Jota was poor I thought. Just doesn't get involved enough 

Personally thought he kept the ball very well and was dangerous cutting inside. 

Can't wrap my head around the negative comments for Grealish, mcginn and Jota. Thought they played very well. 

What a performance against one of the teams who should be muscling in on top 6. Unfortunately I could only watch on TV tonight due to not living in In England but I never saw villa park rocking so much in all my years going, made me so proud being a villan hearing the noise over the TV tonight. I feel we are part of a runaway train marching in the direction of success. Hope the owners and Smith stay for the long haul. Patience and appreciation are key for us this season I think.

I'm sorry but someone remind me how much Jota cost us? There people is the bargain buy of the season from any club worldwide. Bloody hell he's a class act.

 

Engels, wow he is our Belgium Mellberg already!

He was excellent, truly exceptional. The guile and ingenuity he showed and oozed confidence. Great performance from the dainty man. 

How good was big Wesley, hope he tones down how good he is. Don't want the sky teams sniffing around

Seamus Coleman and Neil Taylor could be interesting too...

Jesus yeah, how did I forget about that whole debacle.

Yerry Mina v Wesley

Colombia v Brazil

lump on a red card tonight 

Shneiderlin on Mcginn, surely a red there too

I thought he did OK today considering the scraps he was feeding off, didn't have much service. Harsh to judge him based on the first two games I think.

Not sure why Smith continues to play Elmo and Taylor, I guess he doesn't want to meddle with the back four too much but these guys are not PL level it's as simple as that.

Taylor was excellent today to be fair, Elmo was ok. 

Can't gift any team 2 goals in this league, defences are too good at holding out against better teams than villa. We played some nice stuff at times but in reality we were very impotent up front, even our goal had to be a long range worldy. Too many careless passes from all over the pitch including mcginn and Grealish, Grealish I think looks like his confidence was knocked in the spurs game even tho i thought he actually played well until his mistake caused the goal, was poor today, struggling with the pace of the prem but his class will prevail. Douglas's passing was great but he did seem to get out muscled from time to time, in hindsight Hourihanes set pieces could have been vital today. 

There's something very comforting about having two pure quality centre backs and keeper. Goals against us will be thoroughly earned this season.

For balance...

How the f*** have we lost that?? Smith has wasted all our money on rubbish. If we cant beat f*****g spuds away how are we supposed to finish in the top 4??? May as well accept we are going down. Smith out

Spot on

A bit of realism is needed here. Don't wanna come on here every week reading comments from people who think we're title contenders.

We played one of the best sides in the league away. We are a newly promoted team with new signings who need time to acclimatise. Games against spurs, city, plop etc are simply bonus games. The gulf in class between them and next weeks opposition are enormous. 

Many criticising wesley and super jack. Poorer games by their standards granted but wesley was 2 or 3 against one at most times with no support. If he plays like that against brighton, bournemouth et al then granted but give the lad a chance - he's played one game!

Jack was effectuvely playing as a DM today. Not his game and did his best. He is an intelligent player and will learn a lot from today. He will run the show against our 'rivals'.

I absolutely trust Smith and ROK and have seen some huge positives. Heaton  engels, mings, trez, mcginn etc. The season starts next weekend for me and it is then we will start to see what we're mafe of. UTFV

Spot on

I actually thought that Wesley was decent today considering the circumstances. He hadn't much to work with in fairness.

Anybody know whats been sold of the allocation so far?

Aound 2500 of the 3000 allocation sold after the 12+ away games criteria.

Does anyone know if that ticket exchange site is coming back this season?

I just got 14-1 with Will Hill. Couldn’t resist.

i think villa could cost me a lot of money this season. 

Did the same although I only got 11s. Still think there's value in it. 

Maybe too much value... I'm not in it for the money. Just hope every one has a swell old time, might back that actually. 

Think Venezuela might surprise a few people in this. Some very good young players coming through. Also don't think the the big teams are very strong at the moment. 

Bit of an obvious suggestion but would love if we signed Benrahma from Brentford along with Maupay. Both very young with bags of potential and look well capable enough for the Premier league.

That's awesome mate. Love this. 

Did he say anything?

Cheers pal, nah he didn't say much to be honest. Just thought it was very decent of him to stop and take the time for a few fans. Very pleasant man.
