Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Bournemouth

[Keener window-cleaner]

Our first goal was fantastic, build up play from the back, ending in a move where we have 5(!) players in their penalty area and McGinn just outside. Our tactics and style of play is fantastic!

Job well done, they had me worried for a while though.

Mings was outstanding and Moreno has really grown into his role.

Good to see JJ have a good game as well.

Finally up to 10 even if it's only for 2 hours or so.

Those above us are now in sight.

Are we officially safe?

Upcoming fixtures have a ton of points available in them. We could sneak up into top 7 if we can be more clinical with our finishing.

[Sulberto21]

Easy work! Next!

[Zhan_Zhuang]

Good performance and three points, again and another clean sheet.

Three players could have got Man of the Match for me Luiz, Mings or Ramsey.

I went for Ramsey as I thought his movement with the ball was quality today, he was strong, quick and direct and deserved his goal.

Moreno is looking good too.

Cash played another good game up against some tricky players today.

Really like Buendia but looked poor today and Bailey looks shot to bits.

You know, Gary? I will tune in tonight.

[Sulberto21]

Liverpool and Leicester games really annoying now as we should have won both with the amount of chances we had. 

[Leeroy]

Great performance. Ramsey was great today, hope he can find some consistency now.

 

Finally into the top 10, let's hope Everton can do us a favour so we stay there. 

[leemond2008]

I don't think I've ever wanted anyone to score more than Mingsy with that chance he had at the end

 

[maqroll]

10th place! Let's go Everton!

[Farlz]

Complete control. Unai masterclass. 

[Johnnyp]

What’s this wizardry. It’s almost like we are doing on match day what we practice in the week. 

[Ponky]

Can you imagine if Bournemouth had managed to get some sort of result out of that? Imagine the ramifications for the relegation race based on that absolutely atrocious VAR non decision?

Still there wouldn't be a fraction of the hand wringing there was over Nyland's incredible save against Sheffield United

[TheMightyVillans]

closer to top 4 than relegation now. What a turnaround.

Agreed. Clear pen. Delighted we still made them pay.

[HongKongVillan]

Sounds like a great win. Would still be **** nice if someone from PL or Stockley Park to explain why they didnt give any of the handball call to us, you know, just educate me!

[Ponky]

Really want to see Archer in this team next season.

[VillaAlex]

There should be a separate vote for the referee and VAR these days. He was fine and at speed you can't expect him to see the handballs.

VAR were a joke though.

Everyone was positive in someway today. Mings, Luiz (Motm), Ramsey, Moreno and Cash in particular. 

[DaveAV1]

I’ve just seen a proper team play a full 90 minutes and with a number of contenders for MOTM. We controlled the majority of the game and won convincingly 3-0. I have one question of Unai, where have you hidden the Aston Villa team that you inherited back in November?

[Ponky]

Just seen the Southampton peno against Spurs. There's some real VAR shenanigans going on today.

Funny, I thought Cash was excellent today. Konsa had a bit of a mare 2nd half though

Both struggle massively with balls over the top. Cash is tenacious whereas Ezri just plods along. I thought Cash had a better second half in fairness.
