Disappointing but that's the nature of penalties.
Plenty of positives:
Sanson looked lively before he went off
Great goal from Archer
Cash back on form
Buendia getting 90 minutes under his belt
Carney and Philogene Bidace looked decent

Some negatives:
Sanson going off injured
Would have hoped for carney ahead of nakamba for the penalties, as good as nakamba has been recently, shooting has never been his strength

Did well, by the sounds of it. If we hadn't kept getting players injured, we might have won. Maybe Archer can come off the bench and score a late winner on Saturday to make up for all the times those ****** have done it to us.

That was a really good game.

I thought two of the more experienced players let us down on occasion, in Young and Buendia. But we were well on top at times too.

Archer looked great although should have put the other one in. Hause pulled off an inch perfect tackle on Lukaku just as he was about to pull the trigger. Sanson looked the real deal until his injury. JPB always looks confident and beats his man so often.

Gutted to lose on penalties. But with that performance Fred and Wilma look a bit daft with the ‘I told you sos.’

I thought it was more a cracking save than a poor penalty.

Surely Cash would've been a better option than Marv?

We didn't win but DS will have learned a lot from that game. All credit to the Villa youngsters, they had to get Lukaku on to try and get them over the line. I suspect a few of the penalty takers have never been in that position before, noticabley none of the kids had the pressure put on them. Great goal by Archer and none of the kids looked out of place. The future is bright.

Good performance, all things considered a good game, made them work for the win, thing is, we may have lost on penalties, but they can only say they beat us on penalties, well done the Villa, we are evolving, its coming together well in my opinion.

Very proud of them, superb performance, but also feeling a tiny bit pissed off that Smith didn't have one or two older heads to call on later on.

Scores:

Steer - 7 - Should have done better for the goal but some great saves
Cash - 8 - Great all night and superb assist for Archer's goal
Tuanzebe - 9 - Commanding and calm all evening.
Hause - 8 - solid, and a brilliant tackle late on to keep us in it.
Young  - 5 - Looked ropey and ill at ease all night, given the run around by Hudson-Adoi. Should have played Targett instead.
Nakamba - 7 - Looked very decent, protcetd the defence superbly and passing more than OK.
Sanson - 8 - very good until injury ruined his night. (Chuk 7, took a while to get going, but very good by the end).
Traore - 7.5 - usual lovely touches but has added athleticism and closing down to his game. Right foot still only for standing on!
Buendia - 5 - did very little, and looked like he was the untried youth player. Very weak.
El Ghazi - 6 - OK with the ball at his feet, using the ball as crap as ever.
Archer - 8 - Got into good areas, 3 good efforts, one magnificent goal.

Considering how many kids we had we played really, really well.

Buendia has some settling in to do, hopefully quickly.

Cash had gone off. I think there's loads more pressure on penalties when you're behind. If Young scores and whoever took their second had missed, our Marv may well have smashed it in. Not that I really blame Young, either. Even the very best miss penalties from time to time.

Disappointed we didn't have more experience on the bench, but can't fault the players at all and great experience for the youngsters.

I do blame Smith for putting Nakamba in the 5 penalty takers. Did anyone think he would score?
