Well that was nerve wracking .

I'm stress eating pistachios like a crazy person.

So far it's working, but playing another 45 like this is leaving it too much to chance for my liking.

 

What do you do when you pick up one of those unopened ones? Look down and risk missing Downing’s goal?! 

Can Robert tie a lace or does he really need all of this practice?

May as well replace Lewis Grabban with Mike Dean, who has attracted more passes from Villa players.

Snoddy ‘Lacegate’ continues.

Can nobody slide the ball to Grabban so he can run at Fry?!

Villa are nowhere near as fluent as Fulham. Bruce will need a tactical master plan if we reach the final, more likely to involve Thor than Jedi.

Hope Snoddy losing his laces is only as minor as when Andy Townsend floundered about with a contact lens.

Wouldn't surprise me if Adama switched to the left to attack bree

Have you forgotten Saturday’s match already? Hutton sticks to Adama.

Fry is 20 and has made 9 appearances this season. Grabban needs to torment him. Bree’s stats are similar and Downing has never knowingly tormented anyone at Villa Park.

Villa never do straightforward semi-finals. 6-4 v Blackburn in 2010: I was there, but not sure I could take anything that tumultuous tonight. A nice easy 2-0 would be pleasant.

Everyone agree that Sam’s puffy eyes betray how knackered he must be, after staying up nights, waiting for his lady to give birth?

I daresay those miserable whingers at work who support Chelsea and have zero interest in Villa will now recall my words of earlier today: “It should be illegal for Huddersfield Town to be in the Premier League instead of Aston Villa.” 

Terrific entertainment, though. 11 goals in the Champions League semi final and still 40 mins for Roma to score 3 more and bring extra time.

0-2 (Cascarino, Sheringham)

It is simply a case of which manager would outfox Bruce most on tactics over 2 legs: Rowett or Pulis. As regards Millwall, Aston Villa teams over decades have a track record of going to pieces once they cross the River Thames.

May as well switch to 18/19 Promotion Charge. August’s opening match: Steer-Elmo, Terry, Samba, Taylor-Albrighton, Bjarnason, Hourihane, Adomah-O’Hare-Grabban Subs: Siegriest, Hepburn-Murphy, Suliman, Lansbury, 3 loanees or academies. Stoke 3 (Shawcross, Crouch 2) Villa 1 (Loanee, possibly Solanke)

Paul Lambert has proved to be useless for Stoke, but facing them and Southampton and Baggies next season with reduced finances reminds us yet again how desperately Villa need to win the Play-Off lottery.

Snodgrass had a poor game by his own high standards but you can't fault his desire and application. 

 

 

He is knackered. 3 games in 6 days. All on TV. Anyone would be. Not a reason to slate him at all.

Asking why that happened. Bruce has his famous 4/4 promotions and Villa are out of automatic. So, is Bruce now having a pre-season for the play-offs? Could be canny.

Shockingly inept second half performance almost asks Leeds to equalise.

Come on Villa, starting to get a few touches again now at least

Why do the coaches only teach the individuals and not the system? Bruce’s teams have zero consistent patterns of play. Interchangeable players are essential in these long EFL seasons.

Leeds bring on Keinan-like target man. Watch out, Jedi.

WTF DID BRUCE SAY AT HALF TIME? Wake up, Villa.

Think we need to get Adomah on for Snodders and Lansbury or Conor on for Onomah

Yes. Snodgrass looks ready for his bed.
