Ratings & Reactions: UCL3: Villa v Bologna

[switters]

Excellent stuff. Could pick some small faults but why bother when it's about a positive as it can get. 3 wins from 3, 0 conceded. Already pretty certain of at least playoffs and got to have a realistic chance of skipping straight through to last 16

Rogers MOTM, but lots of v fine performances, Maatsen, Pau, McGinn, Tielemans.

So when does the CL get difficult? 

Hopefully after we buy the 4 or 5 players needed to make that huge step up

Great performance. Maatsen MOTM for me but Rogers also excellent.

[andym]

We were absolutely slicing through them at times, the speed we moved the ball from back to front was brilliant.

Only complaint is the final ball or shot was often poor, we should really have scored a couple more.

Carlos, 4%. That pass alone, which led to the Duran goal was worthy of motm imo. Some really sexy football at times. Let's just see the same intensity level is there on Saturday.

Incredible, just incredible.

Roger’s for 8 million is a joke: Tielemans for free .

Maatsen was so good tonight: he might not suit every game but when we are on the front foot him and Rogers is terrifying.

Literal pinch yourself moments.

Champions League?  Completed it 

[BleedClaretAndBlue]

Beautiful. Controlled, professional performance from Champions League Aston Villa. 
 
Top of the league. Job well done

[TheAuthority]

There was a passage in the first half of just one touch passes which was absolutely sublime.

[Davkaus]

There's a lot of talk about match fatigue these days, so we should probably just stop the competition at this point

[The_Steve]

We are only the third side to win their opening three games in the Champions League without conceding after Malaga in 2012-13 and Leicester City in 2016-17.

[PaulC]

Really really good. Rogers fantastic. Maatsen too. 

[CarryOnVilla]

Apparently with 9 points, we now have 65% chance of making the play offs at least  

[rodders0223]

That's us through. Makes the penny pinching of fans even the more galling.

[Bizzzle]

We’re making this champions league stuff look easy!

Bologna manager has the most football manager regen name ever, Vincenzo Italiano.  Thought the announcer was trolling us when he said it.

No wonder the bloke has a good sense of humour

[NorthEastVillan]

Pretty much guarenteed a play off spot but we all know Unai won't even let the players think about that. Still 5 games to go. Who would bet against 5 wins? 

[turnbull]

Boring.
