Onwards! UTV! Home draw next round please #AVFC

Could this be.. a comfortable last 10mins…! I remember this feeling! #AVFC

Shame, game hinged on a few key decisions that went against us. Looked tired last 20mins despite changes. Need to move on and reset for big game Friday #AVFC

Why is CP no 5 not offside in first cross before their goal? Clearly interferes with play before ball is recycled for 2nd cross #AVFC

Villa have conceded from their opponent's first shot on target in 17 fixtures this season, as well as from the rebound in three games when the first attempt was saved. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 #AVFC

That line up looks to me like a keep it stable for an hour then unleash the bench kind of line up! #AVFC

Gritty win for Villa showing lots of character. Grinding out results and have more to deliver. When we click we can beat anyone. Players coming back into fitness and momentum building just at the right time, UTV! #AVFC

So refreshing to see 4 or 5 potential game changing options on the bench. And still players to return to squad. A real bonus for a tactician like UE #AVFC

That give and go from Ollie for the goal, busted a gut to get into the box and on the end of that then composure to place the header into the corner, great stuff #AVFC

High intensity physical first half there, Villa giving everything to get back into this match then go ahead. Emery to change things up early given fatigue/upcoming fixtures? #AVFC

So far Liverpools best tactic would be to kick it out and give is more goal kicks! #AVFC

Next 14d are massive for our season. CL so far has us primed for mid week fixtures already so we treat upcoming fixture congestion as the norm following a few quieter weeks. We now have the squad to rotate and remain competitive. Time to step up UTV #AVFC

Home draw next round please! #AVFC

@avfcstatto.bsky.social open game.. time for the Marcuses? #AVFC

4 matches in a row with 1st half injuries! Training/warm up issue or just bad luck? Hopefully not stifling momentum this time. Kamara becomes our ‘experienced’ CB. Clean sheet please boys #AVFC

Ramsey starting with a point to prove! Exactly how top pros should react when under pressure for places UTV #AVFC

Obviously great we have a weeks rest between fixtures for once but anyone else feeling a bit bereft with no mid week fixture? Positive sign of progress I suppose that it feels like 2 games a week is the norm now! Here’s betting Unai is taking a deep dive into the spurs prep #AVFC

Feels like Villa have spent big in the window with all the new names but overall we have made a healthy saving while still strengthening squad. Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing what magic Unai can muster second half of season #AVFC

Rashford could work. Point to prove, champions league experience. Fits our style of play with pace off the wing. Emery can man-manage back into some form. Thinking Sancho at Dortmund situation. Would like some sort of option to buy incase he does find form #AVFC

14% - 14% of Aston Villa's total passes in the UEFA Champions League this season have been line-breaking passes; the highest percentage of any team during the league phase. Incisive.

Duran going is the right decision. Re-invest into strengthening the starting XI and quietens the media circus around main striker which is distracting to the squad. Watkins will gain confidence knowing he’s the main man. Proven goals and assists, last season he did plenty of that from 60min+ #AVFC

Never a doubt 👀 Great achievement making top 8. Hopefully this grows confidence and momentum (and a much needed 2 game rest) going into the business end of the season! UTV! #AVFC

#AVFC

Enjoying the mid season / last day of the season vibes with the last round of the the new CL format. How far have we come in 3 years! Villa need to shut out the noise and win the game. Strong home performance is due! 🤞 #AVFC

Frustrating night but would have taken being in/around top 8 in CL with one to play at start of season. Strong words from the boss hopefully lead to a bounce for an important match this weekend. UTV #AVFC

Claiming a contribution to the Newcastle result (captained Isak in FPL) worth it! #AVFC

How are we feeling about today Villains? Less expectation today may help us turn up and play as we know we can against the bigger teams. Fancy Ollie to cause problems as usual against them (if he starts..!) #AVFC

Aston Villa - Scourge of the new manager bounce! #AVFC

Ramsey and little Emi making all the difference giving us bit of pace #AVFC

VAR audio/transcript from Duran red card is concerning. Ref appears to be swayed by player simulation and players crowding around the ref. This may encourage players to do the same in the future to influence decisions. PGMOL actively panned to crack down on this at the start of the season #AVFC

Well done Leon Bailey, bet that felt good! #AVFC

Watkins time to shine UTV #avfc

Feels like villa have found their mojo! Really good so far #AVFC

Miles off that! #AVFC

Get in! Amazing how a world class save like that inspires a goal at the other end! #AVFC
