TheEgo Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Absolutely brilliant performance from the boys today, each and every one of them were excellent. All played with passion, determination, skill and more interestingly, freedom. Shackles were off and everyone looked like a weight had been lifted. Anyway let's not worry over the new manager or JM going today (who was magnificent) and let's just bask in the start of a new season and a GREAT performance. 10 out of 10 to Allbrighton and Petrov and 9 for the rest, best performance in years for me.
dudevillaisnice Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 It was like watching a different team play... it was outstanding! the freedom, teamwork and determination was all there .. best performance in a while!
C4rvillan Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Hope we can keep it up and put together a long run.
Majkee Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 I can barely remember better perfomance. Total demolition, should be 10-0 I am proud of Villa today. My MotM: Marc Albrighton
Designer1 Posted August 14, 2010 VT Supporter Posted August 14, 2010 Very proud of the way we played today, some of the football was scintillating. Very sad to see JM go now, he was very good indeed. As for Albrighton? Well, IF he can keep up the consistency we have real gem on our hands.
Stu_The_Villan Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Wow. Looked like a totally different team! Brilliant performance. I like the fact that we now have someone in charge (for the time being at least) who isnt afraid to use his subs and put the kids in, and fair play to the lot of em they stepped up to the mark. Very encouraging. Marc Albrighton is going to be some player aswel.
Ingram85 Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 said everything i wanted to in the match thread and everyone else will say everything here a hundred times over, but **** me was albrighton class today. MOTM. Great performance by the whole team. Hope L. Young stays.

Rino8 Posted August 14, 2010 Visiting Supporter Posted August 14, 2010 I think Young was key to alot today, having somebody upfront who has a good first touch and can pass the ball gives us alot more options, usually Carew would win the ball and be forced to either flick on to Gabby, or knock it 10-15 yards back to Petrov/Milner leaving us with the other teams midfield infront of us, today Young was there to get the ball, run with it or quickly move the ball forward with a pass.

Demitri_C Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 top performance. big mac should be proud of himself that was a excellent performance from him. albrighton was outsnading
P3te Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 isnt it amazing how fresh players look when they keep the ball
MasterVillan Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Good performance, was really impressed by Albrighton and Jimmy(be sad to see him go). Where was Gabby today? is he injured?
smokingzen Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Wow, what a game, I can't remember seeing us play like that for the majority of a game for a long time. As others have said, we just seemed to play with freedom today. We played with great style, passed the ball around brilliantly, had variation in our play and created more chances than i can remember. I know it's too early to say, but if MacDonald can get us playing like that on a regular basis I would be happy to see him take the reigns permanently. That's the kind of football we should be seeing at home. And who says we can't win playing beautiful football.
C4rvillan Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Feck me, Weiman and Bannan also got on for us, happy days!
