Dont be such a doom and gloom merchant we are better off than most expected at this stage. I will settle for taking 10 points from every 18. That will see us with over 60 points come May, a great improvement compared to the last 3 seasons. At this stage, with minimum investment, its quite positive.

Sanchez definetely well off the pace. Wont judge him on this performance though. Got a feeling that he was also affected by the virus as he looked very slow and lethargic, not at all like his WC performances...give the lad time!

Calm down lads, its only Chelsea next

Sanchez is clearly not up to speed yet. Needs plenty more game time to get used to the PL pace.

Never thought I would see the day when I would gladly accept 0-3 right now!.....how feckin sad!

Well, you could atart by looking at the reasons WHY,

That's not factual though is it? That's your spin on it. NO..its factual Either that or you have completely misundersttood whats happened at VP in the last few years!

4 games to prove the worth of Lambert??.....have you completely lost the plot? Have you not observed whats been happening on AND off the pitch? Do you know about the financial constraints in place? Did you not hear about the bomb squad? PL as kept us in the PL despite those difficult circumstances.....that in itself is a miracle. Moreover, we are now financially stable and moving in the right direction after 3 torrid seasons. Most of that is thanks to the hardwork, loyalty dedication of PL. There are many managers that would have walked if they were in the same position as Lambert. I thank him and congratulate him on a well deserved contract extension! Sorry had I known his spin/PR team would be posting on here I wouldn't have dared expressed an opinion. NOT spin....purely factual, unless you've been asleep for the last 2 seasons!?

Have you SERIOUSLY been following the Villa for the last 2 seasons? If you have been, you would be able to answer your own questions

Great, great news. PL has performed miracles in VERY difficult circumstances. A very loyal and honourable man who stuck with us when managers such as Pulis walked out because of lack of funds. Respect to PL...a well deserved contract extension. Now for Vlaar, Delph and Grealish. Positive times ahead!!

No problem...We've got Luna, Bennet,Tonev and Helenius to come back

No longer a soft touch at the back. We are slowly becoming the 'new Stoke'.....take no fecking prisoners!

Back 4 outstanding....midfield outstanding....the whole team outstanding! 'A star TEAM beat a team of stars' How good does that feel? Sky...wont stop talking about 'Liverpools missing players' NO mention of Benteke, Kozak and very little mention of Vlaarbeing out.....bias or what?

Please, dont rush him back. Sometime in October would be great. No doubt he will play a couple of under 21 games before going into the first team squad.

No its NOT....think back to last season! We are so much stronger this year. Wouldnt be surprised if we equal or improve on those 5 matches from last season. I prefer to concentrate on the Oct/Nov/Dec months when the teams of similar standing to us must be beaten at VP whilst snatching points away from home!

Welcome to VP Tom! Show us what you can do.....and sack your feckin agent!

Manure wont want Vlaar in January IMO. He has a limited shelf life and LVG will undoubtedly be looking longterm as he has already stated. I think concrete will sign his penultimate 2 or 3 contract with us before moving on to a European club. As for TC,,,,well, he best get off to a good start with Villa or it wont be too long before he becomes an obvious target for the boo boys.....that may well work in our favour!

My thoughts exactly. Villa fans are unlikely to be too patient with TC. There will always be those that believe he his using us to meet his own needs!

Comfortable mid table finish for me. I am not panicking at all about the next 5 games...we are not the only side that have to play those 5. Whoever,can gain the most points from those games will be in a good position. After all, we done well against those sides last season, except for Everton who are leaking goals. Moreover, we ran both Arsenal and Liverpool close at home and would have gained all three points at Anfield with our current defence. We also beat Man city and Chelsea at home and were robbed of a point at the Bridge. We had a great win at the Emirates on the opening day and lost to a last minute goal at Goodison Park. I believe that we can do equally well against those sides again especially with confidence being high and a new found resilience. Important that heads do not drop when the first defeat is experienced.

Yeah, well they aint got one of their own

What happened to the defence? Probably wont need any with that lineup!

Aasaidi or Borini on loan?

What about Bentley?
