Great ball Traoré, unlucky ElGhazi

whats with all the El Ghazi hate? He's scored one, and put one on a plate which somehow Ramsay couldn't get to...

He's doing his job.

Agreed

This might upset a few of our fans

I think it’s only Nick something who keeps banging the “Davis is pooh” drum. Everyone else can see his quality.

Davis has been in the gym over lockdown/summer. 

Man looks like a monster. 

Such an asset. 

Always has been. Strongest striker in the prem.

Front 3 on fire

Please explain why?

Well done Villa. A lot of negativity on here but it was our first match of the season and we started really well but as soon as they had a player sent off they just sat back and made it really hard for us with their well drilled defence. People say we only managed 2 shots on target but we also had a couple just wide of the post from Grealish and one skim the bar from Watkins. I thought Grealish wasn’t quite up to his usual high standardS but it always takes him a few games to get purring. 
Trez, Mcginn and Targett were poor and Cash, Konsa and Martinez were great.

Inject it.

I haven’t the slightest idea what he’s on about? Something about a handball?

the only contentious decision I saw was the penalty and whether Targett actually touched the defender?

10 men that barely left their own box and was the 4th best defence in the league last season.

That’s what I thought, we looked better for first 12 when they had 11 but as soon as they went all out defence their defensive prowess showed as they won everything in the box.

such a well drilled team.

Could imagine Watkins and Davis being a near perfect partnership if 2 up front was still a thing.

Absolutely this. Devastatingly good in every department, apart from.... This is why we're not giving up on him. Patience will hopefully bring big reward here.

I’m hoping it’s a confidence thing as you always hear reports of him scoring loads in training and his all round play is right up there with any striker I’ve seen.

Grealish superb and Davis and Luiz made a massive difference. Davis is such a good player in all aspects other than scoring but if this goal gives him confidence he could easily be our second striker. You don’t often see big strong target men with such ability to know what’s going on around them with flicks and back heels and such.

Absolutely love Davis

This is just turning into a stupid Lansbury bashing. He has made 4 inch perfect diagonal passes, that only Grealish can copy, one of them leading to almost a goal if Ollie hadn’t hid the woodwork.

Agreed and fair play for counting, I knew he’d pinged a few.

Missed that sitter at the end of the first though

That’s fine though as shows he’s in the right place. He missed 2 sitters against Utd last match too but shows he’s always in the right place. Tammy used to miss 2 or 3 sitters for every goal scored. Also Andy Cole used to miss loads of sitters but still scored 20 plus every season.

Hause has a head like a toblerone. 

I always shout “50p head” at him and Samatta when they nut a great chance 20 yards over.

Agree but I think some of these might be too young for that. There is nothing to be gained from going to a strange club and not playing regularly they would still be better off learning in familiar surroundings.

I agree with you smg. This bunch are so young due to our new system of allowing older players to leave and U23 is already a very high level for these players, whom are mostly 17-18-19. I think maybe Jacob Ramsey and Philomen are 2 players that could benefit from a loan but it’s best for the others to learn the Villa way. We also didn’t play any of the new signings tonight.

Such a shame in the end. Really held there own in the first half and then started 2nd well. Sad to see them give up the fight after the 3rd goal though. Jacob Ramsey easily motm for us. Bidace also had a good game but our defence and goalie were awful. Really young team though and certainly held their own for large parts so shouldn’t be too disheartened. I agree a championship loan would be great for Ramsey.
