Great result, still work in progress, sloppy passing at the back at times, we should have scored more the chances we had. I don't think Olsen inspires our defenders and Torres was too easily turned for the Burnley goal, he looks prone for mistakes but i'm sure Emery will get him to where he wants. Far, Far more positives than negatives. Emery wasn't happy at tines which is good and players will be aware of his high standards. Next Sunday will be a true reality check.

I don't think Olsen put a foot wrong all game, we had a wobbly moment when he exchanged passes with Kamara but beyond that he really didn't do anything wrong - Thought we are excellent again today, didn't really have to go beyond third gear for large parts of the game. Big test next weekend against Liverpool, that'll be the real litmus test IMO, this Villa side are are now winning the games they should win (for the most part), it's taking points against the elite teams that will determine where we finish this season. I'd love an attacker in between now and Friday, think we are short up top, the drop off between Watkins and Duran is stark and that's a massive worry for me.
