Bollocks to that, Bazza. City were the only team to fear.

At least we can gaurantee a full strength side will be played. We can beat Liverpool.

Agree, but think Sturridge will be back by then so it may be close. At least until 2nd half.

we will beat Liverpool. Sturridge will make a comeback and get injured again before the tie, as will benteke.

Job done in the end after a dire first half.

I’m always pleased when Yoshi does well. Okay, he’s not the greatest player to ever wear the shirt, but I really like the bloke, especially his let’s-knuckle-down-and-get-on-with-it attitude.

I kept a very close eye on JWP tonight and I thought that his shoulders went down on a couple of occasions after he messed up. I hope I’m wrong, but it appeared to me that he might be having some self-confidence issues; perhaps he’s picking up on the negativity aimed his way by some supporters? If ever a player needs a goal or to put in a motm performance JWP does; however, imo, on tonight’s showing, he’s some way from warranting a place in the starting line-up, so I think his opportunities will be limited.

I went to the game as usual…couldn’t resist the concessionary rate. As it turned out the first half was worth about a quid and the second six quid so overall I’d say it was value for money. Was willing Gaston to have a good game but if I’m honest he looked lightweight and ring-rusty and as we all know there’s nothing worse than a…etc etc.

Tadic is another class…constant threat from the moment he came on…great set-up for Pele’s clinical finish.

Watched the highlights on Ch 5 later on…scant fare and the pundits (?) didn’t utter the word “Southampton” once…not a word…not one single syllable. Who were Villa playing??? can’t remember, it’ll come to me in a minute. :lou_facepalm_2:

Looked like Pelle was on side and free in first half… (2:20)

So on side, but I can see why the linesman would give it offside as it was a close call…

Class goal from Yoshi esp with his left boot too

Superb setup from Tadic for Pelle’s goal and well taken too, great technique.

Certainly not a pen either, VV-D clearly got the ball

Was Lou Lou commenting on the games earlier or transcribing her night’s activities??

Called it at the time. You could see that he’d curved his run beautifully and fully deserved the attempt on goal. Lino down that side gave a few poor decisions.

Van Dijk’s challenge for the penalty was directly in front of me and I thought it was a mite clumsy but fair. Think Ayew’s theatrics convinced the ref.

Also thought that Yoshida may have scuffed his shot and the more I see it the more I’m convinced of this! Take nothing away from it, mind - magnificent piece of play.
