Noted Joshie. It was a very good goal and showed the class of Cahill. What a tragedy we did not see the best of him in a Villa shirt.

Still has to be Chris Nicholl due to :

  • It was a very good goal from anyone, never mind our stopper!
  • It was in a League Cup Final
  • At Old Trafford
  • He was (is) a great bloke who made the most of his talent.
  • You had to be there!

I rest my case 😀

 

ps, Cahill, Staunton ( still remember the rattle of the posts when it went in), Neilson, George Curtis. All great goals! 

UTV

Had to go to the local archives and copy a sample  but it's hard to argue with the facts.

Was it only 19 days ago that despair here was at its lowest and there was open talk of sacking Gerrard, selling most of the squad, and starting again from scratch? 
  
Or maybe the nadir was even closer in time, when the team for the Brighton match was announced. I will never forget  the gloom on that day.

But here we are, three wins and clean sheets later - and this one was the best of all. The 4-3-1-2 is working brilliantly. Cash was absolutely on fire all match and easily wins MOTM. But it was an excellent team performance all round. We defended well, pressed well in midfield and attacked brilliantly. And suddenly we seem to have a really strong bench.

Haven’t enjoyed a match so much in a long time.

We are in the top half and these performances give me real hope we can stay there.

All opposition fans abuse Mings. It’s really weird.

Loved it when we walked up to them at the away end and gave them the thumbs up. Ashley Young was pissing himself laughing.

Booed their team off at half time and full time, chanted Bielsa’s name when the third goal went in and behind the goal there was an exodus.

They are a special bunch.

Coutinho is pushing Grealish to the title as 2 nd  most talented Villa player ever (just below Cowans)

 

It's still early in his Villa career, but at this point, I think I'd rather have Coutinho.

Martinez - had absolutely sod all to do.

Cash - brilliant all game. Sets up the first rescuing a chance that looked to have gone, gets a great second goal when he had all of Yorkshire to work with, and never stopped running. Superb 

Chambers - solid defensively and that goal, crikey. Astonishing finish.

Mings - lives rent free in every Leeds fans mind.

Digne - defensively he's suspect but going forwards he does give us a bit more threat and gets involved in a lot of good moves. Probably best summed up with the lovely link up with Ings that eventually lead to the first goal.

Luiz - could of nice set pieces but this was the kind of match that wasn't going to make a DM shine.

McGinn - tenancious and really unlucky to not take a goal home.

Ramsay - a quiet game. Flashes of what quality he has, powering forwards, but then kinda had the game pass him by.. He's probably earned a game or 2 rest.

Coutinho - what more can you say. Ball sucks to him like a magnet, needs 3 men to tackle him, and makes magic happen. Superb.

Watkins - looks more comfortable and confident than he has all season. Still has the usual issues - he's never going to be the guy that makes that pass to his teammate when he could shoot instead. But not bad.

Ings - tonight you saw why he's a good player. He didn't score, but his movement made chances on its own, his link up with Digne made a goal from nothing, and his assist for Cash was obscenely good.

Sanson - came on and immediately showed he's got quality. Lovely touches and link up, calm and up for a fight too. Needs to play.

Buendia - such good passing and vision. And incredible fight in him. Great.

Young - came on to see the game out and did exactly that. Showed how good he was in one moment where he volleyed a throw in, first time, a perfect cross field pass to Cash.

Great performance. Great. Leeds weren't great, but their style of super intense pressing will hurt many sides even with their issues, and we weathered it and smashed them. It really should have been 6, at least.

You could have mentioned Cash's clearance in the 6yrd box from that dangerous low cross. How vital was that ?

Now that we've established that Chambers' was not in fact the greatest goal of all time by a Villa centre half, I can say with great confidence that it was the greatest goal of all time by a Villa centre half "this season". But we should stand back and stand by on that one just in case. 

To the game and it was probably our most comfortable performance of the season, even though we took a while for it to really click. 

We could have had Emi Buendia in goal and not conceded to be honest. 

Cash is in very fine form right now, along with plenty of his team mates. 

I thought Dougie was the unsung hero though and put in a very disciplined performance that glued everything together.

Good performance, but Leeds were atrocious

Funny how Brighton and Southampton on half decent runs were poor against us, then Leeds too. It’s very possible because we didn’t let them play.
