He’s been absolutely superb. Can see why he’s in the German team. Brilliant signing and a bargain price. Full credit to Orta. I’m looking forward to seeing Llorente too

yep Koch has been fantastic, unbelievable for the price. looks a 50 million plus player already wouldn't look out of place in any of the very top teams.

watched Llorente for spain against Portugal the other week. looked very good, won't be long before he works his way into the side imo, once he gets fit of course.

Shows what I know.
Bamford should have scored 2 in the first half then goes on to score 3 in the second half.
Costa played well and Ayling was superb at the back as was Shackleton when he came on and Harrison.
Hernandez missed a sitter.
It could easily have been 6 tonight.
Messlier again 2 cracking saves.
I think we had something like 30 attempts away from home.
Well done all round performance tonight.

Very pleasing win for me. 10 points from 6 is a good return. More than a quarter of the way to safety. If we keep this up, we should be comfortably mid-table

what a win and with a third of the team out. brilliant. could have been 6 or 7.

We can challenge for a european place if we can maintain the current form. We've already played man ciy, liverpool, and wolves. All top 6 teams.

The most pleasing thing for me was that we didn`t miss Phillips at all.
Big decision to take Pascal off after 20 minutes and bring Shackleton on but boy did it pay off.

Absolutely incredible last night. Villa did have some good chances though to be fair but what a performance. Played them off the park. Jaw dropping from a newly promoted team. Ayling was unreal at CB and Shack was fabulous. What a coach Bielsa is..

Ayling for England on this form and he can play anywhere in the back 4.
Him and Coady at the back wouldn`t look too shabby.

Agree 100%. He’s playing fantastic. Shame for him that there’s a load of top class RBs to chose from for Southgate. Alexander Arnold, James, Trippier, Lamptey, Wan Bissaka.. some superb talent there. Great for England though. I suppose he’s a chance at Centre back..

Tough game tonight. Could be similar to Wolves game. They will sit and hit on the counter with pace. Another good test. Personally be pleased with a point.
