How do Man City do it with these easy draws? Something dodgy going on.

Villas not the worst draw though, take that.

City defo paying the FA for easy draws.

Just seen the draw, I'm happy with that tbh, are the semi finals drawn too?

Klopp said we'll forfeit the next round if the draw isn't done on a favourable day

He really hates the league cup.

I thought Brewster was good personally - his finishing was a little off but he was lively the entire game and scored a nice penalty.

Also, you can tell he's super annoying to play against, he uses his body so well for free headers and the like - led to at least one yellow for Arsenal yesterday. Also he was in the right position to score if Mustafi didn't get that own goal.

Reckon he needs a goal to kick-on which is what Solanke missed when he was getting games for us, but he shows for the ball and is super aggressive which I thought was excellent

Chambo scored another belter last night, surely in line to make a start v Villa?

Hoping we sit Fabinho for this one...

I'm hoping we rest Fabinho for Villa as he's only 1 card away from missing the City game.

Exactly my thoughts.

Our December / January looks absolutely brutal

Fab has to be left out. If we can't beat Villa without him then we don't deserve anything

Can't believe Keita is injured yet again.

Leaving Fab out is almost like leaving VVD out. He is that crucial. I would risk it personally.

He was really poor last night. Left Lallana exposed so many times. He goes wandering too much in a game.

I am really surprised so many of our fans demand he starts every game. I don't think he has earned a starting place in my opinion.

Not really the way it works. I personally would play him against Villa. The way they play means that central midfield is really important. I get that the City game is vital but we have to give ourselves the best chance to beat Villa, and that includes Fabinho playing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is bound to get a card though. If we had him last season we would of won that game at cIty.

I think it would be suicidal to play against them without him

He looks so short of confidence whenever I see him, needs another breakthrough

Absolutely no way of knowing what would have happened with him so that's a ridiculous thing to say.

true, however missing our best midfielder is not helpful at all

The watford game seems to be the fixture that could do with being moved, though would the prem agree to that..
