I agree with the first two sentences, but not the last one.

Nearly didn't bother going, decent game overal and gives me confidence for the next few games
Deserved win today. We got better as the game went on and started to create some chances and look a lot more threatening in the second half. Glad some questionable VAR call with some dodgy lines drawn didn’t ruin the game and in the end we got the win we deserved.

I hate VAR. It has ruined football.
Was the Gross one dodgy? I was pretty much square on to it and it looked offside to me straight away
Maybe changing it is itself the key to victory?
A bit harsh. I’d say it was a disciplined performance. Buonanotte and Pedro had clearly been instructed to stifle Douglas Luiz and McGinn up to that point as they were man-marking them. Very effective. Then we became a bit more adventurous when Enciso came on with Villa tiring and frustrated. All part of the plan in my opinion.

It will be nice if we could now get one or two more wins (Hopefully Chelsea , but if not Man U )
You can tell how short of confidence the team has been, but now there is a chance to finish on a bit of a high.
What I liked today was the fact we were slightly less open than previously, and they only really had one clear cut chance.
It would be good if Enciso is ready to start again next week, he gives us something that is missing from other players, especially without Mitoma.

Do you watch us regularly?
And to the RDZ out contingent, today's win has nothing to do with tweaking a few things. And the appearance of confidence was due to the fact that Villa are well-known to be shit.
The win was pure luck. Fact.
I'm glad you've posted that.
I'd hate to have my opinion challenged by an encounter with actual reality.
And after beating yet another of the top EPL sides, in a 'come and get me' win, RDZ is definitely off.
Probably to Bayern Munich, or West Ham. Fact.

From the Villa forum:
“We were that shit Brighton even bought one of the ball boys on as a sub”
“We were that shit Brighton even bought one of the ball boys on as a sub”
He should be so lucky. The moment the season's over, Tony Bloom's going to call him to his office and BOOT him back to the job centre where he belongs.
We'll get a proper football man in who can MOTIVATE the players AND get them scoring GOALS and won't HAVE any oF this tippy tapping around AT the BaCk NONSENCE.

I have changed this
I was one of them, that wanted it.... I agree, I like celebrating goals when they are scored
May I recommend starting out with hope, and perhaps even optimism? Otherwise you may find yourself in a right old pickle. Very quickly

Pretty fair assessment. Nice to see Adingra back on it and as you say just the final ball was lacking at times. Enciso when he came on also added an injection of pace and directness. The manner of the win was critical as well since it was totally deserved and should raise confidence levels.
Let's hope RDZ's rapid exit down the tunnel was purely indicative of him wanting a dump!
