Well done from the youngsters and some first teamers on half speed. Just what emery ordered I guess. Our youngsters shoudnt get negative behaviour from our fans.

Tomorrow, after the Liverpool-West Ham game.

I think Bogarde has what it takes to be a regular in time, he was good with the ball and not so good without it but we are through and he'll have learned a lot. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all that.

His two major things to work on are positional sense and decision making. He makes poor mistakes, but he has lots of good attributes too. He definitely shouldn’t be starting top flight games, but being in and around the squad should help him.

Terrible goal to concede, Swinkels had two chances to head it and Bogarde should also have got closer and got a challenge in. Not good at all.

Poor bogarde. Getting destroyed by villa fans on the Instagram page. The kids young and played with another youngster. Gotta give him a break. Not a easy game for them.

That's a makeshift back four and keeper

 He was poor and I think that fact that hes playing first team football scares the hell out of everyone.

That's very harsh. I thought both CBs were decent for about 80mins in bringing the ball out from the back. Barkley hid in front of them and did Duran hold up a single ball all night? Did seem strange that Wycombe weren't bothered about properly pressing us until very late on. If they did earlier we would have been in trouble.

Perhaps not but Ive no problem with him starting these games, and making the odd mistake in them.

Those games are nearly always hard watches.  If you win 5-0 it feels a bit empty, and if you somehow lose then it’s doom and gloom. 

Result is the only important thing and we won.  Onto the next one.

This perfectly sums it up for me.

The players largely did ok individually, but when you have that many unfamiliar players the performances are always like tonight.

I think we can knock any thoughts of a 'quadruple' on the head.

Unai is treating this competition as a training session and no more.

We know where his priorities lie.

Can we really blame him?

I thought Wycombes tactic was to let the CBs have the ball and press the option of the ball into our midfielders. And it worked pretty well.

Unai Emery interview coming up. Wonder if he'll open with "we was shit"

Agree. A good run out for the youth,but otherwise it's a distraction.

Bogarde did get a challenge in and then the ball seemed to hit their guy in the arm and fall nicely for him.
