    Not that it matters but why did Diop get a red card for that  challenge at the end? Thought if a penalty given there’s no red card too under the new double jeopardy thing, and it was a genuine attempt to tackle/block the shot.

    It was a yellow, making it his second.

    Even though he is tactically limited, think GS will at least do a good job in cleaning the culture, setting the right environment in place for the next manager.

    Easier to do with England because you're not stuck with poisonous players, whereas at club level if you can't sell them they hang around.

    However, you might say, far fewer of their players have been unavailable. They are not exactly injury-free, however, which is hardly surprising after 53 games in all competitions so far. Buendia, an ever-present midfielder in the Premier League in 2022-23, has not appeared at all after rupturing his ACL in pre-season training.

    Not sure the hate towards him, Villa fans are obviously not his target audience

    He has been one of the few praising us when he can this season considering some people get angry the media never talk about us

    I actually don't dislike him and enjoy listening to him. I don't watch his Man United stuff, but I watch some of his other views and he's actually really good

    Today's performance wasn't just about being tired, Emery had them playing in a certain way to try and conserve energy with Thursday in mind, which happens to be a massive game for the club, it's what we've been doing for a while when we have Thursday and weekend matches, we didn't manage to get a result today whilst doing it, but if it means we manage to turn the semi-final around then frankly it will have been worth it.

    Bang on.

    I would have put money on a Villa win. Said in the week, we just seem to have there number, they find it hard to win past our system.

    Unfortunately the system didn't work today.

    Even if we had 3/4 players back from injury we would have won

    I don't know. Easy with hindsight. Our injuries have been so ridiculous. 

    I know all teams get and have had injuries, but the number of long term whole season injuries to key players has been just unbelievable. 

    Yeah we have been super unlucky with injuries, nobody could have seen how many players we would lose.
