Every time I’ve watched Villa this season they’ve seemed pretty average but keep finding a way of winning. Got to respect it I suppose!

Most frustrating game of the season. We would be level with fourth if we had won that

I always disagreed with people that said we have a lack of a squad. With the injuries last year we were always going to struggle with the quality on the bench. But when we have a normal amount of injuries we have plenty of strength in depth. Look at the benches for Arsenal and Man City at times, as soon as they have a few players out there are a lot of unknown kids on their benches

My main issue with Joelinton is his lack of ability (at times) on the ball in the centre of midfield so the LW/occasional CM/ocassional LWB role suits him so much. Means we get all the qualities of Joelinton without that nervousness of him being a little careless on the ball in dangerous places. Thought he was fantastic today and it was great to see a return to what we did so well two seasons ago!

Fantastic performance. His pass out to Gordon for the goal may look simple but it was perfect and had to be to enable Gordon to put in the perfect cross. Perfect weight on the pass and no bobble at all! I criticise him a lot but buzzing for him and hopefully he can keep it up, defensive work was sensational

Hall as well for me

Newcastle 1-1 Arsenal Bournemouth 1-2 Man City Ipswich 1-1 Leicester Liverpool 2-0 Brighton Forest 2-1 West Ham Southampton 0-1 Everton Wolves 2-0 Palace Spurs 2-2 Villa Man United 2-2 Chelsea Fulham 1-0 Brentford

Take that, what a chance to get to a semi again

I want something easier (Southampton, Palace or Brentford) but would take anyone at home to be honest. Liverpool at home wouldn’t be bad, they’re resting a lot and it gives us chance to knock them out instead of getting them over two legs or at Wembley when they would be at full strength

To be fair I change my mind every week

Joelinton - Isak - Gordon Willock - Tonali - Bruno

Tonali should play in the centre going forward with Bruno to the side. We need Bruno to be free and Tonali looks so much better in the middle

Nice to see Osula having a go at Tino there, not shy. He is going to be a great player I think

Fuck me Big Willy

Would love to see Osula and Isak up top together when needed for longer than a few minutes

Why the fuck is Burn on?

Not sure on Kelly but that pace then to get back was brilliant, hopefully he starts to settle because we need more pace at the back

I am back on, just kept trying to go off and on again and it finally worked for anyone else struggling

No

Pay a fortune for this shit! Just read to turn the whole box off and turn it back on again, trying it now

Sky sports plus down for anyone else?

Leicester 1-1 Forest Villa 2-0 Bournemouth Brentford 3-1 Ipswich Brighton 2-0 Wolves Man City 6-0 Southampton Everton 1-0 Fulham Chelsea 3-1 Newcastle Palace 1-2 Spurs West Ham 2-0 Man United Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool

No need to be rude, it is just opinions. I rate Joelinton very highly but would like to see how the above midfield would work. Also more than happy to see how Joelinton - Tonali - Bruno would work. Also, for me, we lost a lot because we took Tonali off when he was, in my opinion, our best player.

I think Tonali looked decent playing deepest. Maybe we could have Tonali central and release Bruno further forward. Would like to see a midfield three of Willock - Tonali - Bruno at some point.
