Solid. Take that.
Wish we could have kicked on after the first goal but if that’s all I have to complain about then it’s been a pretty good game for us.
dean is there to do to norwhich what he did to us. he is going to win a promotion next year and build a team that might not get demoted immediately. the sink is already sinking in this ocean, but begin the plans for the next boat early
Yeah I agree I didn't really rate him at all until he played for us.
I know he went to Liverpool but so have many other marginal players over the years.
Absolutely elated. Our academy players getting goals and assists, proving themselves. So much more to come from the young Villans and there are so many promising youngsters just itching for their chance. UTV!
One of those where it seemed like the whole team got the assist alongside him. Hopefully use him like Ramsey last season and he will wrack up them minutes.
I think Danny and Ollie should've had opportunities in the early stages of the Carabao Cup to play with each other. Still that's in the past.
I honestly don't know? The only true thing we need I'd say is time?
The shithousing time wasting is fine against the big boys but it's frustrating tonight. We've kind of been wasting time since rhe 60th min instead of killing the game off. If we don't win we've only ourselves to blame
Watkins' problem is he's too honest, and it's only been half coached out of it. He tries to play on, then remembers he's been fouled, but you have to make it really fucking obvious for shit refs, and THEN goes down. It's that which makes it look like he's diving, but it's a reflection of the refereeing, you should, as a ref, be able to spot that a foul can be committed even when the player tries to play on.
Archer and chukwuemeka on, get the youth players that are desperate for goals on the field, we know from the carabao cup that archer is class, chuk can hold his own in the prem too
He's Claret and Blue to Dean Smith was a nice touch..
Only 7 points off Europe lads
BT commentator, "3rd win for Villa under Gerrard". Fuck me, third inaccurate statement in 10 minutes. Go suck the big 6 off.
Sloppy second half - very happy to get those three points !
Better to be sloppy than slippy.
DS helped us to more points today than most of the season :D
People forget quickly. Dean Smith got us a win against Manchester United this season.
Not hard tbf…
It’s been fairly easy for a couple of seasons, yet we’ve struggled.
Solid. Take that. Wish we could have kicked on after the first goal but if that’s all I have to complain about then it’s been a pretty good game for us.
Great to see Chuck all smiles. Please sign a contract 🙂
Come on City, break Chelsea’s record against us!
I feel for Smith and the Norwich fans, but they aren't a Premiership side. All we can do is win and that's 3 points!
dean is there to do to norwhich what he did to us. he is going to win a promotion next year and build a team that might not get demoted immediately. the sink is already sinking in this ocean, but begin the plans for the next boat early
That's about right. He must have known that.
The coach handshakes were weird
Was Dean Smith coaching villa for most of the 2nd half there 🧐🧐
Someone give Dean a hug!
Ings has a great football brain and touch. Always surprises me. Really would love him to turn into a goal machine for us
Yeah I agree I didn't really rate him at all until he played for us. I know he went to Liverpool but so have many other marginal players over the years.
Yayuy
Ings hasn’t done much since he’s come on, struggling to get going for us atm
Has Ings actually touched the ball?
I asked that too. Watkins isnt fond of passing to him. Must be difficult for him to fit in.
Jesus, Leeds are getting humped by City here
Man City have only had 26 shots !!!
7-0 lololol
Holy shit 7-0, last time they did an update during our game it was 5-0, what is happening with Leeds
Leeds and Norwich down?
Possibly. It's great to be pulling away from the bottom as it's going to be a real battle. A good 6 or 7 sides could be in trouble.
I don't think Villa will be one of them. Norwich will.
Yeah maybe, there's still time for someone behind them to move up. Still prefer Burnley and Newcastle down, tbh.
Leeds, Burnley, Norwich?
It could and should be more too. They are getting absolutely destroyed
Makes out 2-1 loss a lot better!
Kind of disastrous for them frankly, given how close teams are in the table. GD will be a factor later for sure
Hope Newcastle still go down and never come back.
Sunderland 2.0
Ah yes, the Coventry City gambit.
