Oooh Fletcher, aren't you all creative and expressive with your shit tattoos.

Looks as though Smith has  decided that he wants nothing to do with this cup. Disgraceful so far.

I don’t think that’s the case. Pretty much this same team won the last round easily enough. This has just been awful tonight.

It couldn't be more night and day with the stark difference in the two performances.

Took Watkins 30 seconds to do more than the other three forwards have done all game

[kippaxvilla2]

I think we are gone here.

[PeterWithesShin]

Here comes Jota to save us

[Ozzjim]

Oooh Fletcher, aren't you all creative and expressive with your shit tattoos.

Looks like he should be on that 80s twitter thread.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Traore has made no impact at all on the right.

He's looked very poor.

[PeterWithesShin]

Most Villa thing to do would be score and lose on pens.

[jwarry]

To be fair Stoke look well organised. O’Neill was a good appointment for them

[themossman]

It’s a shame because we were building some nice momentum and I think it does matter when you throw in a performance like this even if it’s in a shit cup game.

[pauliewalnuts]

Good God Taylor is fucking shit.

[The Edge]

Stephen Fletcher said something to Elmo who replied "fuck off behave" I'd love to know what it was.

[Toronto Villa]

Jota coming on for Traore. WE.ARE.SAVED

[brontebilly]

At least El Gazi is getting involved keeps trying stuff. Traore has made no impact at all on the right.

Has been very poor, looks not fully fit in truth. Trez will be keeping the shirt in the first team for a while. Might aswell get Luiz on for that clown Lansbury.

Those closest to the first team have been very poor (Traore, Ramsey, Davis).

[dorsetvillian]

Traore has been so bad..
