Can't see us getting much out of this one.  2-1 would be acceptable in the circumstances.

[achilles]

3-0 loss and we look forward to Man City!

Makes you think how thin we are

Why wouldn't you have Marvellous anywhere near the squad?
Just curious not looking for an argument

getting sick of every Leicester fan saying to me I feel sorry for you lot , this could be a spanking 6 or 7 .

Come on Villa . Lets have some pride . Shut these fookers up for me .

Lets make this the reverse sliding doors moment, when our comeback win sets them barrelling back off to the obscurity they emerged from, whilst we never look back in our march to global domination.

I'm just hoping we put on a good show and if we go out it will because we simply went out to a better team across two legs. Versus playing to avoid defeat and getting hammered before the second leg.

IMHO he started ok when he came (I do however think the name was more exciting that the actual player) but for me every break up of play he has managed there have been several times, sometimes almost immediately after, that he gives the ball away very cheaply.

At least 3 times I can recall where it lead directly to a goal.

I am not sure that unless you have the right blend of player around him he is a bit of a liability. I think he could become good but not yet

Only my opinion of course

[Footy-Vill]

Marvelous can only tackle he can't shoot pass so well or head it I rather have Danny '8 glasses' at number 6

I also have observed Naka being rather lazy at tracking and covering , clumsy and amateurish.
Hopefully he could develop but like good old Wes he's rather limited footballer and the step up proving tricky for him.

Time and again witness him not cover or track runs by slow pace movement and I think he needs real development in some aspects .
Good luck to him as he's here but I've seen better Midfielders in championship like Kevin Phillips who would have much preferred

[Legion]

Little or no involvement from the U23s.

there’s a very simple barometer as to whether we really want to get to a Wembley or not

if Grealish starts we want to if not we don’t

(Obviously even if he starts it’s a long shot but without him we are just pretending)

Already getting wound up at the thought of Kodjia doing absolutely fuck all

[Legion]

He doesn't deserve to play for me. Clearly not interested, wants away in January and Archer or Vassilev would at least give it 110%.

[TonyD]

Looking forward to this.  Full strength team please Dean.  And go for the jugular from the off.
