Aston Villa banter 2

Great result and the way we ground it out was impressive as we certainly weren't at our best today or anywhere near it and you couldn't have argued too much if the result had gone the other way. We started well but once we scored we allowed Arsenal too much possession I don't know why, consequently they grew into the match became more confident which made our life more difficult than it should have been. We also tended to overplay in our own third we got caught out several times Carlos this time being the main offender playing short balls possession turned over leaving our back four exposed. The other thing I don't understand is why Bailey is on corners given Luiz's ability from a dead ball I can only assume they think Luiz is more dangerous at around the 18 yard box which is fine but if that's going to be a regular feature then Bailey, s delivery needs to be better. Having said all that though great performance and result nice gap to 5th place, onwards and upwards if we beat Brentford and Utd we might go into the New Year top of the table, what a thought.

I have just posted but I was taking to stefan Moore last week and he's actually worried for the villa. Apparently emery runs it from top to bottom so if a bigger job turns his head we are likely to be 50 people down who support what emery wants

We’ll worry about what stefan Moore thinks when he’s some way relevant

Better and better utv

Brilliant UTV

It’s not just that we won again, it’s that I believed we could even before a ball was kicked. I can’t remember ever feeling like this about Villa before. It’s not some huge level of expectation or anything but more that I have belief in them and what they can do.

Same aswell neb, you can sense something special is happening at the villa

09 Dec 2023 20:04:09
Gotta love the way we’re playing, give the opposition nothing and keep them out, even the big boys can’t cope with us

09 Dec 2023 20:14:30
I put 2-1 Arsenal in super 6 just because I thought it would be too much in 3 days.
I'm glad I was wrong again. Great defensive performance, Luiz and Kamara definitely looked leggy but held their positions well.
To struggle with clean sheets all season and then have them back to back against City and Arsenal is nothing short of remarkable.

09 Dec 2023 21:15:29
That's exactly what I thought and told my friend when we played against Nottingham, that even in the 90th minute I believed that we could turn the score around, it's unbelievable how far we've come

The run Bournemouth are currently on is starting to make our draw with them actually look quite good, absolutely dismantling United today.
Results are definitely going our way the last couple of weeks which only enhances our top 4 hopes.
We'll have some bad days but if we can keep a good level of consistency and avoid picking up too many injuries, we could end up having an incredible season.

09 Dec 2023 17:01:03
Yep definitely mate

Watched their extended highlights v united tonight, their manager has them playing well, when I seen the result earlier I thought the exact same, who would’ve thought we would get 10 points against spurs, Bournemouth, city and arsenal, we would of being happy with 5 and let’s face it we would of thought Bournemouth was our best chance of a win.

It's hard not to get carried away with how we are performing but if we can beat Arsenal stay where we are in terms of position in the table and add 3 quality additions in the January window, (goalkeeper, right back, and centre forward) then I think we have a real chance of winning the bloody thing, given that the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea, Spurs, and Utd will all have to come to VP. I know I'm getting ahead of myself somewhat but you can dare to dream 🤞

08 Dec 2023 10:07:43
Love how no one is giving villa a chance against the Gooners, after battering city, u so hope we beat them there's 2 teams in the Prem that i can't stand but respect is Gooners and man united the media would be having fits if we beat there darlings, it's going to a caldron of noise at villa park on Saturday the ain't going to know what's hit them, i'm going to go for a draw, 1-1. UTV.

08 Dec 2023 14:20:00
Can't for Saturday VJ be a great atmosphere down VP again and hopefully a good performance otherwise someone might have something to say about it AGAIN.I would have taken easily 3 points from both of these games beforehand but time will tell if we get 4 or all 6 no matter what behind our wildest dreams this has been a great season so far infact the best I can remember in a very very long time but some will moan for the sake of moaning I guess!

08 Dec 2023 15:00:09
Daz there's nothing to moan about we are playing the best football i have since I've supported villa since 5yrs old and i'm 43 now, i think something special is happening at villa mate, even if we lose we are still set up to have a good season 1or2 signings in jan and we will be setup to be around 4,5,6,in my opinion

08 Dec 2023 17:24:12
RB and a forward and I will be happy fella

08 Dec 2023 19:17:41
Same as well mate and back up gk

08 Dec 2023 08:48:25
Let's give Benjiman a minutes applause before the gooners game as a tribute he deserves from the Villa fans

07 Dec 2023 23:37:18
RIP Benjamin Zephaniah. Poet, campaigner for social justice, Peaky Blinder and Handsworth advocate. But most of all, Villa through and through. 😢😢 I hope his last memory was of last night's game.

09 Dec 2023 05:54:31
Amazing advocate for veganism too, will be sadly missed. Rest in power

07 Dec 2023 22:34:02
The results certainly went for us tonight.How about Everton, sticking three up the magpies . Keeps them and Tottenham, that much further behind .UTV
