villalad21 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 We used to beat Rodgers a lot under Lambert as well. Hopefully we can keep this tradition going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted January 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2020 Woke up smiling like a Cheshire Cat this morning. Absolutely delighted to get to Wembley again and with a last minute winner makes it even sweeter. So chuffed for Smith, delighted for him. I really hope these last few weeks give us the belief to continue to kick on in the league now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 He’s starting to win me over is our Dean. In fact since the Norwich game where he went 4-2-3-1 he has got my backing. Yesterday I noticed our pressing was very good especially when they went 4-4-2 they changed it after 15 minutes and Kelechi went wide right which caused us problems but we were always in the game. it was like watching his Brentford and Walsall teams. One major concern for me still is our fitness needs improving.Late January and we’re still running out of gas at about 75 minutes in. But much improved since going to 2 defensive midfielders. Well done Dean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Trez, about Trez, when he kicked that ball so slowly and there's five mins left on the board and I mention that we need new wingers, only to see Trez pop up with the winner, he certainly made me eat my words. At this rate I'd rather have Trez on than Ghazi because he don't half go that extra mile to battle and he seems to be getting better all the time.

El Ghazi still the much better player for me but he has also played in tougher leagues and had an extra year in England. Trez will only get better. Decent squad player to have.

TheStagMan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 And have to add. So stoked for Dean. The scenes in the tunnel after the match. The support from Suso, the reactions of the players - he has the dressing room, and getting Villa to Wembley in a cup final must be an absolute dream come true. Can you imagine if we win the final? Potentially we *could* finish comfortably lower mid table, win a cup and be playing in Europe next season! That would be exceptional success, given where we were 12 months ago! I will leave you with one stat...... as Villa manager, Dean smith has won every game we have played at Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over us when we were 15th in the championship. 15 months later - 1) Club record breaking winning streak 2) playoff final win 3) 16th in the prem 4) league cup final And still you're yet to be convinced. Please tell me what more he could have done these last 15 months to convince you he's the right man. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
