Yeah 85 out of 94 successful passes tonight.

90% success rate.

What a player we have here.

Hardest place to go.

Lots of positives, Makoun looks superb again, Bent scores and some nice passing. I expected a defeat so I'm not too disappointed.

Onwards and upwards.

If people get on the teams back after that then to hell with them.

BENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Here comes the back lash. Houllier out.

They are unbeaten and top of the league, I would have been ecstatic with a draw.

We have a nice run after this.

Cuellar is always more useful against the better teams due to his aerial strength.

Very surprised he;s not starting.

Come on, people who think its fixed.

Grow up.

Pires.

Genius singing from Gerard, everything he touches turns to gold atm.

Considering it was his first game in a very strange atmosphere and shit pitch, he peformed well IMO.

His passing looks good, like to pass it first time, nice first touch.

Very promising.

Totally behind him now, maybe that's knee-jerk? I don't care.

Bent has added a new dimension in the final 3rd (and own half in the last 10 minutes), Makoun looks very good, the players seem motivated and behind Houllier.

Unbeaten in four games and moving on up. Everyone has to be behind 100% now, for the good of the season and the club.

Nothing witty of insightful from me.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"You dont know what you're doing"

:D

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Makoun looks outstanding.

Makoun looks like a lethal passer.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

That last 10 minutes was hell on earth.

Cuellar, Dunne and Collins were incredible tonight.

Bent, great finish, caused nusance and ran his socks off.

Have a tear in my eye tbh.

Rumours going round that Isaiah Osbourne has gone the other way as a deal sweetener.

Betn has scored 7 goals against Man City btw fellas :D

4-30 my friends.

Within 20 minutes apparently...

I love that the OS has no mention of Bent, just waiting for the confirmation to unleash the full payload of this bombshell

Oh yes they have!

Not signed yet but looks like it's on!!

They must have added that about 30 seconds after I posted :shock:

Perhaps they saw my message 8)

I think we will finish top half now tbh. I'm very confident.

Think of it...

Bent dint have to think twice when we came knocking, what a massage that says to the other players in the squad.

We're spending big money. No more promises, talk and innuendo. We're ACTUALLY spending 24m on one player. Another great message to the players.

Lerner is completely backing Houllier. The players now know that he isn't going anywhere, they will be fully behind him.

The fans are starting turn off Ged. We all know we needed a striker, a poacher. He has gone out and spent huge to get one of the best available. Fantastic statement of intent to the whole league.

Two transfers before the 20th Jan with supposedly more to come. Fantastic.

This is a great day to be a Villa fan and one we have deserved. Top half and you can quote me on that.

Maybe its just because of the run we've had or the league position but I'm deliriously happy today

Collymore loves MON doesn't he?

In Stan's autobiography he waxes lyrical about MON when at Leicester, really adored him. He also did an interview with him at Bodymoor when it first opened.

This is the biggest signing Villa have made since Collymore.
