Got to get Hall on HT. Have no-one in defence to take ball on and progress it without need to launch it long.

We’ll make changes at HT. Proper pathetic at how bad we are with the ball against a fuking league one side.

Some assist by Osula

That didn’t look in

Burn pace

I’ve missed Pope kicking, NOT.

How is Stanisfield getting that from a goal kick

LOL Sack these back up players off. They’re shit.

Greek guy injured? Or do we favour Ruddy in case both GKs get injured?

Got my wish

Isidor looks shit in front of goal. Why do Sunderland fans big him up?

Burn start then.

Pope: Tino, Krafth, Botman, Targett: Longstaff, Bruno, Miley: Willock, Wilson, Osula That’s what I want to see, as much rested as possible. Side can shift into a more narrow 4-4-2 or in it’s normal 4-3-3 with Osula coming in from RW. Tonali, Burn, Tripp & Gordon on in 2nd half if still level to ensure ET is avoided.

Man Utd are such a bad side under Amorim. Hope they really double down on him in the summer because there’s no positive signs at all to him.

Malen excluded from Villa UCL squad. Good start giving the nod to short term signings Asensio / Rashford over him. Great buy.

Let’s hope they get PSG in UCL, so it’s more of a challenging game midweek for them before league cup final. Hardest final we can get, so will need luck. That’s having all of our players fit, them missing a few and then in the game. Shame they can’t be in same situation as last years final.

The only thing I don't like about last time for the Period 6/7, I can never make midweek games, so no point going for Carabao cup tickets, but I do for weekend games. Which I would like to have a chance of a ticket (even if very remote) by not being punished for being unable to attend midweek games.

Train down and watch it in a pub in London, as I doubt I'll get tickets but still want to be in / around the atmosphere.

Full rotation. This will be a proper iffy game and I wouldn’t be shocked if we went out. Be tough to take, but if we want UCL, it would be a blessing because I don’t think our squad can cope with another domestic cup run (where games could be harder) and league run too. After a run of Man City / Forest / Liverpool, it would give us a rest midweek and mean we only then have West Ham before league cup final. Having that run, then say a top 6 side at home next round where we’ll be obliged to give it a go, is too much for us currently I feel.

Do think this should and will be Miley breakout moment when he stakes a legit claim for LCM spot. Think it’s easily forgotten how good he was last season, for what he came into and produced, in biggest games. If he was a top 6 media club, the narrative would’ve been in overdrive.

How long does the yellow card thing carry for? Because would it be worthwhile playing him for final minute of one of games to get a yellow card so he’s then clear of it for his return?

His performance reminded me of like Casemiro / Varane in the final we lost. Players whose legs have gone, playing poorly, but when it comes to those massive one off games, the experience overrides all those deficiencies. Think if we get Liverpool in final, we will set up and play like we did tonight. If it’s Spurs, it’ll be usual 4-3-3.

Train ticket booked

LETS BE FUCKING HAVING YS

Schar can shag my Mrs!
