Not a bad team... would have liked some heavyweights on the bench, though. They have Lukaku on theirs!
Agreed, it's not like they have less to play for.

Really interesting selection - fair play to Smith for giving the kids a top-flight experience.

Not sure why Martinez doesn’t play. He’s had one game in 14 days and a short private plane trip.
Anyway, good luck boys!
Probably more of a case of why risk him. Plus, Steer can try and make up for two weeks ago.

Concerning however that no senior forwards on the bench.
Agree with this and no complaints about the team but would have liked Ings or Ollie on the bench. Also surprised by how strong the Chelsea line-up and bench are.
I can only surmise that with the early game on Saturday Dean wants his senior pros resting at home. FA Cup it is this year then.

Then again, they have a second eleven most of whom would walk into all but the half dozen best teams in the world.
It would probably be difficult for them to not put out a very strong side.

This cup is probably our best chance of silverware and we throw it away. Chelsea have much bigger things to aim for and they have Lukaku on the bench and we have neither Watkins or ings.

This is where i am, they can bring lukaku on!! I thinkmits a big ask for Archer, from Solihull Moors to leading the line against a fairly decent chelsea defence. I get we have a lunchtime k/o on saturday, but Watkins has only played a couple of games, i would of thought he coukd of been on the bench. Lets hope for a shock or at least a real good go at them

I think the lack of a senior striker on the bench is a mistake though.
Agreed. I know we have a massive game at the weekend but Ollie late on if the game is still tight would have been highly valuable

He didn't go down immediately or anything. I can only assume it's the previous injury flaring up again/not fully healed, or he's felt something and they didn't want to risk it. Gutted for him.

The ball from Bertie for the latest Cam chance was fucking brilliant, took about 4 defenders out of the game.
Traore going to be a really good impact sub for us this season when games are level and play is stretched. He does loads of silly things at times but less time on the pitch can also mean more likely he produces match winning assist as he's certainly capable.

Probably should have scored the second one...nice turn but had a bit of time. Credit the keeper I guess, AEG was unfortunate the rebound was cleared off line by James
Very positive half all round with the exception of Sanson's injury. He looked our best player so that's a real blow for him. Traore is impressing me too, odd daft touch mixed with the odd genius one as always but looks a real threat. Set piece coach already having a positive impact.

Sanson getting crocked is a real bummer - he looked really impressive. High work rate, plenty of challenges and great presence in the last third. We've got to get him fit.
We've looked better playing in a quick transition when we win possession on midfield instead of just hoofing it up. Cam and Anwar struggle to hold on to the ball with their back to goal.
Pity Cam didn't put one if his chances away. Third time lucky?
Mind you, they've got some serious/expensive firepower on the bench.
Post by: Legion on September 22, 2021, 08:41:59 PM

I dont understand the logic of not having one or two senior players on the bench. Lets be honest OT away we are likley getting nothing. I would have rather prioritised this game. Chelsea are there for the taking.
Konsa is there but I agree...Watkins has looked a bit rusty so far this season so definitely could or should be in the squad. To be fair to Deano and the club, there is no point courting the best young players across the divisions if you don't give them chances in the first team when they arise. Chelsea have given a few of theirs a go tonight too. Has made for a good game. Tuchel certainly is taking it seriously if his antics are anything to go by.

Also, why give Chelsea's reserves / youth the free experience of playing against experienced PL players in a match their club don't care about ?

On the other hand, I guess starting on your own up front for Villa against Chelsea is even more rare.

To be fair, I only saw it on the TV in the concourse as I'm still waiting in the queue for a bottle of Carlsberg.Archer didn't take that goal well enough.
Haha!

Once he's involved in the game he's fantastic to watch, once he's able to be involved in the game for 80-90 minutes at a time he's going to be top quality.

I suppose the number of injuries we've picked up could be used as a counter to the "why didn't he pick a stronger team" argument.
Indeed. I'd rather us have a go at the FA Cup. We did this last year. So many positives that have come out of tonight.

Yes because he snatched at a few chances 1st half. Then scored a very good goal so just surprised he didn't take a pen instead of Nakamba given his confidence would've been right up, that's all.

