Ratings & Reactions: Middlesbrough v Villa

[The_Rev]

Wonderful performance.  What a month, smash Derby 3-0 at Pride Park, hammer SHA at home, have a game for the ages against Forest and then play Middlesbrough off the Park at their place.  We are scoring for fun and it's against teams who have excellent defences.  Bring on the Baggies!

some comments from the Boro Forum:

"They deserve that :0( "

"Villa look so much better than us. Quicker, sharper, more direct, far better at passing, stronger at pressing and forcing mistakes, winning all the 50/50 balls. There's a real gulf in class here, It doesn't say much for our promotion prospects when we're being comprehensively outplayed by a team not even in the play-off positions."

"Villa look good going forward - They are dominating midfield and beyond at the moment."

"They are a class above us "

"Their plan was obviously to blast us away in the first 20 mins as the were pretty unplayable in that time. "

 

How nice it is for ppl to be saying that about us, rather than us saying it about others....been so long since we were the attacking intent/passing/threatening side.........its orgasmic

Now they're all afraid us. Very afraid.

We are genuinely a pleasure to watch. Can't remember the last time we were?

Smith has worked wonders and much quicker than I could have ever have wished for.

Superb win, it’s a joy to watch us play football again compared to that crap bruce played 

[Hanky]

Top win! Everyone was great. Smith has completely transformed us.

Just watched game back and changed my motm to Chester. Much better captains performance.

We're scoring goals for fun. That tough run of games doesn't look so tough now. The referee missed a clear penalty and we still scored 3! 

Beware everyone else in the division we're coming for you!

Fantastic to watch brilliant result.

what I love most was under Bruce we’d have crumbled with the 3 games we’ve played in the last 6 days. Under Smith we’re just getting stronger and stronger. I love it.

Very impressed with Deano ability to improve players performances.Looking at El Ghazi,Tzanebe even Taylor they are playing better than ever.

Many people have talked about new players and they can time to settle ,time we don't have.Better to improve the players we do have.

Scoring 6 and conceding 0, and were very unlucky away to Norwich too. 

Had we played Norwich a few games later we might well have turned them over too,

Not looked that good going forward since the peak of Little's reign probably, or big fat Ron with Dalian and Deano up front...

Just took the head staggers and put a tenner on villa to win the league at 17-1!
