Great 3 points. Didn't play that well against an awkward team and scrapped it out. Grealish is brilliant, although he goes down too easily. The General was my MOTM.
We lacked creativity and cutting edge but still a win is a win. Villa gave us hard time. Antonio was rusty and didn't get much service. Hopefully, we will play better in the next game.
It also was quite difficult to resort to a back four for the first time in 3 months, midway through the game. The players deserve credit for that & that win will mean a lot to those boys tonight.
I rarely moan about refs but this bloke? Awful just awful, falling for Grealish’s antics every time. Grealish is a wonderful player and I know he gets a lot of “ attention “ from opponents but he was a real con artist tonight. Poor performance overall but hey 3 points.

I haven't disliked a team we've played against more than Villa in a long time.
I can't talk about the ref, Grealish or Terry without getting heavily modded.
Bit of a let off that
Thought Villa were the better team, but we took our chances and they didn't
Big that we got 3 points after not playing well

It’s like watching a Mourinho side...
I know it's the result that matters, but we really need to improve up front.
Poor performance overall but hey 3 points.
We had it last year with Rice against Sheff United & no doubt one will go against us in the coming weeks.
