I don't believe that Manning has the pace and positional awareness to man-mark a player with the speed and skill of Diallo.
Taylor doesn't feature regularly enough and at 30, probably doesn't have the pace, but perhaps has experience on his side.
Larios may be the answer if anyone has even seen him this season !!
KWP was the probably the lesser of all the evils and him playing on the left at least allowed us to shoehorn 3 right backs into our starting XI.
The trouble is, even if we had stopped Diallo, United on paper at least, have plenty of other players who could have done something similar. We should have killed the game off in the 1st half. |

Skates won't have made it back to the Prem by then either.
15 years and counting already. |

Smallbone has (thankfully) only featured in 3 league games this season, 2 of those as sub, 1 of which was last night. I think the rest of the time he has been injured. Juric was therefore giving him a chance to impress, bringing him on to sure up the midfield and hold out for the win.
Shame he didn't use his Swansea FA Cup appearance as a template of what to expect. Slow, poor passing, offered little, gifted Swans a great chance.
Goals change games. Last night we failed to take our excellently created chances in the first half (Sula x 2, Dibs x 2, Fernandes x2), failed to go further ahead in the 2nd half (Sula), then conceded and we all knew what was going to happen after that. THB put the icing on the cake for the Man U diver.
The positives were that we played very well for an hour at Old Trafford (but ok, who doesn't these days) and created some great chances, oh and scored our first goal from a corner this season !! |

Incredibly lazy player with a bad attitude.
He has been dining off that end of season Liverpool performance for 20 months now !!
Failed to score in the Championship last season and only mustered a few assists (Leeds x 2, Blackburn x 1 from memory) in what was an injury prone and very poor season for him.
Has done nothing with his opportunities to impress this season in the Prem, so a decent performance (goal and assist) against a mid-table Champ side shows only a small sign of improvement in my book. |

Yes
I said this elsewhere, that both clubs have to agree on the price, so it won't necessarily all be down to Saints.
Also some clubs (Chelsea for example) charge a £2 booking fee for each ticket - so hopefully we don't follow suit next season !! |

Technically it is £9 because of the booking fee |

I know local bragging rites were at stake, but it really didn't matter. We went up and they went down - and have only this season managed to get back to where they were back then. |

To be fair, a couple of the blocked shots looked to be on target, but because they are blocked, they go into the the blocked shots section.
Still, to only have 1 (blocked) shot for the whole of the 2nd half as we go into injury time, is absolutely pathetic. We created more away to City FFS.
We are too scared to shoot or cross for fear of giving the ball away. Ridiculous and totally unacceptable. This isn't even fighting for our lives. Villa aren't great but we are worse and so frustrating.
Cue..... How brave we were against a top side etc etc |

RM said that Taul Paul and indeed Bednarek should both be in the squad for Villa.
We will also have THB, Downes and Dibling back.
I really hope Rambo is back too. I have no faith in our other keepers. |

WAC
Captain setting the wrong example once again.
I really don't know what he was thinking and how he thought he would get away with it.
Absolutely pathetic. It's bad enough playing a team like Chelsea with a depleted squad, but to give them an unnecessary man advantage is totally unacceptable.
He has let himself, his team mates, his manager, his club and it's fans down and simply cannot continue as Captain.
Then on top of that, there is his 3 match ban to kick in when we are in the middle of a injury and indeed a defensive crisis. |

Do we really expect to get a positive result with Lumley, Manning and Stephens in the same starting XI ? |

Haven't you already paid for the match via your Season Tickets ? You and Kids ?
If so, then surely boycotting the Cup game is the better option, as you have to pay extra for tickets.
The bad weather will be blamed on any no shows v Liverpool. |
