Agbonla-score

Here we go..... McGrath - no need for explanation Spink - Kept us in the game to win the European Cup and a long great servant of the club Platt - one of the best players to ever grace the shirt, helped us to 2nd place and earned us massive transfer fees (at the time) Grealish - Helped us gain promotion, kept us up in our first season and earned us £100m in transfer fees to build the current team Withe - helped us win our last title and scored the winner in the European Cup final Barry - Was influential for us for so long and earned us transfer fees Hendrie - controversial I know but was homegrown, cost us nothing and was a great servant to the club across many seasons Ashley Young - Helped us to 3 top 6 finishes and came back for a 2nd stint and was a valuable utility player Mellberg - solid and was a great servant to the club across many seasons Tony Daley - for personal reasons, the reason I loved going to Villa Park when I was younger

What the hell was that by Duran?

Do you mean if we’d won, would I give credit to Gerrard for the way we were set up? Yes. I thought the front three he picked worked. Still think he’s made too many poor decisions over the last year though

I’d like to see Sanson

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of Gerrard. However, this defeat is not on him. It’s a lack of composure that has prevented us from scoring and two individual areas that have cost us the goals.

After watching City V United, this isn’t a great game for the neutral

Please someone post that old giff of Bowery spinning in his chair

Come on Dean this formation. Is shit.

Anyone else’s signal breaking up? I’m on Virgin Media

I was wondering the same thing.

It’s ok lads. Ross is coming on

I think it is actually

It’s like watching Brazil

Fair play to Davis. I’ve never rated him but he’s made a massive difference to this game nicking the ball off that defender and creating Trev’s second goal

It just goes to show how low Smith rates Barkley. In a game where there is zero creativity he still doesn’t want to bring him on

All good apart from the comment about McGinn. If we are satisfied with a midfielder’s performance because he puts himself about but doesn’t do anything with the ball, we might as well invite Thor back into a midfield. Surely we can expect more from our midfielders than that

It’s either that or make the dinner and I’m hoping the wife gets up before I do

On a more positive note, we know Ramsey and Samsung can affect a game when they come on.

Don’t get me wrong I love Dean Smith and believe he is the right manager for us. However, I really wish he would make subs earlier in the game to give us a chance. We had Leicester on the ropes there at the end, a team now in second place in the Premier League. We left it far too late to inject energy into the gane.

I can’t speak for other people on here but I’ve been annoyed with him losing possession quite a number of times this game with either misplace passes or poor touches. He may well have put himself about a little bit but that is only half his job.

Mings just completely bypassed McGinn with a long hopefully past to Traore because he didn’t have confidence to pass to McGinn in the middle of the park

But he hasn’t used the ball well today and Sanson as we know is full of energy

Might be controversial but I would like to see Sanson replace McGinn. His touch looks a little off today

Fair play to Watkins for spotting that gap in making the run

Did anyone just hear Stan Collymore’s gag about sleeping in the car??
