I'm not sure if there's an arrogance to us today or just a nasty streak but I'm liking it.

We’re going toe to toe with one of the two best teams in the Prem, in their backyard and looking good for it as well.
Couple of poor connections and some great saves and we’d be two up

 

[Pangloss]

Lol at the errr… pace from Ings there.

Not blessed is he .

Speed of thought but not movement.

 

[Villan57]

May be a goal down, but I'm really enjoying this match.

How did that not go in just then?!

Mcginn's interceptions have been amazing today, just his passing letting him down. Ball sticking at the feet of both Ings and Watkins so far. Only a matter of time before either of them connect.

Just a shame is passing isn't up to it

Stark contrast with the energy levels against Watford isn't there?

 

[Villa Onion bag]

Commentators not giving Villa any credit at all.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Over doing it with the Hollywood passes now. Keep it simple , it has worked so far.

Just done it again too. If he can up that side of his game this season he'd be a superstar, cos he has absolutely everything else in his locker

 

[Villa Onion bag]

Good hands

 

[Villa 4 Ever]

Genuinely think Mings would make a better striker than Davis

Can‘t argue that we aren‘t up for the scrap so far.

 

[Bonker]

Love sjm but he can't be in this team if he can't look after the ball better, needs more composure.

 

[Pangloss]

What a tackle Konsa!

 

[Tom Cat]

Great recovery by Konsa there

 

[Villa Onion bag]

Ramsey .. Man o the match so far..

 

[Pangloss]

Ramsay looks a different player so far this season

 

[Villan57]

How are they winning.

Because we can hit a clean shot

When I started the chalk and cheese post, I don't remember a spirit and determination like this under DS full stop. It's a proper team showing.

Maybe over the break we rectified the pre-season errors fitness wise.

Maybe DS has bunkered the players.

Unlucky Ramsey.

This isn't a team at war with itself or not with the gaffer.

 

[LewChatterley'sLover]

This formation is looking good. Winning the midfield!

 

[Melon Donkey]

Has Mendy EVER had a decent game until today .

LoL. Not.
