Villa not much better.

I feel a bit for Traore. Boro's plan is pretty much get the ball to him, So Villa can just focus on getting numbers around him. He actually carries the ball really well at speed and can draw out space for other players but Boro aren't set up to exploit that at all. His end product is obviously erratic but in a decent team I think he would be fairly useful.

Boro are once again utterly terrible. How did Adama cause us so much trouble where we spent half the game hacking him down ?

When he's on, he's ridiculous. Consistency is the only reason he's not at a higher level.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Two utterly fucking shit teams.

Pulis bawling away on the touchline, it's your tactics that have made them more impotent than a eunuch, mate.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Boro just get to the edge of the area and give it away. Literally no idea what to do.

 

[Banjo]

Best chance of the game there. Villa should've scored.

Yep. They had the ball for about 5 or 6 mins and then just abandoned possession.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Snodgrass really is a horrible gigantic headed prick.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I would expect Fulham to beat either of these teams comfortably, but of course anything can happen in a one off game at Wembley.

 

[Langers]

Why can't both these sides lose?

 

[YoungWolf]

Snodgrass really is a horrible gigantic headed prick.

So overrated as well.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

A good chance for Villa.

 

[playtheace]

Boro play so much better with Bamford on the pitch.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Why can't both these sides lose?

You just know that whoever wins will justify it with "well, we got the job done". Didn't need to play like that though, did you? It must be such a chore watching either of these every week.

Actually I know it is in the case of Villa, Sky have given me that "privilege" this season.

 

[YoungWolf]

A good chance for Villa.

They should have finished this by now. As bad as they have been Boro have been worse. Hopefully they get punished for it

 

[PuntsWolf]

2 hours of Assombalonga in this tie and he’s been woeful. Shit touch, no pace, no strength, no aerial threat

 

[YoungWolf]

Is Bamford not fit or something? I can't understand why he has gone back to playing Assombalonga up front? His injuries have impacted his play a lot but even at his fittest he couldn't play on his own up front.

That was quite good play by him for once to be fair!

Stupidly overweight as well. You're basically just hoping he gets a chance in the box and sticks it away, and he isn't even reliable at that.

 

[YoungWolf]

Hutton on a booking now, could make it slightly more interesting.

 

[James]

How Assombalonga is worth £15m I’ll never know

 

[Langers]

Looking forward to an entertaining goal-laden 2nd half....
