What they Said
"Norwich thoroughly deserved to win.
โWe were outplayed, out-gunned and out-manoeuvred by a team who could go on to win the title."
Graham Taylor.
ANY talk of Aston Villa launching a genuine Championship challenge is decidedly premature.
A week when they hit the heights against Everton and then plunged to near the depths in the Littlewoods Cup against West Ham and Norwich illustrates their worrying inconsistency.
To win the title needs consistency even with the First Division looking exceedingly open and Graham Taylor knows that better than most people.
"Norwich thoroughly deserved to win , he said.
"We were outplayed, out-gunned and out-manoeuvred by a team who could go on to win the title." he added.
It's true they might have lost by an even bigger margin but for goalkeeper Nigel Spink's heroics between the posts.
Villa were never really allowed to get into their normal rhythm by a Norwich outfit determined to forget the infamous Highbury brawl the week before.
Too many Villa players looked off-colour and it may be that their international trio - David Platt, Paul McGrath and Kent Nielsen - had some of their thoughts centred on this week's games at Wembley,
It was a disappointing display by Villa.
The television exposure might have exaggerated their strengths and ignored their weaknesses which were made painfully obvious by Norwich's free-flowing play.
Gordon Cowans was virtually marked out of the game by Tim Sherwood with Townsend doing an equally effective job on McGrath.
It was the key area, and, with flying winger Dale Gordon giving left-back Andy Comyn a torrid time and Martin Allen darting in between Derek Mountfield and Nielsen, Villa always had their backs to the wall.
The goals Villa conceded were little short of a joke.
Mountfield was dreadfully unlucky with his spectacular own goal as he went to clear Mark Bowen's left-wing cross 30 seconds after the break.
Platt and Olney saw little of the ball, underlining that Villa have scored only five away goals in six games.
But Linighan's goal after 69 minutes was down to appalling defending with Gordon's left-wing corner going into the net off the centre-halfโs backside.
