Came here to say exactly this. Liverpool getting jobbed on one call has created this level of reaction amongst the media. Absolutely hilarious. Refs are humans and will make mistakes. VAR is about improving the referee process, which it absolutely has accomplished. Klopp and the Liverpool players have to love how they have been completely absolved of the loss versus Tottenham. It's all VARs fault. Why does VAR keep picking on Liverpool? Big ol babies. The Top 6 is just mad their little mini league has been gate crashed by us, Brighton and Newcastle. Expect more of this whining in the future from the supposed elite clubs of the PL.

Pau and I have the same paella pan. Pau know's paella. I feel like that should be a shirt at the Villa store lol.

Rewatching the game. Douglas going down like a sack of potatoes and fouling Solly March with his head is too funny. No man as graceful as Douglas could ever fall so clumsily. Absolutely meant it.

Truly amazing that slippy, one of the great midfielders in his generation, could watch Douglas in training every day and think he wasn't part of our best 11. If I remember correctly wasn't it a forced injury that made him finally play Bouba and Douglas together. What a since.

Deano playing him at DM has helped him become a complete midfielder. He can play the 6, 8, and honestly if Unai used one he could do a job at the 10. Truly one of the best midfielders in the PL. I'm going to keep saying it til we are all repeating it.

Darwin is on the bench. I mean Klopp has to right.

I'm enjoying this season so far. Massive pileup for the European places. We may even have a 3 or 4 team title race. Then down at the bottom we can hope against all odds that Chelsea somehow finish 18th .

Steele is what happens when you value ball playing from your GK over any amount of actual goal keeping skills. Cant say I'm a fan but it works for Brighton more often than not.

Put it like this if a Villa player had his leg broke from a tackle like that I would be livid. Could care less about "intent."

Maybe I don't know the game but you can't go over top of the ball while making a tackle. That's why the rule exist. Same rule for the Chelsea red.

So proud of VT. Just one Man City lost and we are ready to believe.

I mean it's absolutely true. No one can deny that. Just trying not to get my hopes up, being a Villa fan and all.

Only 4 goals conceded in that run. My word, we are a force at home. Let's get City and Arsenal in here while we are rolling.

Under 2 on the xG as well. The stat nerdd won't be loving this performance.

YES! Ezri was having none of that. Personified the fight the entire team had today.

Got another assist today as well. Will need to wait for this weekends games to finish but will probably be top 3 G+A in the PL. As I stated a couple weeks ago. You will not find a better striker after Haaland in the PL.

The jump to where? Why would he move from the PL champions 4 years from now. Madness. Jacob needs a better agent if that moves ever happens.

Slight shine to the Mings injury but it has absolutely pushed Ezri out of his shell. You can see him growing into the leader this back line needs. Love it!

Top 10 MF in the world. There I said it.

On a serious run of form. That overlapping run to free up Jacob for the 5th goal was impressive. Legs have to be heavy by then and he is flying down the pitch. Go on Luca!

Number is only going up. Hope we didn't low ball him to start. Whatever it is we will have to pay it. Can't afford his replacement.

Match xG Aston Villa 1.96 Brighton 1.86 I use xG at times but just a reminder no stat is the end all be all.

So Villa fans can clap Ashley Young on his return to Villa Park but Jacob Ramsey congratulating him with a "like" is a bridge to far.

I'm early 40s and my kids call me a boomer. Just a different way of calling old people out of touch which kids will do tomorrow, next year and a century from now.

Or makes his own chances from nothing due to his pressing and incessant running.
