Cash and Ramsey were on the bench, why not bring them on after 60 mins? Surely Barkley could have started next to Kamara? Onana should have been on the bench at a minimum, only played 45 mins last weekend. It's not really on to throw a load of randoms with very little game into a cup time and expect a performance. We were equally as bad in the previous round. After the late collapse last weekend, a strong positive performance would have set us up nicely for the weekend. But that triple sub tells you how much Emery cared about the game.

Man utd have won 2 trophies last 2 seasons, what has that done for them?
Are you serious?

Very serious
It’s given them and their fans two fucking trophies. Last one we had was 1990 fucking six.

Less disapointed by the result then the performance.  A lot of the squad players provided more questions than answers.

Thought Mings and Kamara looked good considering how long they have been out.  Carlos, Gucci, Beundia and Jayden didnt help themselves. 

The irony in that is between them, they represent about 70m of investment.  Beundia, I think possibly has been outgrown.  Im hoping that Jayden has more to offer - but currently were looking light for froward options, particularly with Bailey out of form. 

Unfortunately typical domestic club game under Unai

Maybe Unai is more focused on the FA Cup when considering the domestic competitions.

I’m rather disappointed, I thought we could have won this after a couple of their key players went off injured early on.

The good bit is Mings playing and surviving 90 minutes!
Also, Kamara taking control of the midfield.

I know mate I was there. I'm not defending it or saying it's right, and my favourite villa moments are cup games but that's what we've got to. Modern football baby

You could see from the low down pitch camera the lack of effort in our play. If we could have forfitted that beforehand then I'm sure we would have.

I agree with Unai about his priorities. League first, Champions League, FA Cup and then the League Cup.

I disagree with the amount of  changes. As soon as the teams were out I knew we’d lose. It massively reduces our chances of winning silverware this season and saves us a maximum of 3 games. More than that it undermines the spirit and momentum we’re attempting to build which doesn’t help with the other competitions either.

Half expected that to be honest. Mings and Kamara were decent which was something positive to take away from the game but Buendia looks way off it still. Philogene and Carlos also not great. Duran's all round game is coming on though.

Entirely predictable. Basically, a second string starting eleven (apart from McGinn and Bailey). I thought as insurance at least have the first teamers on the bench to change things. But, only Cash and Ramsey on the bench with experience, who didn't even get on in the 2nd half?! Pointless playing the domestic cup competitions as this happens year on year.

Yep. As soon as you saw the bench tonight it was obvious the club couldn’t be arsed.

I think on the amount of changes, we’re limited in where we can make big changes for a competitive (okay, given the way it panned out not very competitive from our side…) game without big repercussions. Not many league games you can chuck a youth in to see how they do or give someone coming back from injury 30 minutes without it being massive dissected afterwards if it goes wrong both at the time or the end of the season. But then will be blamed for not giving others a chance. No way to win that one.
