Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Wanderers League Cup Post-Match Thread

I doubt we'll have to wash the kit. My biggest concern is that there's enough time between now and Saturday for my seat to be decontaminated.

I am taking wet wipes with me on Saturday to clean mine and dettol spray. I could smell them from Trinity Road upper.

Good shout pal.

Fair bit of build up, non event.  Neither Davis or Kodjia did much to put pressure on Wes for the weekend, especially with the injury.  Luiz MOTM by a distance. 

Ahmed ElMohammedy in my opinion was MotM.

Any post match news on poor  Keinan?

Hamstring according to Dean.

[Lastfootstamper]

Basically we played them off the park for 90 minutes and should have thrashed them. Sadly for Wolves we have a far better squad than they do, and their second string is utter shit.

Succinctly put, and about the only things we can really deduce from this evening.

Player ratings tonight? Anyone at all putting pressure on getting in the team for Liverpool? Luiz, Hourihane, Trez and AEG had the most to gain pre-game you would think.

No as opposition was very weak. CB's did ok but never had any pressure.

Konsa was very poor for their goal, should never have let the forward turn and shoot with his right foot in that position. Arguably two fouls (on Elmo and surely offside) elsewhere by Wolves in the same play, mind.

Not sure how much benefit some of our fringe players could have got from such uncompetitive fare. United at Villa Park next

I thought it was quite amusing when they took off number 77 and replaced him with 56.

[Lastfootstamper]

Well, I for one thoroughly enjoyed their repertoire this evening. I loved the eighties, me. Took me right back.

Dean Smith fucked up with the substitution with John McGinn picking up an unnecessary yellow card. There was no need for him to come on when he did.

Don't know why some moan on El Ghazi especially as he was noticeably tracking back and saved Taylor aswell as coverage for Elmo also slipped the ball in well for a goal.

Biggest problem with Trez is he doesn't impose himself and has lacked finishing off chances as he again could have scored.
Also could do with getting to grips with physicallity of the game.

Agree both could be more apparent in attacking sense however the whoscored.com ratings system have El Ghazi highest rated.

Douglas , I found being the man most in possession of ball perhaps could've made a lot more telling contribution and seemed to stroll although pretty decent on the ball, could have been far more effective as the ratings systems suggests.

El Ghazi 7.85
Lansbury  7.83
Elmo 7.82
Trézéguet 7
Hause 6.99
Davis 6.92
Hourihane 6.85
Konsa 6.61
Taylor 6.39
Steer 6.31
Douglas 5.97

Subs:
Kodjia 6.23
McGinn 6.22

And as for that Fcukin Wesley.

Just got back from the game, El Ghazi was not our best player, but for his name appearing on the scoresheet I wouldn't have known he was playing.

Douglas the worst.......not a chance.

Hause impressed me, but very disappointed in Hourihane, after starting a few games recently and looking damn good, he had a real chance to impress tonight and be back in the team, but this was the 'couldn't give a shit' Hourihane from the Bruceball days.

Maybe, but there was also absolutely no need for McGinn to make that challenge in that manner. Reminiscent of some of his dafter stuff throughout the first half of last season.