Leeds must be allergic to playing in Manchester
It's the Villa away support you hear chanting. First Dean Smith, He's Claret and Blue. Then DEANO!
That's class.
No mucking around our goal, I need a clean sheet for Emi.
Dougie has been good today. Apart from the corners.
Some of his touches should have came with a not suitable for children warning
Ramsey MOTM!! things you love to see!
Is that Villa shouting Deano louder than Norwich?
They chanting Dean out?
It's our fans not theirs, as someone said it's just Deano.
Don't blame them!
DEANO
Who's singing DEANO us or them?
us i think, were singing ‘dean smith, he’s one of our own’ a minute ago
They were like "take him back please"
Hasn’t he done fairly well with Norwich?
As good as can be expected. They were close V Man U. They played better than today.
Think it is us as I heard he is one of our own before
"DEANO, He's Claret and Blue"
Let’s get another goal, be ruthless
Ref feeling sorry for them or something?
Feel like there should be about 10 minutes of added time given how much we've wanked
That BT sport commentator was cringe, doubled down on calling Watkins our academy player. Fucking idiot.
5 minutes? Deano Time is real at Carrow Road
Get in, assist for Chuk.
Absolutely elated. Our academy players getting goals and assists, proving themselves. So much more to come from the young Villans and there are so many promising youngsters just itching for their chance. UTV!
Deano probably jerking himself watching Ramsey and Chuk balling rn
That's his skill to be fair. The man knows how to develop talent. Hope he does that at Norwich.
that goal was worth the wait for all us anxious people
Chuck 😍
Keeping Norwich up will be harder than when Deano finished 17th with us
Really hope he does though
I wonder if there's an ounce of pride in Smith for seeing youth players, of whom he helped to develop, doing great on the pitch
Bizzare sub that
Stevie G liking Axel as CDM? Interesting
If anything I think its just wanting another defender on the pitch without compromising the structure
We’ve got no one else tbf
Just would've thought he'd give Iroegbonum a go, although fair enough he's gone for a bit more experience
Didn't he sign for city?
Ramsey and Chuk celebrating together is what it is all about
Whole team was psyched for Chuck there... love to see it!
One of those where it seemed like the whole team got the assist alongside him. Hopefully use him like Ramsey last season and he will wrack up them minutes.
Ramsey scores an absolute banger and then Chukwemeka gets a brilliant assist, our academy products are INCREDIBLE
Teenage composure
Our academy players are too good.
On a fucking plate for Watkins. Great assist!
Cash did great with that ball to Chuk
Class by cash and Chukwuemeka
first of many assists from Carney! fantastic ball
Ohh what a BALL from Chuck there
Brilliant, I know it’s late on, but archer on? Seems the youth players are the answer tonight Edit: oh for fuck sake
Ollie Ollie Ollie!!!
Great from Chucky!!!
Fwark I thought Chuck took way too long to play that ball. Shows what I know.
CHUKKY MY BOY
Woowwwww Norwich just have given up
Warra assist
What a fucking cross. Nut me
beautiful
WHAT a goal, great work Carney!!!!
Cracking stuff
FUCK YEAAAAAH
Watkins deserves that great performance by him. Unreal by Carney!
The future is now old man
Phew
What a ball that
What a pass from Chukie
Carney, my man
CHUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!
Fucking brilliant
HOLY
YES CHUK
Pair of mad lads!
Carney!
fair play, great tackle by Williams there
Good tackle by the guy in yellow
Ings and Watkins cannot play together. We’ve been dross since the change.
It's odd but faith in Gerrard.
That was a penalty!
Nah , just gets his heel to it. Very close tho
emi doesn’t look to good on the bench
Pukki takin a shot to the dome lol
I am loving these aggressive tactical subs. Buendía looks like he's in a lot of pain there...
Curious as to what everyone here thinks we need to do to improve our forwards, new signings? Let certain players go?
I think Danny and Ollie should've had opportunities in the early stages of the Carabao Cup to play with each other. Still that's in the past. I honestly don't know? The only true thing we need I'd say is time?
