He's right though. All we did was tippy tappy around the box. They had the better chances by far. We are **** shit. 

Ok, Emery takes the blame as well then.

He’s thrown away both cups with team selections. Bailey is absolutely terrible. 

That team had more than enough to win tonight, or should have. It's a mentally weak squad that needs cutting through with a **** scythe. Cowards and wasters.

Gud ebening.....I have come here to win a cup....but not this year has I've f****d up twice by playing shit teams.... especially the team today

How is the managers perfomance very poor, did you want Unai playing centre half

Team selection, bailey being on the pitch for 90 minutes. 

[Vive_La_Villa]

The team was more than strong enough to win comfortably today. Manager has to take some blame in a defeat but the players trying to get a place in the team have really let themselves down.

[MCU]

They looked complacent from the off. They think because they were playing a L2 side it was going to be an easy ride. Truly awful and fully deserved. I hope they get the biggest kick up the arse and give Leeds a hiding after that. 

[MWARLEY2]

Manager gets 0/10. All players 1/10

Weakened team in the Carabao, weakened team in the FA Cup. Utter shit Unai. 

I said it yesterday.  Stevenage are used to winning. It becomes a habit 

7 years in a row out in the 3rd round. Utter bollox. 

[KentVillan]

Can’t just be going through the motions at 1-0 like that against a motivated side.

Felt like a pre season friendly. No surprise the goal came from sloppy, casual play. The pass by Olsen was fine IMO, just terrible from Dendoncker.

Bailey had a mare, he’s got confidence issues. Feel like that miss against Wolves has really got to him.

Sanson the only real glimmer of hope, but I mean it was League Two opposition so who knows.

Luiz and Coutinho played ok. Augustinsson looked ok, seemed like a nasty injury though, imagine he’ll be out for a while.

All in all a shit day, and Emery can’t be churning out performances like that on a regular basis.

[Lerner's Driver]

ONLY Aston Villa could produce that performance. Aston Villa, the hard bleeding anal gimp of the Premier League. Please **** us brutally in the arse publicly and make it hurt. My girlfriend said why are you laughing and I said because it is classic Villa. I am laughing at how utterly **** pathetic the team I support is. **** off Villa. And to the people saying it doesn't matter, it does. We lost to Steven.

This one is on him, should have taken this a bit more serious 

Literally any team we put out should be wiping the floor with a League Two side.

Im not that bothered anyway, we weren’t going to win it so may as well go out now.

There’s nothing wrong with using the squad, the players just weren’t up for it.

On paper maybe, we shouldn’t have taken any chances. Same with United in the last cup game

[fightoffyour]

It's not worse than losing to Bradford over 2 legs in a semi final but that's the most positive thing I can say

No it isnt lol! 

How can he help Dendoncker's blunder and Olsen's terrible organization and awareness. 

Keeping Bailey on for the full game wasn't a good call I'm afraid. Wasted so much in final third with chronic decision making.

I think Demi said in match thread Ings and Watkins should've had half hour as a pair, think that would've been a decent call but didn't happen.

Even if we'd hung on for 1-0 we didn't play well at all today. A replay was least Stevenage deserved.

Yes it should but you always risk  bad results when you don't pick your strongest team.

We are  not in Europe. We are in a mid table no man's land in the league.

There was no reason not playing our strongest XI

Listen, the team that was picked should have no problem in beating a team like Stevenage. That second goal was laughable from a defensive point of view. 

[Villan_of_oz]

I don't like the over the top slagging off of our players but not really sure how you can defend that result!

 

Lets just hope it is not a Leicester or Wolves after affect

I am 36 years old and this is, quite literally, the most embarrassing moment of my Villa supporting life. I don’t even remember being this humiliated when we got relegated.

Who else would you play right wing? We have no wingers.

[VillaParkAvenue]

Everyone out, from Infantino down to the grassroots.
