It's great but then he just doesn't shut up. It gets very Partridge, "drink in that grin!"

 dont mean the commentary per se. More just the scenes and everyone celebrating, Unai’s smile, the players rejoicing. Thats the goosebumps i meant

[BleedClaretAndBlue]

Love that man. Cant help but grin when he speaks

We all started really believing on the 10th January 1981, when we beat Liverpool 2-0 at Villa Park. Was last night's equally well deserved win against Citeh a repeat of that moment?

This is our best start to a top flight season since then and our most successive home wins since 1903....day's just don't come much better than this one!

I like when he says he watched Villa vs Newcastle and they all start to nod in agreement...

Yeah, all expecting him to wax lyrical over the jawdee nation

Might sound like an odd comment but this felt different even from the 7-2 win over Liverpool where we had a very spesific tactic which worked which was playing  it long over their line.

This felt more like going toe to toe and absolutely hammering them. We suffocated them out of the game with relentless pressure. I've not seen anything like it in my lifetime as a Villa fan.

agree, i said in another post that the Man City 1-0 is a better result than the 7-2 versus Liverpool.

We did well versus Liverpool, but it was one of those games where we sucker punched them and everything seemed to drop right, against Man City, the European Champions, we dominated them back to front, from beginning to end, it was a totally different level of performance.

Dream was unrealistic. City only had 2 shots. 

One shot, his run for the header was from an offside position.

wow, what a performance. Tremendous in every department.

The stats are insane

I'm surprised the City xG is as high as it is given they only had two shots all game.

[Brumerican]

I had a treble Jameson and ginger ale at full time last night so technically even I had more shots than Man City.

He was really good. Only moment I questioned was that yellow for Kamara, but was probably deserved tbh. Otherwise the game just flowed, was great to watch…

Early doors I did mention I didn't want to jinx it, but the ref seemed a good one.

It wasn’t even toe to toe, we fully stepped on them.

Never thought I wouid see the day when we out man citied man city.

Still don't get the possession stats. I commented in match thread in first half we had the ball for +5 minutes

He did also have the moment where he played the advantage to Man City after a foul and, once they lost possession, he brought it back for the free kick. You can't have both just because you lost the ball.

Other than that, he did a great job. Very balanced performance.

Probably the amount of time it was in Ederson's hands or their defenders scrambling to get the ball away.

Wasn't ollies goal offside? 

[chrisvilla4]

Man city? Completed it mate. 

[Vive_La_Villa]

Can’t remember a game where every single player performed so well. If weren't for Ederson would have been a lot more comfortable scoreline wise.
