Villa put out a full team……. Twice as good as Leeds! I fear if we concede early

I like it. A bit of first team, a bit of youth.

We'll lose but nice team selection - nearly at the stadium.

Watkins and Rashford playing for Villa :lol:

I honestly think Riza is throwing us under the bus here. He needs to wake up and respect our 6000 supporters and the fact this is the last 16!

Defence could be a problem. I was hoping emri picked a second string side.
I just hope Rambo stays fit, perhaps bring him off after 60 mins

Goutas? Was it only one game ban?

Cannot understand how we have not put full out team we are not playing until tuesday would rather us give it a go if its an onslaught we can then change it up but to late if we are chasing the game.

Looking at their team it wouldn't matter who we put out I wouldn't fancy our chances.... really need to protect players for championship... its a no win situation for riza put out 1st team lose one or two to injury for Tues and it will be why did we play them? So let's forget team selection and support the team

I disagree
6,000 fans want us to give it a go and our best shot.

Yes agree monty but i think riza wasn't expecting this villa team considering premier league clubs never put out full squad! Team will give it a go but still stands 1st team would struggle to make any progess in this game but if we lose 2 or 3 players for burnley then it will be shouldn't have played them...

Our issue is no pace in the team going forward.

Colwill as a central midfielder…..

Agreed that's a very strong villa team and a lot stronger than most of us anticipated

It's the fact they can't see anything positive like being in 5th round first time 11yrs ... rather concentrate on why didn't play strongest team 3 days after last game !

Mate, it’s usually the same posters, not happy until they’re moaning.

If Salech, Mannsverk, etc got injured they’d moan that Riza is starting them.

Yes and what's annoying is all teams play mixture of squad players city no different..

Watching the half time discussions & everyone is wondering why we didn't get a penalty & why it wasn't reviewed by VAR & given even if the ref missed it at first.
