Talldarkandransome Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 1 minute ago, VillaChris said: Extra time is the main thing considering both will be back out in midweek so don't think walking to a penalty spot after five minutes of lying on a turf will impact too much. Brighton will be playing every single midweek in May against mostly high quality opposition. Looking at their bench and it's as weak as ours currently so not like they can rotate too much so I have a feeling they'll be dropping points in more games than people are assuming. Our game v them could be the biggest at Villa Park in quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Rashford spent more time on the deck than Fernandes in this which is some achievement. Looked a foul though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my understanding anyways. No difference really between finishing 7th and 6th for them if they get to the final. It doesn't work that way any more. Only the winners get a European place, otherwise it goes to the league. We want City to win the Cup to add an extra european place to the league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Somewhere Graham Potter will be giving a standing ovation to that, Brighton giving the literal definition of trying to walk the ball into the net there. Mitoma could've easily been sent off as pretty reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 To be fair Man U have done well to nullify this Brighton side, they rarely don't score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
