Good to see Davis and Hughes play so well tonight against England. For England/Villa fans like myself it took the edge off the defeat.
Hughes was easily the best player on the pitch in terms of deciding the outcome, he marshalled the defence superbly. Owen and England generally only had a couple of sights of goal all game. Then Davis, who chased and closed down everything in midfield, dinked a ball over the static defence for Healy to score.
Hopefully we`ll still get the two wins we need angainst Austria and Poland but knowing England we`ll have to do it the hard way......through the play-offs.:(
