Twas a cracking goal.

Top drawer.

Drool.


If it wasn't for Szobo's own worldie, it would definitely be goal of the matchday weekend.

Hughes.
Step to it.
(...or on it).

[Steveo]

Knowing our luck he’s probably going to step in it.

[RedMagic]

Sarr makes it 3-0 to Crystal Palace.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Palace are a pretty tidy side, to be fair.

They've really managed this game well playing in hostile ground.

Their Community Shield win against us wasn't a one-off.

[Insidious]

Villa need to be getting points from the likes of the Burnley and Sunderland fixtures as going away to Everton looks tricky at the moment.

Villa are off to a really poor start this season for a side with European ambitions. Loads of time to remedy it of course but you want to start chalking up the points.

They've been on an upward trajectory over the past couple of years. Definitely a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Too right, this.

As much as I hate to admit it, Moyes has made the Shites a tougher prospect for easy points pick-ups not just this season but going all the way back to last season after he returned to them.

That means the games against the promoted teams and the likes of the Scum are must wins for teams like Villa to get those "easy" points*.


(*no such thing in the Premier League, I know)

It seems like the Unai magic might have won off for Villa.
They've lost a lot of important players over the last two seasons to be fair, but still.

[LFC-DPG]

Yes and Martinez to Man United will be a big blow.

Can’t understand why they are selling so many players unless it’s all down to PSR.

PSR is a bigger issue for Villa than for a lot of sides.

They really needed to be in the Champion's League this season to maintain their level of expenditure and hold onto their best players.

Fuck knows what the Northern Ireland keeper was doing there for Germanys second. he came out half way into his box for no reason

Two German players were going for the cross.
The first one missed it, and I think the keeper was expecting the first to get it.
I wondered at the time if the scorer was offside tbh.
