Poor first half all round, too many petty fouls in positions that didn’t even invite attack from set pieces. Lots of tired looking performances which together make it tough to get anything at this level. Bad dismissal in terms of killing the rest of the game, wearing out players for 10 minutes added on time (where did that come from?) and not being available for three games starting the last 10 run in. It was a horrible challenge, but it looked fast and clumsy rather than any bad intention, a Man Utd player would probably have got a yellow. Nevertheless it was stupid to give the ref a decision to make, very poor judgement from a team captain. At least there is not much time to dwell on this with the potential for an unforgettably brilliant night on Thursday before the next league match. UTV

It’s always been the same with them, right back to the eighties in my memory. Presumably they were known to be away fans because they made it obvious. Most supporters of away teams in the home stands, watch the game and shut up, but not this lot and it’s not restricted to Villa Park.

Didn’t deserve to lose that. Sky got the result they wanted. Fail to comprehend how the same offence results in a yellow for us and nothing for them. They even wasted two minutes of injury time with subs and he added on 30 seconds. If it’s an even playing field, I would still back us over them to finish higher. Their defence is garbage. We just need Konsa and Torres back quickly!

Channel Islands, managed to get over 3 times so far this season.

It might make a noticeable difference as the dB scale is non linear. For every increase of 3dB, the noise level doubles and vice versa.

Bottlers, story of our season. Pathetic coverage from Sky, cutting away to a meaningless Spurs goal while we scored the second. Three strong substitutions helped them out, never mind, they will be able to make five next year.

The VAR was a joke, is he offside? No. Anything else can we look at? Did Watkins touch the ball? No. Anything else? Did Ings handball it? No Anything else? A block? That looks questionable. A technology that is not being used in every tie of this competition for errors that are Clear and Obvious, I despair. Otherwise happy with the performance and hope we do them on Saturday. One other negative is that they hardly created most of their own chances, they just waited for our midfield to give the ball away needlessly and counter attacked us.

A reminder that only goals matter in football, have as much possession as you like but if you can’t create much in the final third it counts for nothing. Don’t usually single out players but Traore was wasteful and as much as I love Trezeguet that dive was embarassing. Expect Gerrard to rip into them after this.

Indeed, turnarounds of that magnitude do a lot of damage. The draw with Stoke when 2-0 up under O’Neill did a fair amount, but the reversal when 2 up at Leicester was significant that season. We went down (I know there were many other factors too), they won the League. That Wolves game could be season defining.

Smith need not worry about playing 3 at the back again, it will become unsustainable with all the bookings we pick up. Hourihane got subbed in the first half when Jokanovic saw his formation was wrong on Tuesday, Dean should have also been as brave and made a change before half-time His subs were correct though. Referee set the tone for his abysmal performance and licence for Arsenal to play the way they did by booking Watkins in the first minute for simply giving as good as he got. Sky commentator was appalling, another clown that means the mute button gets hit next time. Arsenal ‘supporters’ treatment of Martinez was extremely classless.

villalad21 worked that out easy enough, I’m sure you can too.

Which is why I wrote tie, not game.

Next week Chelsea will more than likely take a full first team into a Champions League fixture. We don’t have a fixture.
