Every good result, however rare, we've gone overboard like that. And it was immediately followed by crap performances as you said. They'll never learn.

Leicester game is enormous. We HAVE to win it.
Baines' left foot

Typically Twitter is full of 'blues' saying he's only had one good game and that he's been absolute crap prior, laughing at any fans who dare to feel a little positivity.

People have judged him too harshly because he wasn’t immediately prime Leighton Baines.
I don’t think he’ll ever be that player. Most people saw when he joined that his primary game is around a solid defence and then he can pick some decent passes and cut backs when going forward. He’s not going to be playing one twos and flicks down the left flank then curling in pin point crosses.
When he joined there seemed to be an appreciation that we needed more solidity at the back because Digne getting caught upfield was dragging Keane out of position and causing us a world of problems. We also couldn’t stop any crosses from either flank coming into our box.
Mykolenko has taken a while to adapt to the pace and physicality of the league (hardly a massive shock) but now that he’s getting used to it he’s showing he can be solid defensively, he’s stopping crosses coming in, he’s shutting wingers down one on one, he’s starting to get his attacking game going.
Lo and behold we start to look a tiny bit better balanced with Coleman being marginally better than Kenny on the other side, Keane and Godfrey could focus on the one thing they can actually do (defend deep)
Considering the conditions he joined the club in i think he’s done well to get to where he is now and those writing him off after a few games just because they hated Benitez were beyond ridiculous and now just look like fools.
He’s nailed down the left back spot now taking it off Kenny and Godfrey. Meanwhile Villa concede 4 at the weekend and from the bit I watched Digne still hasn’t learned that unless you can get an accurate cross in, then losing the ball that far up the pitch and not sprinting back to defend still isn’t a good idea.
Get Nkonkou in working under Baines and Cole and let him deputise for Mykolenko next season. That’s one position sorted.

Burn it comprehensively to the ground.
Also lets not big him up too much, he still has a long way to go but from being the worst left back the club has ever seen to a pretty solid left back in some peoples eyes lets jut back him.

Agree. However that is not the point being made by those who are trumpeting mykolenko's passion as he thumps the ground at the end of the game. I couldn't give a camels arse if he does not have another good game all season. In that one action he has showed us all what it means to him to be a blue. The very passion hundreds on this board have been saying has been missing since September. So come on. Love him for it in the now instead of looking in your crystal balls and doubting him - and the team.

Villa fans are far from impressed with Digne by the looks of it, many saying he hasn't even been as good as Targett was, and many are bewildered as to why they gave him a lucrative 4 year deal at 29.
Imo that deal Reeks of Gerrard's own selfish for the now ambitions.

I think you nailed it about Mykolenko + Nkounkou sorting out Left back.
I am hopeful for both next season and cant be bad having Cole and Baines coaching them.

Nice link
On top of that theyre saying he seems injury prone and that was before his collarbone injury.
Mykolenko on the way up...Digne on the way down.

Took the Villa fans a handful of games to see what some fans on here still won’t admit because they’re all ‘je suis Lucas’
The only love affair Digne had was the one with himself.
I mean he was our highest chance creator in his time here.
But sound, lets just have Gordon as our playmaker.
