Another very important aspect of yesterday's game, for me, was that we often looked like we had an extra player compared to Villa. Of course, they were probably more interested in their upcoming game with Forest while we were fighting for our lives, but we often had two or three players pressing for the ball and when they won the ball back, they had options around them to get out of the opposition's press. It's a major improvement in terms of mobility from Frank's team.
Either that or the yellow shirts made us more visible.
