@rodders0223 What happened to the old man that can’t move and would get rinsed? 

[Brumerican]

Another Titanic loss for Southampton.

[pacbuddies]

Excellent result. On to Leeds.

I do believe Steven Gerrard may have cracked the problem of how to get Ings and Watkins playing together.

Watch this space.

Chambers looks like a brilliant bit of business. Hes mobile, he's smart and he's got the ability to pick a pass.

Hause and Chambers for £2.5m

You can't argue with that for where we are as a club

Chuck in konsa and even mings and say our 4 CBs cost us circa £35m and its brilliant business

2 Brazilian internationals scored for Villa today, how cool is that? 

They’re like buses!

[Hanky]

Great to see us create some big chances today. Probably could have had more but can’t complain with four. 
 

Watkins and Ings looked very sharp. They couldn’t cope with them and Coutinho in behind.

[DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Great performance, but I still want a fairground. 8/10

I can’t believe we got him for free. I thought he was a decent back up but he’s pushing Konsa for a starting place.

What he does well is, he’ll stride out from the back and foul an opposition player and it’ll stop an attack. What they call a clever foul I suppose. I’ve noticed it a few times. 

On a free, it’s a terrific bit of business.

Wonderful all round. I am happy

[nick76]

Just got home.  

It was nice to watch the game in the Holte feeling comfortable that the win was assured and I could really enjoy the match.  

I’ve criticised Danny and Ollie but great goals and good link up play for the first goal.  

Nice to see Coutinho sitting behind the front two and it working.  

Coutinho was a dream in parts, could’ve easily had a hat trick.  

Just a happy bunny tonight!

Lovely for Coutinho to score in a win this time (as his two previous goals were in draws). I'm so pleased for Luiz to score again at last. And happy for Ings to score again and Olly in back to back games. What a day ! 

[Chasetown Villa]

Brilliant performance and result. So nice to feel relaxed for most of the second half! UTV. 

[MWARLEY2]

Great change of tactics. We were all getting frustrated with the ball ending up in congested spaces in attack against Watford and Newcastle.

Now with Coutinho at the tip of the diamond rather than left attacking midfield he has the whole of the pitch to see and to pick out his passes. He is brilliant at late runs into the box as well. 

Will not work all the time but we absolutely **** with Ralphs set up today . He could do nothing about it at all.

Philippe Coutinho a £140m player plays for Aston Villa

I still can’t get my head around it.

4-0 win, Salmon and Prawn Risotto for tea, box of red wine and the wife has promised to don some get up later. 

What a day. 

Please post photos later.   
 

 

 

 

….Love a Salmon and Prawn Risotto

Worth the enterance fee for the first goal alone. Beautiful pass and Ollie's turn was like a ballerina move. 

Midfield huffed and puffed and nearly convinced but even though we won so handsomely they still seemed a bit disjointed . McGinn, Ramsey and Doug all losing possession and miss hitting passes . 

Defence was solid , Young was great, Ming's solid, Chambers .....what a bargain he's turning into. Cash, he was fantastic today for me , ran end to end, decent in possession and fantastic out of possession, my motm.

Ollie, Ings and Coutinho..... unplayable at times, created loads of chances. If they could be more clinical then we may hit double figures in a single game!

Well done Stevie and UTV, have a great Saturday evening all , I will.

It was really pleasing to see Buendia applauding from the bench, which can never be an easy thing for any player. SG deserves credit for the togetherness he's creating at this club.
