    We need to go strong in these games. One of my biggest issues with MON was when he sent the team with no senior strikers to play even on the bench. In the hunt for champions league we blew a whole season of Europa after having fought so hard. in European competitions for the first time in so long- make it count.

    Good confident performance. Exactly what we needed. I was going to give McGinn POTM but Digne gets so much stick on here and I have to say he sent in some really lovely crosses today. please no more serious injuries. I was hoping Bailey’s goal would help give him some confidence and kick on.

    Awesome! Also, the trophy makes a wicked Pina Colada.

    Thank goodness- back on topic. More talk of Zaniola, Reverse Turkey positions and triangles involving zaniola, Luiz and Coutinho. I’m staying for now…

    Dali scores one for France. Great to see the Villa so represented in the Women’s World Cup.

    Beat me to mentioning don’t let Martinez near that trophy. With that shape someone could really get hurt.

    I would love to see more subs in the 60-70 minute range. Emery has been good about this and we now have a team that can strategically justify bringing someone from the bench. Especially with 5 subs you can keep the team at a pretty high tempo.

    Wow, a whole new reason to hate SHA.

    There is a lot to like about the 3 CB formation with who we have. My only concern with 3 CB’s is when Brentford figured it out and managed to isolate the Left and Right and rip us open with someone making the overlapping run on the wing into the large amount of open space. Something the LCB and RCB will get used to hopefully.

    It was interesting seeing him getting pretty mad at Douglas Luiz when he didn’t release him down the wing yesterday. Everyone else was pretty calm but Bailey got really wound up.

    After the game today I watched him methodically work his way along the stands signing every autograph after playing the full 90 in some serious heat. Nothing but big smiles for the fans. Such a class act!

    Really good game today. Took his goal well. It was interesting how fluid the team was in swapping positions on the field.

    Where did you sit KMitch? Behind the Villa goal?

    Thought the last part of the first half we looked fantastic and shows you what a quick talk from Emery will do. With that team we will be sizzling. Diaby looked so sharp for only his second game and newly on the team. Who thought you would ever say great surging run from Konsa for goal. it was hot. Luckily we are now in the shade and quite pleasant. my only wish is though we were in a Villa area the fans were so spread with there being 4 teams and mostly Chelski filling the void it never got rocking but hats off to the fans behind the Villa goal.

    There are tons of the ones you always think about. The Korean War memorial at night was unbelievably moving and beautiful. The new Entertainment Nation at American History was of special note.

    We must have passed each other. I waved to two blokes with Villa shirts on in the NMAH yesterday .it’s the first time in a while my phone has said I’ve exercised enough and to take a rest. hoping for a little cooler and calmer weather today. The storm yesterday afternoon was crazy and glad we weren’t at the match.

    Alright after teaching chants to the kids yesterday on the drive to DC we all woke up and hummed Super John McGinn through breakfast. Hoping we get the stadium rocking tomorrow. The wife said the kids could sing all the words to Tyrone Mings but I’m advocating for select omissions on their part.

    Best of luck Wes. Ashley Young. Everton 2-3 Villa. One of the best winning goals/ moment of magic.

    We are going for sharpie on the white number one but will take anything

    Anyone see Martinez signing stuff after the game last night? The fans all had shirts hung over the rails to sign. Emi signed a couple Villa shirts skipped the Arsenal Fly Emirates shirt in the middle and picked up again with some Argentina jerseys… classic my son has the new black GK kit with Martinez on the back. for signature next week.

    It’s hard to find someone to be the backup keeper the way we are playing now. If our strategy was the typical out to the full back or go long he might be okay. We are asking for the pressure and Emi seems to love it. 2nd half last night you saw us almost completely change how we played out of the back. Where the center or full back might have slid it back to Emi to start again we started to get surrounded by 3 Newcastle players as we tried to eek it up the side already under pressure. With Europe and Cup games that the number 2 is going to see some action regardless of Emi’s fitness.

    A couple of the wet jerseys out there make me a little worried for the teams health in Orlando
