MATCH QUOTES

Villa.gif
2509-2.png
"We have won our last two 1-0 and four more 1-0โ€™s would suit me. โ€œOur strength is our ability to defend. "Basically we are a solid side, hard to break down. We take a goal here and a goal there. โ€œIt would be silly to expect my team to swarm over the opposition. โ€œThey are not a team built that way - they are not really able to sustain their attacks, even though in mid-season there was a spell when we did play with more confidence. โ€œThe side has developed from the three central defenders. They have prevented up going a goal down or the other side getting the equaliser. โ€œMuch as the purists might like something better, we live in a real world and I am satisfied. โ€œThe results suit me and the Villa fans.โ€ Graham Taylor.

GORDON COWANS clawed Liverpool's title advantage back to only a point with his third goal of the season at Villa Park. With only four games left, Graham Taylor's men remain undaunted in pursuit of the unlikely, still needing another Anfield slip like today's against Forest to realise their championship dream. They held on like grim death to their precious lead for the last half-an-hour against a Chelsea side determined to salvage their 11-match unbeaten run. In the end, the Villa hero was again their new ยฃ1.5m striker, Tony Cascarino who set Cowans up.