Penalties are a lottery, Nakamba, Barkley and Mount all put them in the same place but Kepa guessed right and Jed didn't.
Thought Nakamba had a great game but...I never want to see him take a peno again! The 90 min cup ties + penos are great.

May I be the first to sat that the team was a "disgrace" not only to the competiotion abut to the travelling fans as well, who paid £37 to watch that absolute shambles of a display against the Euro champs!! I bet Flin5tone is absolutely crushing gravel with his bare teeth in frustration and disapointment!!!!
Well played boys. Gives me real hope for this club. Archer's finish was sublime from a perfect cross. Great performance. I'm feeling pretty proud as a Villa fan tonight.
oh oh oh
Play a proper keeper and have better players on bench we go through. Blame at managers door
Chelsea had lukaku on bench we didn't take ings or Watkins
Disgrace
Oh he shoots he scores!!!!! Jog on you tesco bag wearing troll. Our U23's would wipe your seniors off the park :)

We need to stop slagging off Dean, especially when the line up comes out.Damn straight.
This team is competitive and the players have clearly bought in. Regardless of formation or personnel decisions we are not going to roll over for anyone anymore. We are a lot stronger than we let on and the boys need support.
That being said.. somebody put this Flin5tone guy on a leash.

Shame as it leaves fewer opportunities for some of these players to get games this season, but when the draw was made I thought wed most likely go out so I'm not too devastated.

The negativity is ridiculous. Heads held high.
This.
Great game plenty of positives and for the first season in a long while we have genuine talent in the second string who are actually pushing for a start in the first 11.

We need to remember that if we want to hoover up all these fantastic kids we've got to reward them with first team football. It's all well and good training with the first team squad every day, even making the bench but nothing comes close to running out with the first team on a match day.
Dean may have weaknesses but bringing through the kids ain't one. It's just a shame their cup run has come to an end but the experience will have done them the world of good.

Penalties today probably summed it up - with a bit more luck and composer, this would have been a very good start to the season.
2 years ago - if you said we would have taken a strong Chealsea team to penalties, with 100m+ of talent injured or rested I would have laughed at you.
Think they are all doing us proud. Only thing I am slightly nervous about is Emi10 - think he looks a good player, just not sure he's record signing good. Think some of that may be fitness and not getting a run in the team though.
And - although Steer dived while the penalty taker was still putting the ball down, he's still probably made the most important penalty save in the last 10 years.

The 90 min cup ties + penos are great.
Respectively disagree. Great is Brian Little destroying QPR in a 3rd semi final at Highbury. Great is winning the cup at Old Trafford in a 2nd replay with a Chris Nicholl screamer and more Little magic. None of these would ever have happened with the present system.

Steer 7 - some fine saves, never lets us down
Cash 8 - I've been critical of him in the past but he was brilliant tonight and great assist
Tuanzebe 7 - lost Tuchel a bit for the goal but that aside was very good, he's a fine defender
Hause 8 - A warrior, especially when Lukaku came on
Young 6 - lots of critical comments on match thread but I thought he did well v CHO. Not great with the ball though.
Nakamba 8 - excellent performance, surprising me of late
Sanson 7/Chucky 6 - Sanson was very impressive before injury, Chucky took a while to settle but made a few nice runs
Buendia 6 - did ok, missed a big chance but grafted hard. Bit of work to make our first X1
Traore 7 - fitness coming along nicely, surprised to see him come off to be honest so hope not injury related
AEG 7 - poor in first half bit seemed to grow a pair at half time and battled far harder in second half. Always gets into good positions, decent chance missed
Archer 8 - missed two big chances but a truly brilliant header. Good movement throughout
Deano 8 - ballsy selection but fully vindicated. Seeing Tuchel throw on likes of Lukaku and Mount while we brought on kids was brilliant.

In my opinion, you're the disgrace.
Fine, battling performance, and a little unlucky not to have gone through. Several huge pluses tonight....

Villa 4-3 Baggies penalty shoot out.

Proud of the team that played tonight however with a slightly different selection we would have won this in the 90 minutes. And surely Cash or Archer would have been a better choice than Nakamba.Apparently Cash is fuming, He aint having no one say he wouldn't take a peno, when he offered to.
Just wait til you hear what he has to say about Ashley Preece
Unfortunately, Dean chose not to let him take one as he was subbed at 77 mins
