Villa away in the cup

What do we think? Could have been better, could have been a lot worse.

According to the league table it couldn't have been very much worse.

 

[Trapsix]

Hopefully our game will have picked up by then....we always play better against top teams...with a bit of luck arsenal will be more interested in top 4 position in league!!

 

[Guntrisoft]

Will probably be played on the 30th October I reckon, as we only play Spurs on the Sunday before!

My thinking was, we will play our strongest team, villa being in champions league and wanting to stay in the mix as a top 4 team will likely rest players.

By worse I meant… City, Arsenal, Liverpool and 2 teams we never beat in spurs and Chelsea.

Overall, a strong set of teams left in the cup. As said Villa will be playing on multiple levels, with this fixture the least attractive.

They allow teams to play and don't often press, which can suit our style of play. Never easy but definitely winnable.

Overall a good cup draw that with the 'top' teams away from home (and playing second strings) should make the quarter finals pretty open . Getting there though will be a tough ask .

Tough draw the only thing in our favour is that Villa may focus more on Europe.

COYP

Echo the sentiments about Villa and Europe. Lets hope thats true, and we can pick up the winner of Saints/Stoke after 🙂

 

[BromleyMonkey]

At least we can concentrate on the league after that 😀

The last couple of draws haven’t done the lower divisions any favours, looking like an all PL last eight.

Yes, you might well be right Den. Hope so anyway. The difference between your nuanced as opposed to my own myopic view!

Assuming no more injuries, we may have Chalobah, Franca and Doucoure available and fully match fit by then.

Possible...

If you want to win the cup you gotta be at the best 😃

Last 4 will be the usual anyway...

Citeh, Liverpool, Arses and Palace?

Citeh, Liverpool, Arses and Palace?

The Core Four. Unless Arses and Palace are one entity?

I disagree, Brighton won’t get there 😇😁
