the last eight of any competition? I can’t recall one in my lifetime.

No agreed, particularly in a knock out competition. It was nice we could be in third gear in the second half and conserve energy.

Leeds in the League Cup Final was quite a breeze from memory.

The ref was a clown, but liked the fact he didn't bother with any added time, blew up on 90.

The first goal was a stunner. Hopefully we don't shit our pants now we're nearly there. But we do tend to shit our pants when the pressure is truly on, even under lord Emery.

That was one of the silliest referees I’ve seen. It wasn’t all against us, we had some decisions go our way, but as we didn’t give them no time on the ball, it seemed every tackle was a foul.

Onana was excellent last night, he’s looking back to his best again and he makes a huge difference when he’s that good.

Extremely enjoyable evening, I’ve never felt so relaxed watching The Villa, especially in a big game.

Unai getting the deckchair out and smoking a cigar on the touchline was a bit much though.

What a night.

Could  not have gone any better. Comfortable  performance, no yellows, rogers breaks his duck and we got a chance to take players off. Absolutely  delighted.

Now lets make it right and get to a european final after what happened in the conference
