Physicality, the Dark Arts, Sh*thousery & Menace: Aston Villa no longer a "Soft Touch"

This Villa team is now comprised of players with a little bit of an edge and guile and it is good to see, even if it comes with a price tag sometimes. 

I like that these players stand up for each other.

Watching Diego Carlos play, you can see he was trained by **** favela warlords. He's not phased by anything, and he might be capable of anything to get an edge on the opponent. 

Villa aren't pushovers anymore

today wasnt the "dark arts", today was "brainless stupidity".

We are certainly cleverer under Emery, and not as much of a pushover as we have been for many years, but today wasnt that, today was just maximum brain fart mode.

The thread isn't about just today's game. 

And I wasn't referring to the Kamara brain fart. I was thinking more about the Watkins incident after he scored and how Konsa and Zaniolo were right there with him.

On the whole I agree yeah, we are a more street smart team, or however you might describe it?

We're quite reminiscent of the 93/94 Man Utd vintage - Ince, Bruce, Cantona, Robson etc. Mixture of nasty and tough. Even the more traditionally lightweight players like Kanchelskis had an edge.

And they won things - not the League Cup though ;)
