This is a depleted squad .. and I think we can be even better... That's what's " scary "

No doubt we're not at full strength, we've got to invest in Jan to compensate and it's never the best market but get Buendia and Mings back end of season and a summer window and well, next year you'd think our first XI will be CL standard?

So glad we put in that performance and result…

Great performance. Nice little cameos from Bailey and Youri. Remember that massive deflection when some commentator tells you how many goals we've conceeded at villa park in open play.

Great win and performance! 

Side note, the commentary on the US stream was bizarre - so begrudging of giving any praise and desperate to dismiss our prospects for the season despite acknowledging that we've got the 2nd most points this year. Lee Dixon sounded bored and he and the commentator were happiest talking about a game that was played at Villa Park 24 years ago. Idiots. 

The dreary drivel that Dixon emits is nauseating.

But really genius quote of the day goes the Phil Neville at half time talking about Watkins & Diaby.

"These two attackers like to pass the ball to each other and when you have that, it's very dangerous for the opposition."

Really Phil, I can't believe you're not managing Real Madrid FFS

Commentary these days is trash. Most of them offer little insight, they're biased toward the London clubs and top 4, and the pundits regularly show through their ignorant comment how little they watch Villa.

A year into Emery-ball ....another curse broken. All hail Emery , slayer of demons.

Superb performance all round. Got a little nervous when ollie pulled the first chance, but once we went ahead it was smooth sailing apart from about 10 mins. 

What a position to be in. What a manager we have. Happy, happy days.

He's my Cousins lad, had the best day today, sad as hell for him though 

[Annoyman]

Good little bit of proactive play by Zaniolo to create the opening for the first goal. We're a bit overreliant on him with Ramsay out but he's got something, and hopefully he'll develop a similar level of understanding with Watkins as Diaby has. And not get banned forever.

Also an assist for Tielemans which might be something for his confidence, though Leon will rightly take the plaudits. For all he hasn't been as consistent as we hoped just yet, shifting it onto his left in that part of the area is often a death sentence for the opposition. He did it against "Leeds United" and when was the last time you heard anything about them?

 

Also a good weekend for being grateful that we have a top class keeper who doesn't chuck many in his own net, even if his hamstrings do become terrifyingly fragile during the last 15 minutes of games we're winning

We were so, so overdue to paste these. They're always a tough game for us, but it really felt like a gulf in class in the styles of football became apparent as the second half wore on. We were also a bit fortunate that Antonio looked knacked and only really contributed one dangerous ball in; feels like West Ham definitely have a platform to develop if they keep the good players they have and get a new manager and centre forward

Please no weirdly limp performances against AZ and Luton now! No Kenneth.

I really like all of our players.

There was a long time during the darks days when I couldn't say that.

[Villarocker]

When we play Man City at home it will be winner goes top. Who'll bet against us? 

[troon_villan]

Not just beating but pummelling the teams around us is so satisfying.

[Gompedyret]

I saw a lot of mispasses from positions not too pressured, which usually would have annoyed me to no end and cost us. And STILL 4-1. Wow.
