Aston Villa vs Swansea City FA Cup Match Thread

I thought this was supposed to be a sell out.  There's seats everywhere.

Free to ST holders I think so they all get counted in the attendance figure.

Ah I see.  Ta.

[Risso]

So far so bad.

[hilts_coolerking]

This is piss poor.

[PaulWinch again]

Dean needs to get a grip on this, we’ve been shit of late.

[aj2k77]

Fuck off you dull ******, back to inspid shit without Grealish. One man team.

[VillaAlways]

Terrible. Swansea look a much better side. We look sloppy which appears to be the new norm

[SheffieldVillain]

Don't understand selecting McGinn and Whelan today. Both need resting and we have two obvious experienced options on the bench.

Agree Smith particularly referred to Connor and mcginn both being tiered and still plays the one that puts the most miles in. Can only be tactical guess against they’re 11

Another smith moan in the week is the constant reference to playing 3 RB’s in defence and today he chooses to play one at CB !

Out of interest which other CB would you have played instead? Tuanzebe who is injured, Chester who is injured and needs a rest or  Suliman who is ineligible?

It’s nowhere near good enough at the moment.

Bree, who's played there the last few games.

[Toronto Villa]

Dreadful so far. He's trying to play a pressing game with Steve Bruce's plodders. It won't be easy to fix this. Without Grealish the reality is this is going to take a while to change what we are. The last few weeks has been a massive kick in the nuts and check on reality for all of us.

He's still a RB playing at CB - which was the point the poster was making.

Revan. Why include a CB in the squad over the last few weeks and then not play him at all when there's a chance to?

[Axl Rose]

Very boring.

[VillaAlways]

We don’t look like scoring.

Maybe he doesn't think he's ready? I'm not sure a centre-half who's never ever played a minute is any more use than Hutton or Bree to be honest. If we were playing a team of kids fair enough but he's obviously picking a team to try to win the game. Plus Hogan.
