Crewe Alexandra vs Aston Villa - Carabao Cup RD2 Match Thread

[Legion]

Lovely.

[Dave]

What a gorgeous passing move. Must have been 50 passes or more in the build up.

[GarTomas]

The enigma that is Hourihane. Really should be running the game from midfield, isn’t (like the other midfielders) but has 2 goals.

[Villa in Denmark]

How’s marvellous playing

A bit anonymous

That's exactly the description I'd use for him and Lansbury

At least Lansbury set up a goal. AEG has been really disappointing

Good point well made. Still 3-0 at half time without really breaking sweat can't be sniffed at.

What happened to Targett?

Looked like a pulled hamstring, hopefully nothing serious, he played on for a few minutes after the first 'twinge' so it's suggests they thought he could run it off.

[devilla]

Was anybody counting the passes there?

Wonderful stuff.

[Toronto Villa]

What a gorgeous passing move

We’ve huffed and puffed at times but that really was delightful.

Leeg - 3-0 must at some point give Dean a bit more flexibility to maybe bring on your lad. Let’s hope

[London Villan]

Great cross from Gilbert.

[GarTomas]

Well given some of the recent debacle at Burton and Luton it’s nice to be 3 up at half time with the general consensus we’ve not played that great.

What a time to be alive!

[Edvard Remberg]

Great cross from Gilbert.

AEG cross

Tongue in cheek, perhaps?

Conor is a quality player. Premier League starter or not, he's no enigma; surely.

[paul_e]

2nd and 3rd goals were great football. They're working very hard to try to close us down and making it tough for us to settle but the times where we've gotten a grip of things and played our game has shown the gulf in quality.

[Toronto Villa]

Was anybody counting the passes there?

Wonderful stuff.

Just did - There was a couple of scuffed passes but if we count them it was 23

[JUAN PABLO]

who we want next game?

fancy Manu  myself
