Can you imagine if he had bought Jack on to get lumped by one of their agricultural players and be out for 3 weeks the constenation?What last night proved is that there is not much depth beyond our best 11 and why we need to protect them.Correct.Doesn't explain the Bristol game though, as Dean pointed out himself last night.

Injury argument makes no sense. Was Guardiola worried about KDB and Sterling getting injured? Was Ancelotti worried about James and Calvert-Lewin being injured? No they are the winning mentality coaches. Don’t get that 5 games in 17 days issue either. Same as everybody else.They have a bit more squad depth than we do. They also have an actual manager with a brain. Smith isn't good enough for the Premier League yet. He can't attract players either.

Training isn't 90 minutes of competitive football.
This season is very condensed. It's shit to lose a cup game but we can't afford burn out towards the end of the season. We will improve year on year, first team and replacements wise the longer we stay in the division. Last year was about staying up. This year is about stabilising and building a solid base. Next year we should have enough quality and a longer season and break to think more positively about going for cups.

Play your best team in every competitive game. I do not like this modern day fanning about with weak selections for cup games. Aston Villa football club was set up to compete in every game.We scratched the first time we entered the FA Cup, supposedly as we were worried we'd get smashed out of sight. That might be a myth. The reason we scratched according to our Oracle could have been in protest at Oxford University (our opponents) cheating in the previous round. I like that. That’s a much more Corinthian answer and sits well in my world of goodness about our club.

Happy to be called a loon but I would rather be in the quarterfinals of the League Cup than beat Liverpool. Win, loose or draw v Liverpool won’t define our season, again it will be teams around us and we have made a fantastic start in the league. I would rather finish 15th and win the League Cup than finish 8th. I want Villa to win things.
