We haven't done our jobs defensively. That has been our strength because in the games that we've lost we have lost by the odd goal.
"Three of the four that we conceded today were so poor defensively and the mistakes were not acceptable at this level.
Brad Friedel made some decent saves, had any of them gone in, who knows how things might have gone?
"I think 4-0 was harsh, however well Villa played."
Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neil (from BBC Website)
It was a great performance and a result I had not expected.
"With us having played on Thursday night, it was a concern, but there were some terrific performances all told.
"I was worries about today's game so for us to win today in the manner that we did was great.
"We have competition for places which is something that two years ago at Villa we didn't have so that's encouraging."
