redrum

has to be barry.

merson no2.

i guess his heads not in the right at the mo, can't blame him really

I though Heskey was brilliant today

me too,if his performances for this season are all like that, we're in 4 a good season

completely satisfied 100%. I think any Villa fan who complains about having O'Neill as manager are the type of people who would find something to complain about even while on holiday in a sunny country, with beautiul scenery, has great historical and architectural delights and sexy girls all over the place. those type of people i just don't like.

First time since Laursen, i've been really impressed with a centre back two games in a row. Collins was excellent today again. Composed on the ball, a good passer and getting his head to everything. Friedel was outstanding also.

Friedel - 9

Cueller - 6

Dunne - 7

Collins - 8

Warnock - 7

Milner - 8

Sidwell - 5

Petrov - 6

Young - 7

Agbonlahor - 8

Carew - 5

Friedel 7

Cueller 7

Dunne 8

Collins 8

Warnock 7

Sidwell 5

Petrov 6

Reo-Coker 6

Milner 6

Young 6

Agbonlahor 7

Very sad about his brother, and in no means should he be rushed back(even if injury free) until he feels he is ready himself. I am looking forward to having him back in our team, our 2nd or 3rd best player last season, and probably our most consistent. Beye did well in the last few games, and I wouldnt mind him deputising until Young is ready. I hope Young has a great season again and gives Capello a selection headache. A better player than Wes Brown surely.

Luke Young, no doubt at all for me

Aston Villa (4-5-1): Friedel, Beye, Cuellar, Clark, Shorey, Milner, Reo-Coker, Petrov ©, Sidwell, Young, Agbonlahor

Subs: Carew, Albrighton, Delph, Heskey, Guzan, Warnock, Gardner.

Our best striker, and a really on form player on the bench????????

Our worst defender playing once again?????????

well, at least Heskey's not playing

nicky shorey pulled out of that challenge once again, ala tuncay goal last season

Heskey contributes as much as graham norton would in a lesbian orgy

beye looks solid alright. what we need this season more than anything else is a reliable back 4. i think we are getting closer to it

its great to have our star striker back. he looks better every time he plays for villa. becoming a true legend at villa park.

amazing goal. great ball by milner. great play by carew.

unbelievable save by cueller

Big half for us. Looking ok so far, i think we'll do it.

POTS

yes!!! come on! first time ive seen young get up from an initail trip actually

everytime i see shorey get the ball, i cant help thinking "you should not be playing for aston villa"

Bit harsh if actually look him play he is a very good footballer, done nothing wrong for me, lay off him a bit.

A lot of ball retention but going nowhere, defenders need to come forward more and draw in their front two at the moment our midfield are coming far to back for it then get chalenged by the fron two instead of the midfield. Draw them in and get the ball to midfield against midfield who can then release the forwards

Come on!!!!!!!!

He's a championship level left sided midfielder, playeing at left back in the premiership.

edit....it'd be like peter whittingham playing left back for us, and saying he's alright, he can play the ball a bit. not a bad cross, but cant defend to save his life

reo-coker would be useful today

great free kick

they seem a decent side also. i missed the 1st game

everytime i see shorey get the ball, i cant help thinking "you should not be playing for aston villa"

heskey looking prolific

great to see carew back
