Ref in a big atmosphere thinks he's got to play up to it. Exactly the opposite of what a referee should do.

Bizzare couldn't they just win it after dropping into it from Champions League 

You really don't know much, do you?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS

Get him in the book ffs

Calamitous play there

If that shot was half an inch further inside the post then this stadium would be on the turn. 

Emi = monster

No **** at. Unlucky Ollie!

That ref has the look of a silent movie star.

He, Trossard and Zinchenko could be extras in Shaun of the Dead.  

Credit to the ref there. 

Zaniolo looks in pain

Got to be a booking for White there

What a waste

We look competitive at least.

 

If you don't read this in Emery's accent then you're not a Villa fan

I love Konsa but he offers next to nothing at right back. The opposition know they can just focus on Diaby/Bailey. Looking forward to Cash being back to full fitness. 

Edit: speaking in terms of his offensive contribution, although both Brentford and now Arsenal are looking to exploit his side of the pitch. 

Get up Zaniolo ffs. Another player who looks big but lacks balance and the physicality to match his frame. 

We should have some chances from these long throws and corners too if we get any.  Hope Austin has been busy!

Still don't think Zaniolo is up to it. 

Hope we can keep things tight because we have the players to take chances.

We are all frustrated by the goal but a vocal minority love to just spread the hyperbole - I really don’t get it 

Well done - you're just such a Unai fanboy that you don't see we're going to get relegated now and the club's going bust.

Surprised Luiz isnt getting more stick for their goal 

Let his man go, Diego should do better but at least he does something which is more than Luiz 

Dougie is a great player but he's been poor (by his standards) for a few weeks now imo.

Come on, you can not pin this one on Zaniolo 

Agreed, but he is shit.

Deserved to be honest. No leaders at the back. We’ve ridden our luck all **** season, especially in this cup. Disgrace. 

We're winning. 

Zaniolo is not good enough.

On an unrelated note, awful goal to concede. 

A further unrelated note, **** you Liverpool.
