Feel Watkins has to start scoring again soon. Not sure how long Villa can get away with having a striker who isn't putting the ball in the net. #avfc

If we are to muster the resolve for a mid or late season push for a European place, this is item one to be remedied. A full quarter of the season gone and only the relegation fodder are more toothless in attack than we are.

My problem with Villa this season is neatly summarised by the past few weeks: what the hell *is* this Villa team? Are we the Spurs away Villa? The dreadful Go Ahead Eagles Villa? The resolute Man City Villa? Or the poor mentality 2nd half Liverpool capitulation Villa? Wildly inconsistent. #avfc

Just don’t give these bastards a clean sheet… please. At least one goal to celebrate, that’s all. Please Villa.

All of the oxygen left the room after that one. Utterly deflated. 😕

What a nightmare of an error… I was feeling great about going into the break on level terms 😞

Kind of at a loss. A big part of me was hoping for an emphatic, dominant display… the rampant victory that has eluded us thus far.

Instead, we are left embarrassed. A deserved, shameful loss that puts on display every reason that the worry for this season should remain alive and well.

Dreadful.

On repeat in my head and on my phone. What a lovely sequence.

LITTLE EMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII OH MY

Needed that!

Great win! 💜 I know injury news is hard to come by at this side of the club, but do we know what’s going on with Gabi or Hijikata? I don’t believe they’ve even made a bench yet

John McGinn has now scored three goals in three games for the first time in his career.

Classy from our captain 📈

#AVFC

Ruthless from Villa! Love seeing regular McGinn goals

Little Emi proving everyone wrong I just can’t get enough of this guy! 💜💙

Emi Buendia: "Of course, it is really amazing. First Premier League goal in years, with the injury and a few years I had a few low moments. I worked hard to be back here again so I am really happy."

FT: #AVFC 3-1 Fulham

Villa register their first league win of the season. An improvement - more insertion and thrust in attack. Crucially, they addressed issues in the 2nd half, which hasn't been the case. Two quick goals helped, but they increasingly nullified Fulham's threat

Emiliano Buendía produced an assist and a goal within six minutes of coming on against Fulham.

It is the fastest (5 mins, 43 secs) any half-time substitute has produced at least one assist and one goal in a Premier League game by at least nine minutes.

#AVLFUL

As a card carrying Buendia apologist, I’m buzzing over here 😂 even I was skeptical of taking Elliot off

Watkins gets his first goal of the season. A long ball from Digne is latched onto Watkins, who dinks Leno.

Fulham's centre-backs are so far apart and the forward has a simple run between them, but the finish is excellent. How #AVFC and Watkins needed that.

🤢

A true captain’s statement. But I would be utterly shocked to see Ollie take another penalty for Aston Villa unless we find ourselves level after extra time somewhere down the line. It’s simply not part of his game.

Considering what we’ve been through thus far, I’ll take that ugly 1-0 please and thank you

oh, Ollie… 😔😔😔

You love to see it 💜💙

Whoa 😳

…The feelings evoked by Aston Villa so far this season are familiar and quite unwelcome.

Burn the away kits. 😂 third is away now
