Birkir Bjarnason miðjumaður Aston Villa byrjaði á meðal varamanna er liðið heimsótti Nottingham Forrest um helgina.
Scott Hogan skoraði eina mark leiksins og tryggði Aston Villa sigurinn. Villa er komið í fjórða sæti Championship deildarinnar og er líklegt til þess að fara upp í vor.
Birkir kom inn sem varamaður í hálfleik og átti frábæra spretti ef ummæli stuðnigsmanna Villa eru skoðuð.
Birkir hefur ekki fengið mörg tækifæri í vetur en þeim hefur þó fjölgað á nýju ári.
Birkir lék sem djúpur miðjumaður í leiknum og átti frábæra innkoma sem gæti orðið til þess að hann festi sig í sessi hjá félaginu.
Hér að neðan má sjá hvernig stuðningsmenn Villa töluðu um Birki.
Bjarnason was excellent when he came on tonight, was also one of the better performers last Saturday. I like him and hope he stays! #avfc

As much as I love Jedinak, he seems to be made of glass these days. If Bjarnason is going to hold the midfield with that quality, I’d be more than happy for him to get a run. #avfc

Home from Nottingham and going to bed a happy guy. Thought Villa played well. Bjarnason was excellent having come on for Whelan at the break. Vital three points in the bag. #AVFC

Have we found the perfect position for Birkir Bjarnason be it at he expense of injured Whelan? #avfc #topdrawperformance

Has to be said that Bjarnason looked quality in that DCM role yesterday in 2nd half. More energy and better distribution than Whelan imo #avfc
