We need to come out as if it’s 0-0. They won’t outscore us by two goals unless we fall back and try to defend.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:07pm

28 shots in the first half, between both teams, is the most ever recorded in a PL game.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:08pm

3-0! Grealish. Brilliant goal.

Great run from Jack, 1-2 with El Ghazi, Jack finished it.

Patser · 05-10-2019 4:08pm

3-0 GREALISH - it was so easy too

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:09pm

Nakamba superb winning ball back for that goal too.

Easy Rod · 05-10-2019 4:12pm

Nakamba may prove to be our best bit of business over the summer.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:16pm

Nearly 4. Jack flashes a shot just wide.

rebelomar · 05-10-2019 4:17pm

Im all fir olaying out but I just wish Mings just every so often would clear his lines rather than being to intricate at the wrong time. It's a fine line.

To be fair he's trying to be positive in his play but needs to get the balance right.

Top player though. Been very good again today.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:19pm

4-0! Hourihane.

Great strike from outside the box. Had a very good game today.

A funny goal. Targett won ball back and looked ready to shoot until Hourihane took it off him and struck a beauty.

Patser · 05-10-2019 4:20pm

HOURIHANE SPECIAL!!!!!

Patser · 05-10-2019 4:20pm

Norwich look shell shocked, especially in defence.

What a boost for us today!!

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:24pm

Trez on for El Ghazi.

2 assists for him today.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:30pm

Nakamba is a serious player. Broke up so much play today and got Villa on front foot.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:33pm

Konsa on for Engels, who went off injured after a little bit reckless tackle from Pukki.

Luiz on for Hourihane. Good performance today.

Easy Rod · 05-10-2019 4:36pm

Holding out for a clean sheet would be a nice cherry on top.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:41pm

5-0!

A beauty from Luiz! Curled into top corner from outside the box.

Patser · 05-10-2019 4:42pm

And now a LUIZ SPECIAL!!!!!! Anything Hourihane can do he can do Brazilian style better

Edit: Him and Wesley having fun on the pitch celebrating. Great to see a happy team

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:43pm

Villa have had 12 shots on target today and scored 5 goals.

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:47pm

5-1. Defensive mistake between Mings and Heaton. Heaton seemed to wait for it and then realise it wasn't bouncing back to him.

rebelomar · 05-10-2019 4:48pm

Too many errors from Mings. Needs to bloody concentrate.

Great goals though. Hourihane and Luiz with beautiful strikes

Corholio · 05-10-2019 4:49pm

Mings had a very good game before that, and even that could have been avoided if Heaton kept coming and cleared it.

Full time.

Great result and played some fantastic stuff today. Delighted for Wes, and nicely taken poached goals. Hourihane earning his starting spot now for sure, very good display. McGinn, Jack and Mings excellent again.

Luiz goal.

JPA · 05-10-2019 4:57pm

Wow, sensational result.

Esse85 · 05-10-2019 4:59pm

Excellent result /performance. This should raise confidence levels.
Man City lost here and we win 5-1 ðŸ˜‚

Who gets man of the match?

Corholio · 05-10-2019 5:03pm

Only 4 points off a Champions League place :P.

Nakamba MOTM for me. Broke up loads and does everything quick and simple. Brilliant to rapidly challenge players too.

Esse85 · 05-10-2019 5:13pm

Scott Hogan with the winner for Stoke in injury time too.

CSF · 05-10-2019 5:13pm

Well that was f*cking great

JPA · 05-10-2019 5:26pm

Highlights up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdlvnG8eHfQ

Patser · 05-10-2019 6:42pm

Lot nicer looking at the table now. Suddenly a mid table team with positive goal difference, than relegation zone leaking goals

sc86 · 05-10-2019 8:17pm

Top 4 in sight

basillarkin · 05-10-2019 8:23pm

great to be getting updates of good news today while working, savage result. looking forward to MOTD tonight.

