Aston Villa vs Wolves - League Cup 4th Rd Match Thread

We have little end product for all our possession. Glad we took the lead but we’ve been blunt aside from that. We need striker depth badly.

I don't think this is down to who is up front, put Kane up there and he'd be as isolated and ineffective because the accuracy of the passing in the final 3rd isn't there. I can think of 2 good passes into the box, 1 for Trez where the defender got across and 1 for the goal.

Oh I lost my lovely stream... would appreciate a pm to find another!

or El Ghazi

well what do I know!

To be fair this is what AEG does, he'll be anonymous for ages and then play a killer pass or take a chance and you wonder how good he could be if he was more consistent. The same is true of Hourihane and Lansbury as well.

He’s almost the exact opposite of trez who looks much busier but has no end product. AEG is all end product.

Trez playing himself away from first team ...

I'd agree with that, I suspect the end product will come with Trez though, seems to be trying too hard for me, I think he's one that we'll not be able to decide on one way or another until at least the summer.

It doesn’t help that our forwards aren’t the smartest when it comes to movement either though. I don’t disagree that we don’t create a lot from midfield and we need to attack as a unit but the forwards at our club are very static.

everyone goes up for the corner and then........

HT job done so far.

Slightly disappointed with the line up.  Would have rested Mings and McGinn, but wouldn't have made too many other changes really.

Wolves' average age is 19 and I haven't heard of any of their subs. If we can't beat them with the team we've put out then theres something wrong.

I’ve heard of Teddy Taylor.

My best chum texted to say he was on the bench. Son of a good friend of his. Aberdeen originally.

So the answer is no, I don’t really.

Bearly worth mentioning but it's actually Terry Taylor.

My mate can’t spell! Well worth the mention.

Some nice football. More than enough missed tackles. Nearly there. UTV.

(Thanks for the links - you know who you are)

[Small Rodent]

Luiz looked very box to box to me against Man City too.

No job is half done
Though promising it maybe
More is yet to come

Are the away fans in the North Stand?

That’s like those Japanese poems that I’ve forgotten the name for.

A very composed first half, did very well.
