StanBalaban Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well it was good whilst it lasted - Spudzzzz in the next round (at home) We'll take 'em! Doubt the LC is high on their list of priorities, but even at full strength we'll have 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 We'll do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I watched until about 80 minutes then tried to complete it in a stream but the internet wasn't very good .. Great win and Clean Sheet .. Most importantly we qualified .. Hopefully we could an easy draw .. And we qualify from it too .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Back OT, need to see more of Helenius and Tonev before deciding how good they are. Pleased with Bacuna today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 FFS we've got **** Spurs in the next round. Not really the end of the world. They'll not play a full team I'm sure, and I'd rather a second string spurs team than an full strength lower half team who are totally up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Spudz? No worries. Okore is growing in stature, very impressed with his workrate too. MotM. I'm so glad Delph got one as well because he's been putting some graft in of late. Bacuna well and truly put Saturdays iffy performance behind him, so fair play to Lambert for sticking with him. Satisfactory outcome and a clean sheet to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The most relaxed I've been watching Villa for a long time. Well done Rotherham for not getting the hump and getting all unnecessary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 superb, yes they didn't press and we had plenty of time to pass it about but for the 1st time in a long time we actually looked very comfortable in possession, even at our best under MON we couldn't pass it round like that without panicking and rushing it, KEA my MOTM put a shift in, had some really nice touches and looked miles better than last year, westwood was superb as usual, huge relief that weimann scored hopefully he'll push on from here and start banging them in, gabby and benteke brilliant, vlaar much improved and almost as composed as okore easy to forget we've been shit vs this level of opposition at home in this round for a few years now, we've won but never looked this comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Shame it doesn't have the half dozen 1 touch passes before that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Such an audacious chip from Benteke for the assist. Beautiful goal! I could watch it all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks1876 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I voted for Benteke, he was all over the pitch and his goal "**** me, he hung in the air and glided that ball into the net" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Genuinely do not know why or how Benteke did that. Not taking anything away from a great touch and finish from Delph, but Benteke does things with the ball that I can't envisage any player doing.

I think KEA played a very similar ball over the top for Benteke in pre-season. Vs Crewe, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just shown them all on SSN, Weimann's wasn't half bad either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Very satisfactory result. Werent great first half but came out in the second and blitzed them until we made our subs and became a bit disjointed. It was job done by that point. Not overly impressed by Bacuna. Okore was quick and strong but gave the ball away a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think KEA played a very similar ball over the top for Benteke in pre-season. Vs Crewe, maybe? Similar in the sense it was a lofted ball/chip I guess, but the way he managed to get the ball up so high and down into Delph's run out of nothing was sublime. His easiest option would have been to put Weimann in on his right, but instead he just seemed to flick it extremely high with what looked like a delicate scoop.