Patser · 06-10-2019 12:45am

McGinn is just brilliant. Energy, heart and then tricks like this too

https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1180604073155821571

LeBash · 06-10-2019 12:31pm

Was in Dubai yesterday and only caught the result (100% win record while abroad is still intact).

How did we line up with Jack, Hourihane and McGinn? Seen the highlights and it looked almost like the 3 played behind Wes, Jack wasnt wide at all.

Some game from Hourihane as well, goal, assist and won the peno. Just watching post match interview as well, scored in all 4 leagues. That's some achievement for him. Hopefully he gets that more forward role for Ireland.

Patser · 06-10-2019 2:27pm

It was a bit like Targett, Grealish and Hourihane all took turns on the left depending on situation and space. And there was little rhyme or reason to it - just look at Hourihanes goal, as it was Targett who won the ball in a central AM position with Hourihane further right than him (and taking the ball off him).

So for a while Targett would bomb on, with Hourihane holding, but Hourihane would also often bomb on if he felt. The biggest unmentioned asset in all this was Marvellous, he really is a revelation, playing already at Kante levels in mopping up any break in the midfield - he's so fast and strong he just gets in and breaks up/ delays any attack while others get back to position.

LeBash · 06-10-2019 10:08pm

Real pity about the Brighton, Wolves and Newcastle results. Big win like that and we dont look much better on the table. Had a good feeling we would spank some team at some stage with all the chances we are making.

It sounds weird but Mings looks like the weakest link with the mistakes in the last few games. I dont think that will last though.

Let’s just hope Brighton don’t get a result next weekend (against us) as Villa have some tough games coming up and vs like vs Norwich those could be some big points if villa can pick them up before those games.

CSF · 07-10-2019 12:44pm

To be honest I’m not even heavily considering Wolves in the race. Too good. Brighton and Newcastle results were very disappointing but thankfully we’re able to talk about it with a smile on our faces without it compounding further misery.

Corholio · 07-10-2019 1:03pm

Villa were the first promoted side to score 5 goals away from home in the PL since Bolton in 2001.

Bounty Hunter · 07-10-2019 1:35pm

Don't lose next week and we should be ahead of Man Utd in the table (can't see them getting anything from Liverpool and the goal difference is currently the same). Doesn't mean anything but will still be nice to see should it happen.

Corholio · 07-10-2019 8:21pm

Funny thing about the season so far is, at the start, I fully expected Villa to lose a good few games early on, getting used to the step up etc and maybe getting hockeyed once or twice but that hasn't happened at all, and games lost have been in a different way. Spurs game was only one in general play, and that only came to the fore score wise in last 10 minutes. Didn't play well at Palace but should have drawn that from THAT decision.

basillarkin · 07-10-2019 8:35pm

whats this about the racist stuff that was on the radio today?

Some song about Nakamba, apparently all over twitter.

Esse85 · 10-10-2019 8:22pm

McGinn playing in Russia tonight, any other starter racking up the air miles?

LeBash · 10-10-2019 8:41pm

Just reading we are being linked with Bowen in Jan. Hes in the last year of his contract. Scores a lot of goals and plays wide, so he probably fits the bill.

Corholio · 13-10-2019 6:58pm

McGinn first half hat-trick for Scotland v San Marino earlier.

Would be fantastic to see him repeat that for villa some day.

CSF · 14-10-2019 6:13am

Mings to start for England tonight apparently. Delighted for him but from a selfish point of view we could have done without it.

Yeah, I can see it now...... Mings plays 89 mins mins and is out for 5 months.

Esse85 · 14-10-2019 11:43am

Mings has all the physical attributes, just needs to cut out getting sloppy and complacent. Almost switches off at times.

He should be fine vs Bulgaria.

Corholio · 14-10-2019 12:40pm

Good recognition for him. Has played very well except a few mistakes here and there. Probably would rather him not involved in the whole English media pit that is their national team to be honest.

Esse85 · 15-10-2019 6:57pm

Hourihane drops to the bench for the Swiss game.
