I guess a point was better than nothing in the end but pre-match I have to say I had us down as taking all three from this one!
Perhaps that`ll teach me not to count my chickens.
In the obligatory post match interview, Mark Hughes gave an insight into his views on the action we`d all witnessed by remarking,
‘In the first-half I thought we edged the better chances.”
‘I was disappointed to concede just before half-time and in the second-half, Villa were able to get people behind the ball and play on the counter and that was always a worry for us.”
‘But we kept on going and doing the right things. We didn’t ask enough questions in the second-half, in terms of balls into the box, but the one ball we did produce brought us the goal and we are thankful for that.”
‘At that late stage you are thinking the game is lost and it has gone beyond you. We got something out of the game so we are pleased. We have got to be pleased with the point.’
Indeed we have as we now turn our thoughts to a local derby with Chelsea in midweek, it should be a tasty affair!