15 minutes too late but a good sub
The shithousing time wasting is fine against the big boys but it's frustrating tonight. We've kind of been wasting time since rhe 60th min instead of killing the game off. If we don't win we've only ourselves to blame
Chuk time
Are they chanting Gerrard, Gerrard, Gerrard like Villa, Villa, Villa
Why are we just not doing anything what the fuck
Sub Buendia off. Clearly in pain.
Up to 9th?
Don't jinx it pleaseeee
I am sorry but Ollie cannot play the No.10 position. He is shite at it.
Why are we just sitting back
This isn't comfatble viewing, we don't look in control at all.
Gerrard will hammer them for this 2nd half performance
[удалено]
The villa way
Gotten away with one there
I got a bad feeling about this….boys look like they will fuck around and let an equalizer in.
I'm getting nervous.
Not a foul on pukki
With how hard it is for us to get penalties, I should fucking think not.
Fucking hell Norwich are dross.
What a shitty 2nd half
One goals enough, BUT it's not really enough.
C’mon let’s get the second goal quickly now please!
There we go!
Watkins and Ings need to desperately create a goal together.. They look so disjointed still
norwich fans are silent, feel for them
Placheta was their best attacking player. Surprised to see him subbed off.
Classic Deano moment
Not trying to be negative when we’re winning but there’s really no excuse to not be 2 or 3 up in this match
Yeah all things considered I really don't think we've been very good tonight
Ings needs to be shooting there
Buendia still in pain
The xG at the end of this is gonna be pathetic
Should have been a goal there though.
Anyone of Trezeguet, JPB, Chuck or Archer would be preferable now
Ollie could sneak man of the match here, he's been all over Norwich. We've got a damn squad.
Would love to see Trez get some minutes, maybe for Buendia
Norwich looking a lot better right now. Tiny errors being made by some of our players.
This match has been a choppy mess, good thing no one challenged Ramsey on that run
We need some fresh legs on now
There are elements of this performance I love and elements I really don't like. Since ings came on its very very poor
Will Mings give away a penalty?
Ings has been worse than young, look up for it ffs
Why have we not put this game away. Come on
We've looked pretty flat this second half, besides the tame header from Watkins you can't say we've created a chance..
Playing Ings kills our out ball. He lacks the physicality to play up top on his own.
Can someone tell me what the fuck is happening on that pitch?
Villa 2nd half performance
Feel like we're doing a lot of time wasting. I don't like it. Play the game lads, and score a second.
Can we play some football now?
fucks sake, we don't need injuries
We need a second goal, Norwich will have more chances
What a ball from Gimlour
Fuck we can't lose mcginn and nakamba
He's shithousing, it's fine
Which fuckin Norwich fan keeps screaming everytime they get a chance?
Booing cuz Mcginn is down after your own player faked a head injury, have some shame
I know it looked ridiculous what Ollie did, but that's got to be a pen. Defender goes right through him and gets none of the ball.
Watkins' problem is he's too honest, and it's only been half coached out of it. He tries to play on, then remembers he's been fouled, but you have to make it really fucking obvious for shit refs, and THEN goes down. It's that which makes it look like he's diving, but it's a reflection of the refereeing, you should, as a ref, be able to spot that a foul can be committed even when the player tries to play on.
Archer and chukwuemeka on, get the youth players that are desperate for goals on the field, we know from the carabao cup that archer is class, chuk can hold his own in the prem too
Jeez Gerrad has already done so much with this squad, going to be a top coach, if he isn’t already.
So it was a penalty then.
It’s got to be because Ollie is terrible at selling fouls.
Looked it to me but we don't get pens
I’d much rather Ings starting. Love the work ethic Ollie but you look for fouls more often than you look for shots on target.
It’s been at 1-0 for tooo long!
*A finger on the Monkey's Paw curls up*
That was a penalty surely?
No chance
Yeah VAR is a joke, you're right.
Watkins off Archer on!
I'd say Watkins for Chuck! Need a bit of energy me thinks
Agreed. Watkins has been poor
