On the bench!

Yes Bobby, we need to rotate, but Nasri, Silva and Dzeko on the bench?

Good to see NDJ back

thought you were talking about Rooney,Nani & little pea then!

Manure looked a totally different team with those three on.

still dodgy at the back

very.

Come back Vidic, NEXT WEEK.

Mario and Aj deserve a run out, and as Mancini said, some players played 2 games in quick succession during the international break, so are a bit tired.
Hopefully Mario and AJ will take their chances

Mario and AJ took their chances

Now were did that line up come from!!!!



It definately is a squad, one that plays for each other and seems to be one that recognises the need for rotation..... a little bit chuffed.

Good to see us win well without the playmakers, looking good for when we have injuries and suspensions

We might have been shouting a different tune if it was harder but that was just what we needed.

A big win and all the big boys rested for the must win on Tuesday.

I think Bobby Manc got it spot on, history tells us Villa do not travel and we have to start rotating if we are to compete on all fronts.

Really pleased to see Milner have a good'un in the middle, underlining it by making (with sublime cros-field ball to AJ) and then finishing on the follow-up.

When Kompany's went in on 52mins, I joked to my dad on text 'we want 10', not that our overall performance deserved it to that point, but suddenly Villa looked there for the taking.

Minute later a bloke walked past me in the pub with a Huddersfield T-shirt on (I'm in London these days) - had one of those little shivery moments (bit like when McNab scored the opener - that alone was omen enough that something special was going on!)
