Aston Villa v Crystal Palace ( Carabao Cup )

[SaddVillan]

There’s no wonder we haven’t won a trophy for 28 years
we don’t really want to

Yeah I'm disappointed.

Last season I could understand chucking it v Everton as we had a far weaker squad and had just started Europe and coping with the schedule.

This season we're already pretty much through to CL knock outs and in a decent placing for the league so I'd have liked a bit more emphasis on progressing in league cup.

We are not ceetain of CL knocks out at all mate. Still a lot of games and we couls still finish in play offs

Unai has been fairly unequivocal - the domestic cups aren't top priority - it's the League and Chumps comp.

Both have the potential to generate the money we need to build.

When we've got a squad of proper first teamers who we can rotate properly, then the Cups might come into view as proper targets, instead of nice to haves - which is what they are at the moment.

That might disappoint traditionalists, but it's our current reality.

Thankfully this shit team wont be anywhere close to what plays vs spurs

How can you only have two shots on target and being losing.

Its really not good enough

[PaulWinch again]

The performance has reflected our attitude to this game - disinterested. We’ve been disjointed, and just really poor. We need to turn up and make a bit of a statement against Spurs.

Glad I never went as well, can't see any different for the FA cup

[coreyfeldman]

Emery clearly doesn't give a fuck about this competition

[frank black]

Unai doesn’t give a flying f@@k about the domestic cups.

Predictable

[Tuscans]

A classic Mings yellow

[Demitri_C]

Mings looking knackered now. But 90 mins will do him a world of good

[Tuscans]

Unai doesn’t give a flying f@@k about the domestic cups.

Predictable

I don't to be honest with you.

[AV84]

Glad I never went as well, can't see any different for the FA cup

Depends on what's happening in the league and CL for is at that point, I'd imagine. They're Emery's priorities. If we somehow manage to fluff up our great start to the CL, then we might take the FA Cup seriously.

[Villan82]

There is such a disconnect between what the club wants and what the fans want.

There is a huge thirst for a trophy among the fans. We did top 4, can we not try and notch another actual achievement in the club honours? been way too long.

[lovejoy]

Quite, our reserves aren’t good enough to beat mid table sides so this is our reality in this cup. Fair enough, bigger fish to fry.

[aj2k77]

I'm pissed off we keep getting lumbering ourselves with completely useless back up keepers. Gauci is fucking shite.

[VillaTim]

Piss poor this

[steamer]

Sounds dreadful
Sympathy to all there
Lets beat them in a couple of weeks time
This poor cup showings is pissing me off, just give up in advance and save the fans some money
