I had a good moment in my first season with Villa.
Uefa cup quarter final I was drawn against Valencia. First game at home. My plan was to keep it tight at VP and not concede against the likes of Villa, Silva etc, possibly nick a goal to take a lead to the mestalla and defend like trojans there.
Didnt work! David Silva scored aft 20 odd minutes, so I had to move to plan B already. I went on the attack looking for goals but sadly the game ended 0-1.
I went into the second leg thinking I need to throw everything at them from the off and just get an away goal to have a glimmer of hope.
This time it worked! Gabby Agbonlahor raced onto a great through ball from Barry and made it 1-0 after 15 minutes. It stayed that way till half time. 5 minutes into the second half that man again, David Silva prodded the ball home. At this point i honestly thought it was over, I thouhght they would be too strong.
Gabby scored another 2 on the break completed his hat-trick and we won 3-1 (3-2) I went on to lose narrowly to Barca in the semis. But this was a massive boost for the team.
