Aston Villa v Crystal Palace ( Carabao Cup )

[Demitri_C]

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.

Yeah i get it but i really do think palace were there for taking. Their best two went off a good opportunity.

But no point being in any competition if we are not aiming to win it. I do hope we take fa cup more seriously

Beat Spurs at the weekend and this result will quickly be forgotten, if we don’t then…..not good.

Only thing that’s being forgotten is the desire to win trophies

If we don't want to play these games,  can't we just say we'll give it a miss this year rather than put in these shit performances every year.

[Demitri_C]

Not even trying to fucking score its like we are trying to defend a lead.

[Jane]

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

Predictable

I don't to be honest with you.

Get out.

[Ducksworthy]

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.

I concur, I equally thirst for a trophy. I hope it is one with massive handles, last seen early 80s.

If we aren't going to try to win the domestic cups we might as well charge £10 adults and £1 for kids because it's a waste of everybody's time.

[Tuscans]

Phew, bring on the Champions League

[VillaTim]

£25 to go watch Mings and Kamara train , absolutely woeful .

Yep. Gutted. Wankers.

[coreyfeldman]

Painful that

[HolteLower]

Backward steps again. Utterly poor

[django]

We’ve played the last 15 mins like we’re 4-0 down with no chance of getting back into it.

[Risso]

That was a load of fucking wank.

[Demitri_C]

Well i wont be paying to watch any further carabao cup matches when its clear we dont give a shit.

Next season i reckon villa be lucky if 20k fans turn up if ee get a home tie
