Aston Villa v Crystal Palace ( Carabao Cup )

[olaftab]

And I don’t want to hear “The team was good enough to win” because it clearly isn’t and “oh it was an opportunity for them to show what they can do”.

First XI fine. Disappointed with the bench though.

Looks like another bad Holte End night. Last two I’ve sat in here -Stevenage and Everton in the cups.

This will end very badly special looking at the Palace line up.

A bit over the top.

I'm not convinced it will end badly.

Is Barkley the only senior not to start either tonight or last weekend?

I'd imagine he's firmly in the dog house .

Anyway it's clear Emery isn't prioritising this competition , which is understandable

It’s easily good enough
if they don’t perform it’s down to attitude

[Villa Lew]

Expecting a defeat, but there again, we are starting with big Jhon, so there is still hope.

[VillaTim]

I doubt any of them will be flying into tackles tonight

Can’t believe he’s throwing it away. I have just parked up and feel like driving back home. Unbelievable selection. Emery just does not rate domestic cups.

Its certainly not the strongest teams but its good to give minutes to a host of players like mings and kamara.

Its obviously low priority foe unai this year and probably understandable sundays a huge game

Isn't it great to see Tyrone and Boubacar starting? Excellent stuff and pleased with that line up.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

 Tyrone!

It's going to pens: I can feel it.

We'll lose yet another cup tie at home.  :'(

[Louzie0]

Very good, devilla and they have Ned and Diego in there to support Gauci, as well.
Duran, Buendia and SJM to score.

Boubacar back at last to boss the midfield.

Maatsen, Philogene and Bailey are all first team picks, as well, so more goals and heartache in store for CP.

[Demitri_C]

God so good to see mings back

[Ger Regan]

The camera angle here is awful

[VILLA MOLE]

So 4 4 1 1 ?

[usav]

Buendia again just too slow on the ball. 

[Risso]

Decent effort Bailey.
