Villa v Palace Post Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

I’m absolutely sick to death of us effectively throwing the cups every year.  Just so what we can get to the last 16 of the CL and 4th at best.

[lovejoy]

Chin up!

[kippaxvilla2]

Take the bloody cups seriously for once!  Feel sorry for the people that go.

[eye digress]

Heroes are Mings, Kamara and McGinn - the adults in the room - together with Ned, who I thought was very good, and Duran. Gold stars to all.

No stars for Buendia, so often caught in possession. Philogene was too lightweight (made Bailey look like a rock) and his decision making was appalling - criminal to pass up this opportunity to shine. Wasn’t impressed by Gauci in general and felt he might have done better with both goals. Maatsen had an unusually poor night, with a lot of misplaced passes.

Everyone else, passable.

We could have beaten these lot, even with all the changes.

Another miserable Emery domestic cup team selection and result.

Oh gutted. Bring back mid table and a touch of relegation, them were the days.

A sad night for me. After two years of blind happy clapping this is the first night of the Emery era that I find myself a bit disappointed.

It's so frustrating. I'm getting on and I want to see a Villa captain hoist a cup over his head. If not now, when?

Well now that we have a good team maybe some silverware can join the collection?

My last 3 games in the Holte:

Stevenage 1-2
Everton 1-2
Tonight.

Sorry everyone.

[Legion]

Not impressed at all.

[Richard]

Not overly bothered, be very difficult to win anyway looking at the teams in the last 8. Unai I think is looking at the bigger picture to try and avoid burn out like last season, hence giving most of the starters the night off. Encouraged by Mings and Kamara as we will need them.

It’s great yes.  Of course it is.  No one is saying any different.  But football used to be about winning cups.  Remember that?

Need to put a photofit on the turnstiles: do not let this man in.

[Rigadon]

Shit performance, but I'm struggling to care. 

Buendia isn't good enough for where we were, let alone where we are are or where we are headed.  I hope he gets a great move soon.

Gauci 3, Kosta 6, Carlos 3, Mings 7, Maatsen 6, Kamara 7, McGinn 5, Bailey 5, Philogene 3, Buendia 2, Duran 6. Unfair to mark the three young lads who came on.

We are hugely reliant on Rogers and Ramsey at the moment for any creativity. Kamara isnt too far off starting in the PL team.

I know Palace won but the cameo Schlupp put in could go viral. Carrying a serious amount of timber too.
