On my way back

And that should have been a 6-0 win.
The best I expected from us today was a draw if we were lucky. With that mindset I wanted to see how good James Chester would we after watching him in the Euros 2016 where for me he became that star player out of nowhere.
So when I saw him having a nightmare against Zohore and then seeing their keeper playing a blinder I struggled to work it all out. It is hard to believe that after the first 5 minutes I thought the best I was hoping for was going to be a bridge too far. Villa looked all the favourites for the title. What I did not account for was that we were not in first gear but neutral in those first 5 minutes. As soon as we stepped up to 1st gear we overtook the Villa and left them standing as we hit top gear with 3 goals to the good.
Last week I said our odds will come down soon. I think now they will come tumbling down.
