Also thank god that "2 UCL winners in the championship" will now stop, embarrassing how they tried to put Di Matteo on the same level as Rafa

Hope its McClaren. Would be perfect.

Someone else will then claim he's only a youngster despite being in his mid 20's

The fact is. Even if they do perform under a new manager. That 20 point gap between us last year hasn't been closed in the slightest in terms of quality.

Was awful yesterday. In both directions.

Basically, the biggest difference between us and Villa is Benitez is a genius and Di Matteo is a moron and we have someone who can pick a pass the way Shelvey does and they don't

What?

Villa have nowt in midfield.

Loved that touch layoff to Gouff early in the second half.

Two really bad teams there though.

Shelvey needs a blinder if we're going to win this.

That Rondon will be relishing playing that lump they bought from Chelsea.

I'd rather he not be rested in that game because I want us to make the quarter finals

He's better than any defender Villa have got by the looks of it though. Mugged them off.

On his way out I reckon. Think if he stays Tiote will get ahead of him.

It's his lack of any agility meaning he can't really change direction.

The groaning at every mistake is annoying.

Have we got anything to suggest Atsu is lazy and wouldn't do his work defensively?

They'll factor in how many free tickets given away into official attendance, not how many actually turn up, I bet

43'000 sounds shite. Even if their ground is slightly smaller.

All Maggie Bryne's fault and the rest of the club is classy and well run iirc.

Wait, the mackems had 19 from 26, then lost all their last 12?

He'll be back in Saturday.

We've looked solid enough with Shelvey and Hayden. Nights like tonight prove Colback is the big issue defensively.

Get him with Mitrovic rather than Diame, who's holding us back.
