Aston Villa v Wycombe Wanderers Post-Match Thread

[Risso]

Erm, lobsters.

There was a point towards the end of the first half where Ayew won the ball, was tackled, knocked to the ground won it back, was tackled again and then won it back and laid it off. All the while Grealish was stood a foot away uninvolved.

Really strange what's happening with Grealish. Think it's a lack of confidence like most of our players, they just defer to each other rather than taking responsibility. A team with Ayews attitude and we'd be fine.

The BBC highlights are on the website. Only tiny snag is they've forgotten to include the goals, but you can't have everything.

I see Mr Garde has been carping on about Grealish during his post match press conference.

Really, I thought he'd clam up.

Its rather weird you have click the related goals links to see the goals separately from the er.....watch every goals highlights.

I heard bits of the commentary and Saunders was laying into Gestede ( he is good in the air but useless with his back to goal; you should work out what you can and can't do when you're a youngster and he is no good wi the ball at his feet) and Ayew ( giving Lyden no support at all, really wouldn't want to be making a debut behind him).

We need to be careful with Grealish.  Yes he's having a bad time, but given the number of players we've let go, only to see them shine at other clubs where their managed properly, is that a risk we should take?

Job done.  Quite looking forward to the next round and hoping for the Saturday 5.30pm slot.

Which is the best car park at Wembley?

Anyone know a good place for drinking towards Harrow?

Anyone know when the FA will announce the allocations?

If you're in the seat behind me at Wembley then you're in the standing section.

Gestede is not very good at highest level  in any aspect of the game.  Apart from that he could be an effective aerial threat but is too immobile and clumsy.

I have booked mu hotel. Managed to get a room at the Wembley Hilton for  just £650 per night. Staying Friday and Saturday for celebrations.

I agree. I've been wanting him more involved lately but tonight's performance showed why he's not been featuring.

I'd have thought he'd be a dab-hand at dealing with the media by now, although eel probably be getting a tad tired of all that post-match pollocks.
