Fair play to Salech he just demolished 2 villa defenders
Villa are soft.
Thankfully they've hit a bit of a sticky patch of late.Originally Posted by Tuerto
Saying that, the Champions League side everyone was crowing about a matter of weeks ago should be dealing with a struggling Championship side.
Credit to Riza and his team IMHO (this far).
A quarter of the game left mind you.
Edit:
Gutting. Can we get one chance?
It doesnt seem likely really, does it?
Always going to be a tough ask this. Such a massive gulf in class, budgets, etc. good experience for the young players in the team.
Could end up 3 or 4 now, but after tonights over all performance, the whole squad should take positives and realise they definately have enough to stave off relegation.
Thank you, kind sir!
Terrific game for the neutrals this.
Ah well.
We didnt embarrass ourselves and there were some positives.
Difficult on really, if we had come out to play then it could have been 5 or 6, as it stands, we didn't create anything of note but kept the score down. Villa looked like they knew that we couldn't hurt them, and we couldn't. Well done to the young kid on the left of defence, stuck at it.
Not a bad performance. We showed them a little too much respect though. Colwill was our best player. Horvath made some top saves. Young lads did well from the start. Positives!
Was absolutely a penalty on ng in first half. Even keane and Wright said it was.
We'd have lost anyway but still......
Better than expected IMO.
It was one of those games that if you do a high press it leaves gaps at the back.
It was a cup game just go for it we might have had a chance.
Well done the City.
What?!!!
Did you actually SEE Villa vs Liverpool or Newcastle vs Liverpool? Games with both teams attacking each other - they were very entertaining for anyone watching.
I dont think that one neutral would have enjoyed nearly 90 mins of attack against defence tonight. People want to see a contest and be entertained..
Ummm where's the whoosh smiley again?
Joking aside as cardiff fans and knowing where we are in the league, knowing how badly we've been beaten by teams in our own league recently, knowing the injuries, knowing the games coming up- we can't be annoyed at that.
Shame it did feel was just a case of getting the game out the way more than anything but we move on
I think theyd have enjoyed it, its a cup game, and the underdog made it a game for 67 minutes.
Colwills best game for us, he was outstanding. I dont know why Riza didnt bring Ashford and Davies on earlier. Thought Giles was a bit sloppy in possession but on the whole, he did well and Lawlor should be proud of himself too. Lot of positives.
Would have liked to have seen davies and Ashford on for el ghazi and willock at 1 0.
Stone wall pelanty Father, no question about it. Very well played down by the production team, a replay wasn't even shown during the game, it was only after the break at half time that they showed it.
Lee Dixon, the latest in a long line of English support commentators to "toe the line" gave us no credit from the off, except the patronising stuff when he knew the game was won.
Okay we weren't very adventurous but what did they expect from a struggling championship team, 4-2-4
Anyhow eck em, bigger fish to fry and good experience for some kids.
I think Riza got it just about right.
Or even when it was still 0-0. In fairness Willock worked hard first half but El Ghazi didnt do much in his cup final.
Seen quite a few neutral quotes on the bbc and other sites saying they couldnt understand why we didnt try to win the game and just waited to get beat. Its a shame we didnt give it more of a go in attacking terms but I think we could have ended up conceding a lot more if we did
Colwill was brilliant. I'd never considered him in this position before. It could be his future. Ramsey was excellent and showed what an important player he could be between now and the end of the season. Fish was impressive and I really like Salech. The disappointments were Willock and El Ghazi, they have been this moderate all season despite there undoubted ability. It could have been a different story if we had have signed two more effective wide players.

Agreed ... certainly has the ability to keep the ball in tight situations and move past opponents with ease.
He needs to work on the end product. Playing in a better team will help him flourish.
