Assuming you mean Burnley aren't that good?

Yes. I didn't word that very clearly.

Felt a draw would probably have been fair - we should have had the first half penalty and we were the better side second half, but Wolves created the better chances.

Delighted with the three points and pleased for the unexpected hero of the hour - well done Annie.

Game pretty much ruined by Mike "Me me me" Dean who seems to have woken up thinking he was going to referee a war and made sure that the card count added up to that - he was inconsistent in his bookings and decisions and whipped out eleven yellow cards in a game that merited maybe two, He's a buffoon.

Dendoncker should have been booked but wasn't.

He was booked for the shirt pull mate. He did it really quickly.

Ah that's a cracking result, especially under the circumstances. It's so, so nice to have a reassuring presence in goal, the decision-making and leadership Matinez shows makes such a difference, on top of the shot stopping

Balls of steel from Anwar there, was worried when I saw him taking it (because I don't want him to get more abuse), but he was nerveless. He's on BT now saying that he wasn't nervous at all because he trains them a lot and Grealish told him to take the pen, which is good leadership imo

Though Ramsey held his own in a difficult situation and he was calming things down during that little beef on the halfway near the end as well

A few beefs aside it wasn't really a bad-tempered game, if you saw the stats without seeing the game you'd be expecting a gd bloodbath

Sucks to be without Luiz and Cash, who has picked up a few daft bookings

Its lovely to snatch a game we didnt fully deserve after some of the recent travesties in results! 

I'd much rather see us lose playing well than lose playing rubbish for this very reason, gives the players the confidence to keep at it when things aren't going their way in the game. Much better that than somehow getting points on the board playing turd every week.

We don't like to draw do we!? Great win. Makes up somewhat for the two miserable defeats last season by Wolves.

Love it

I have to say Matty Cash that second half, knowing he was on a yellow and missing some big games coming up reminded my of Roy Keane knowing he was going to miss the champions League final and putting in a collosus of a performance. This kid should be in the next England squad. A bargain.

Has there ever been a more clearcut Man of the Match? What a performance from Martinez. Didn't put a foot wrong. Safe hands. Good distribution. Commanded his box.

Although if we go by the "Time Man of the Year" definition of MOTM, as in the person, good or evil, who most defined the game... then clearly it was Cock Walloper-in-Chief, Mike Dean. What a silly little man he is. Absolutely ruined the game from start to finish. Was desperate to reach his 3,000th yellow, and then get started on the race to 4,000.

A very mature performance from Jacob Ramsey. He doesn't panic on the ball, doesn't try and do anything too clever. That could be an excellent partnership with Douglas Luiz going forward, and some useful cover for when Douglas Luiz gets injured/suspended.

We've nicked the 3 points there, but great to see the players down to 10 men, still fighting for the win and getting rewarded for it. Also great to see the team spirit. A proper battling performance, a bit low on creative quality (especially from Traore, but also Grealish tbh), but we got there in the end.

One of those where there will be plenty to review and fix. The draw was the fair result, but we deserved a bit of luck after the recent run.

I gave my mom to Ramsey just because for his first prem start I thought he was excellent but I agree emi was superb in goal and the rest was a battle. 
 

Clearly the mom was Mike Dean though I’m sure the refs association will love his cards total today

I dont think my mother would be too impressed if i did that!

Is that a referencing to shutting the Wolves up?

[nepal_villan]

This win helps average out the controversial loss against West Ham. We are still owed something for BHA 

Martinez is amazing. Already accounted for 6 points this season. Nice to see Ramsay get 90 min and AEG a goal.

Mike Dean being his usual self, as always everything will be Vaguely justifiable but the standard including VAR is no way better then 20 years ago, w4nk.

What a lovely feeling to have been the points robbers rather than robbees for a change

[SuperTed]

I honestly don’t see how opposition fans can slate Deano. He’s so honest in his analysis and I think is such a likeable bloke. Well done Villa. 

[The_Steve]

Kudos to AEG. Speaks very well here about the game and working hard, the right attitude. Stepped up when it mattered. Respect.

Martínez outstanding today. Thought Targett was excellent throughout also. Well done El Ghazi for stepping up. Nice to win a scrappy 3 points.
