FA Youth Cup Aston Villa (A) 15.00 05/05/25 Live Emirates FA Cup YouTube Channel Match Thread.

Big contrast in styles here. Villa playing very well, defensive, well drilled and quick on the break. But City have had plenty of chances - but just lacking the right touch - and should be in front.

The club needs to look at the way we play. Completely boring to watch - backwards, sideways, sideways, backwards. Men's team, women's, youth.

44 minutes and the keeper and defenders just happy to pass it around on the edge of our own box 2-1 down. Really bizarre

Exactly - imagine how many trophies we could have won over the last few years if we played in a different way.

It's served us well for a decade but you're right it needs mixing up a bit as teams have started to work it out

And this season has shown teams know how to play against this way of playing.

Do you honestly think we can play like this forever and teams won't know what to do?

Good first half from City, we are not out of this final at all and will get chances in the 2nd half that we need to take
Villa are good on the break and pretty much set up to play that way, as most teams facing City

Yes, we've played this way for a good few years now but it never used to be this slow and ponderous. There always seemed to be more purpose to our possession, now it feels like we are just waiting for someone else to take the initiative.
Having said that if it wasn't for poor finishing we would be ahead.
 
Look a well drilled technically proficient team. Don't see much threat though and look open to a counter. Copying the first team approach too much perhaps?

You can't honestly believe that teams have only just worked out this season "how to play against us" and that's the reason for our drop off? We're they just not thinking about it in the previous 10 seasons or so?
