Absolutely Awful today i thought, looked so weak and kept losing the ball, i sometime feel like he need players that complement him like Tonali and Big Joe to really shine, as he's not physical enough to force himself on a game like this.

He's been really good for us since he signed, but today he looked all over the place, could be just lack of match practice as he hadn't played in quite a while.

That was one of the most unprofessional half of football that I've seen us play, and like mentioned above we've had a few of them this season, they say the second half is the manager's half eh? He needs to study what's happening, it's not a lack of quality players or bench that is the problem.

What a fucking star.

At first i was hoping for a draw but seeing that Chelsea's next two games are easy wins and Villa have a few tough games coming up means it's actually a good result for us, must win tomorrow though.

We are literally playing a final next month but that's the spirit.

Even if he is back will Eddie drop Burn for him?

This one is on Howe, he got too excited with his performance in a 5 and decided to start him, hopefully lesson learned.

Didn't think he was too bad but the midfield balance was so off even Bruno and Tonali looked shit first half.

Learn from this for the final please.

Bad bad decison by Howe to start him.

The lines are so subjective since they can draw them anywhere. Great game however.

Wiki say he's a right winger?

A home tie is good news, time to pay them back for the defeat earlier in the year.

I agree with this, he seems like he's not sure he belong there even though he's played and scored in the Champions League last year, just wants to try and do the basics and be safe rather than stamp his authority and show he's a high level player. Its a bit strange though as i remember watching his first few games with us and he was outstanding, and at times he was a key player for the team, its definitely a mental issue rather than a physical or technical one.

I think it will be tough but the best we can hope for is an easy home tie and some of the other premier league clubs to face each other. We will get Man City away.

If i was the coaches all i'll do with him is work on his crossing and shooting, don't know how much you can coach decision making in the final third but everything else he seems just fine..

I was thinking at half time this is much more of a Tonali game than a Bruno game, had feeling Eddie planned to do the half each thing as he's done it in the cup earlier this season too.

Looked slow in the start but did quite well rest of the game, this will do him a lot of good and honestly i much prefer seeing him at left back than Kelly.

Not a game you'd want to play after being out for a while but that was a very professional performance from him.

I must say i liked his performance, he played a big part in creating the first "goal" and then showed some great instincts and athleticism to score the second, glad he got through alright.

Loved that performance, i remember when we first signed him i was questioning why we signed a player who had not scored a single goal in a considerable number of appearances for Sheffield United, but he's such a handful physically and seems quite decent technically as well, give him time to develop properly and we can have some player on our hands.

Why is he playing like he's exhausted from the start when he's hardly featured lately, really worrying to see him so poor against a lower league opposition again, Willock and Miley looked miles ahead of him.

Now that's the Joe Willock we all know, so glad he stepped up today and proved his value for the team

Fuck me that was a proper cup tie, well done to the lads to get the win.
