Aston Villa (H) - Sun 3rd Sep 2023 (2:00pm)

[mike23]

Really good performance and a comfortable win from what had looked like potentially a difficult fixture. 10 points from 12 is a really decent return from this set of opening fixtures.

Jota must have been pissed about starting on the bench, as that «performance» must have been some kind of protest

You think he got drunk? 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Managed that game out as well as I can remember.

 

Our new midfielders are soooooo much better than those whom they've replaced it's scary.

 

Made up for young Quansah too.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Dominik is an absolute dreamboat that scores shit pingers with his weaker foot. 

[angie]

Not one heart attack moment the whole match. I could get used to this.

[Freddo]

Routine win which is a good sign. No need to exert too much energy against an average side. Let's hope for good news with Trent and Ibou back for wolves. Let's also hope they don't hammer Virgil.

Squad looks strong but could have done with a few more additions, namely to the defence.

Schmeichel saying it didn’t feel like a 3-0 game!!! We fucking battered them.

He's right. It felt more like a 5-0 game considering the chances we missed. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Still sort of miss seeing Milner come on and clatter someone at the end of a game like that.

I can live without it.

“Peter, Peter. Always whining, Peter.”

[magicrat]

Would have liked more goals against a lacklustre Villa . Emery needs to stop drinking their blood of he expects them challenge top teams,.  Gomez very good again and Mo adding another 50 mill to the next Saudi bid.

So all good today .

[an tha]

Most controlled and organised seen us for a while....Playing with a midfield that has legs, mobility and importantly too a bit of creativity/threat makes a real difference.

 

Mac Allister and Szoboszlai were excellent today and offer big upgrades for us....with much more to come.

 

Shame we have to stop for that frigging international shite now - as would really love to see us play again quickly after that.

 

One other thing the absolute state of Aston Villa fans - that dirge of a "national anthem" which was bad enough and sign on - sign on, from people from Birmingham/West Midlands - absolute fucking beauts....

Rafas former assistant Paco Aysteran there?

Yes.

[Tenfolder]

Decided i need to tackle the 3ft high grass in my garden and that would probably be a better use of my time today so happy to see I was proven wrong and it described as a routine win. Only downside is a potential Trent injury(maybe one day we'll learn to buy backup before an injury, maybe).

[magicrat]

Fucking Beglin was a disgrace on comms. He's Tyler on Steroids when it comes to sticking the boot in .

Can't stress that aspect enough. A clean motherfucking sheet!

[Jurgen Knows]

The Trent experiment is working. More of the same please.

[an tha]

Let's hope Klopp does not come out and describe TAA's injury as minor.....

I'm sure Endo can manage it. 

[Elite]

Macca and Slobz are both outstanding players. Calm, use the ball well, work hard and don't shit themselves under pressure. Astronomical upgrade.

[bizzle10]

10/12 points from a relatively tough start nice one boys 

[suzy]

I didn’t see it but sounds like we played well. Great stuff.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Well, that was all rather enjoyable.  Really good performances all over the park (even those areas where we all thought we'd struggle).  A potentially tricky fixture turned into a very comfortable Sunday afternoon stroll in the sun.  Once we got on the front foot early on, Villa never looked like getting back into it.

 

Uncontroversial opinion: our midfield is better than last season.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Our defence, including sub, cost less than £10m. 

[Elite]

Manchester's Anthony Taylor.
