Only watch bits of the U21s but learnt not to get too excited about players at that level… too many false dawns. Didn’t impress me much last season but this season he has really stepped up. Keeps the ball really well and covers a lot of ground too. One to keep an eye on for sure

Liverpool error aside he has been unreal since losing the vice captaincy. So many big saves

Watched him play at RB against Chelsea in 2024 and he looked way off PL standard. Grown a lot since then. This season he seems so much faster, stronger and composed. Never worried when he comes on now

The unrest around Martinez and selling Ramsey had a big impact. The squad now looks together again…. Let’s just hope that Martinez isn’t looking to leave in January

Buen día Mr Arteta #avfc

…Bogarde is another. I really didn’t get what he offered last year but now he is coming on for Bouba or Onana and we don’t look weaker. He could be some player if he keeps developing

I was questioning the signings of Malen, Onana and Maatsen at the start of the season but all have kicked on. Pau has been brilliant, so much stronger this season…

Needs to win a trophy so we can build a statue. They way he moulds teams and improves players is unbelievable

Has been excellent this season. Seems to be reading the game much better and is getting more time on the ball. Fair play to him, I have been asking for a new RB for years. Hope it continues

OMFG! EMI YOU BEAUTY! UTFV! #avfc

What a win that is! Every man stepped up in the 2nd half. Some team. Some manager. UTFV! #avfc

Wow. Get in there Onana! UTFV! #avfc

Just back from the game. Not the greatest but a great 3 points. SJM and Martinez excellent UTV! #avfc

Great response. Get in! #avfc

We are playing to a different set of rules here #avfc

Pitch looks awful but we are miles off atm. No composure at all #avfc

Just back from the game. Enjoyed that. Both Emi’s were excellent. Nothing falling for Ollie atm (unlike Malen) but he put in a good shift today. Goals will come UTV! #avfc

We only scored because it wasn’t really a pen

Doesn’t feel like it

Tielemans ability for finding attackers in space has been a huge miss. A pacey player attacking the box from wide areas would also help

Self inflicted and poor tonight but would’ve taken 6 points from Spurs, City and Liverpool 2 weeks ago. Onto the next one.UTV! #avfc

The result of this game was decided by Martinez but the ref has really helped the home side tonight

Liverpool press is excellent but we have been so sloppy with our passing tonight…mostly when not under pressure. A Villa goal makes this interesting though #avfc

Felt like they were there for the taking but that gift of a goal will settle their nerves. Need an early response now to get the crowd nervous again #avfc

WTAF! That is terrible from Martinez

Any idea what is wrong with Garcia?

What a win. What a team performance. UTFV! Onana’s best performance in a villa shirt. immense.

Really good half that. Every player putting in a shift. Could really do with an Ollie goal today. Add a confident striker to this team and we would be very dangerous #avfc

What a hit! Get in Cashy! #avfc

We should just kick them out for an opposition throw by the corner flag #avfc
