Well I wasn’t particularly enthused when I saw the line up but credit to them they’ve played well so far and roughed up villa a bit - class can tell eventually though so need another half like that. Hopefully Farke remembers he has fresh legs on the bench!

Not sure how Nmecha is not offside for the goal from the Stach header.. A large slice of luck for us there

Interesting to note once again

Passes in the opposition half are up on average (48% whereas more recently been 42/43 and even down as low as 30s and 20s)

And long passing average is up.

This is a theme when we play well.

Be interesting to see if these hold 2nd half (Hopefully)

Don't think this ends 1-0. We need another. Not time to take the foot off the accelerator.

Didn't it touch a Villa player before?

You need to understand offside. If he had put it straight in from that Stach challenge he may have been offside, but he wasn’t interfering so when the defender makes a goal ine clearance and it hits him and goes in he was onside.

Villa have made changes, there will be a reaction from them.

Thinking the same. Might be an opportunity for Gnonto in the second half, IMO.

Aaronson, Rodon and Tanaka are stand outs.
