The saying goes - trust the process. meaning that as long as the process is right, the results will come in the end.
in our context, the fact that you could see more attacking intent and more shots meant that the points would follow eventually.
that said I'm not getting carried away bs Villa as there three most important players (imo) either didn't play or played very little (Martinez, Diane amd Watkins)...I still expect three points today.
