Youri's form dipped at Leicester once Brenda played him further back. He thrived there in a more forward role. And tonight proves his position is, dare ai say, that Buendia role.

Hope all our fans get out and away okay. All the crowd shots of AZ they seemed quite a docile bunch of middle aged Dutch folk, but I suppose it only takes a few to cause trouble.

Above all an excellent team performance. Everyone knew their roles and seemed to know instinctively where the best-positioned player was for a pass. Over the years I have watched other teams doing this and wondered how. Now I know - bloody good coaching.

Apart from a slightly slow start and a minor wobble after their goal, we controlled this game in all areas. AZ didn’t get a look in.  Four fantastic goals as well. 

In the end I gave Bailey MOTM but it’s a close run thing with Tielemans, McGinn, Kamara and Lengelet, all of whom I thought had outstanding games.

Best 90 minutes of football I’ve watched since Sunday.

I'm  going to savour every minute I can of this period in our club's history. No idea where it will go, but it's going somewhere and it's bloody brilliant

If this continues, we are all going to run out of likes

If anything we went 4-0 up to early cos we don't half like to piss about and make it difficult for ourselves when we have a healthy lead! 

 

[Pongo Waring]

I'm shocked. Didn't expect us to win 4-1. Bailey MOTM

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

Awwww. Little lads that age can be so vulnerable. Makes me miss that era of being a dad! Diaby is class.

Quite pointless really, but what the hell…we have now scored 39 goals in all competitions this season (15 games).

We scored a total of 37 goals across all competitions in 2015/16 (44 games).

Thank you for this. I was literally wondering tonight how close we were to total goals scored in that car crash of a season

Never thought we'd have already surpassed it. That's amazing

Anyone got a highlights link?

There is not a single reason to doubt that he will not only achieve as much as he has at previous clubs, but most probably far more given his financial backing and complete control over the football at this club. We are still evolving, but it feels like we're speeding up. 

The feeling for me is exactly the same as it felt in 1977, this is not bullshit it is bizarre, the similarity's make me shudder, masacre teams at home, concede but know it is a minor irrelevance. Do you Believe in the Villa....................................

Great result, some nice goals, the players that came in were good, especially Tielemens and Bailey.

But really and truly if we weren't so clinical in front of goal our sloppiness everywhere else would've cost us.

You almost sound a bit annoyed that we won so convincingly and didn’t take our “deserved”punishment.

Is there some kind of stadium regulation being enforced? Not familiar with that. It seems crazy tho.

[jayEm]

Averaging 2.4 goals a game this season (excluding Hibs matches!) Fantastic stuff.
