00:00 Aston Villa are out of the Carabao Cup at the third round stage. The first time
00:04 of asking is of course as they went straight into the third round of the
00:08 competition. Everton running out 2-1 victors here at Villa Park on Wednesday
00:12 evening. Sean Dyche's side came here with a game plan to press high to box Villa
00:17 in and they executed it very well. Villa on the other hand that's probably one of
00:21 the worst performances if not the worst I've seen under Unai Emery. I think that
00:25 Stevenage won here at home last season in the FA Cup probably tips that and a
00:30 few others as well but this is definitely one of the worst. Just devoid
00:33 of quality, no desire ready to go forward. The first half no real chance of
00:37 creation whatsoever. In the second it was an awful start defensively. Ezri Conza
00:42 was skipped past by Dominic Calvert-Lewin and he scored to make 2-0 and it was a
00:46 really poor back pass to Conza from Yuri Tieleman as well that led to that goal
00:51 and as I say just not really any desire, no real quality going forward. I've just
00:56 seen the scoreboard behind me changing it wasn't 0-0 it was 2-1 to
01:00 Everton and yeah just really disappointing on the whole. The fans are
01:03 quite flat throughout you can't really blame them for it.
01:06 Everton meanwhile really buoyant in the away end and was acting as if it was
01:10 some sort of final here or getting to the final. They were an amazing away
01:14 crowd here it must be said but very disappointing from Aston Villa. You can
01:18 find my player ratings on www.birminghamworld.co.uk and there's also been a post-match
01:22 reaction from both managers on that website as well.
