I honestly don’t get the negativity. It was 100% a deserved win. Plenty to work on in terms of turning the screw at the right moment and being more strong in possession. But can’t believe I opened Bluesky and first thing I saw was ‘scrappy’ ‘undeserved’.

Not unhappy with that. Playin a Villa team who are really up for it and we are growing into the game. Not all teams will roll over like last 2, so we have to learn to manage this kind of game. Must be careful not to lose all 3 midfielders too high up the pitch. And be clinical in 2nd half. #nufc

I dunno what it is this season, but far too many ‘off days’ where just everyone is off the pace and half a yard too slow. It’s not an over-reaction. And I know we can do so much better but why is this happening particular this season. Not one or two calamities. They are all not on it. #nufc

Defensive mistake definitely cost us. Bournemouth playing well but some slips in defence. Hopefully we will get Gordon and isak more into it in the second half. There are more goals in it. #nufc

Love how Bruno leads the young players. Arm round shoulders, patting them on the back. He is an absolute priceless part of #nufc so much more than just what gives us on the pitch.

I hope that the Barnes decision was cause he felt a knock. I’m happy to see Gordon but could be a confidence destroyer if it’s tactical. #nufc

Well. Just got back to Taiwan after one of the best festive periods for #nufc I could have imagined. Hope Botman is ok, but honestly the confidence and spirit in the team is insane. Well done to Howe and his team for getting the most out of the Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton partnership.

That was a great first half. Tonali is pure class! Looks like they finally all are totally on the same page. Brilliant linking play. Credit to the work done on the training pitch #nufc

A good performance by #nufc dictating play, controlling midfield… feels like a few other times where we have expected it to lead to us kicking on, but it hasn’t. What needs to happen to build on this? Player selection? tactics? Mentality? Thoughts …?

There is no way that result should’ve happened. Brentford didn’t do anything special. There was nothing threatening from them unless we just gifted them chances. #nufc

We look decent going forward and winning midfield battle so we should have enough to win. But we do have mistakes in us defensively. And don’t get tight on their attackers so we are vulnerable to pass and go. Gordon could be a great addition on 65 mins. #nufc

I know I’m generally blindly optimistic but I fancy a win today. We have to win the midfield battle. Feel that Barnes will have to do a Murphy and play multiple roles. Gordon, Wilson & Sandro off the bench could be massive!!! #nufc get into them!

This isn’t just us in this situation. The whole league is unpredictable because the flavoured setup for most teams is all about turning the ball over and countering. It’ll not be long before two teams kick off and belt it out to concede their own corner so they can counter and break !! #nufc #epl

We are just a bit too easy to play against. Teams are wised up and stopping the wide runs. So it’s all playing to feet which is easy to defend against #nufc

#nufc first half:
* struggling to find threaten in final third. Feel like it’s because in the build up we’re too static.
* generally look better in position but always have a mistake in us and opposition know it.
* need to unlock Tonali’s vast potential. Howe should keep him on (even over Bruno)

I wouldn’t be surprised if Howe starts Bruno and Tonali today. Just gotta be careful of leaving big gaps. Tonali will have to get used to doing the majority of the running.

Willock really has to be in the England conversation now. I know there is lots of talent in midfield but he offers something different #nufc
