Aston Villa Supporters Club, Seattle

FT 0-3 Bournemouth made 8 changes, looked cohesive, front foot and attacking. Looked like a team. Villa looked reactive, passive and something not often said about an Emery team, disinterested. The League Cup & FA Cup should always be on the Villa radar, both are realistic trophies for where Villa are. That key players were rested, even with a busy schedule is false economy. The League isn't going to be won, neither is Champions League, but both are being managed now, well. So resting in form players in a winnable Cup makes no sense. Disappointed for the 1000 odd travelling Villans, can't say it often in the Emery era but they weren't rewarded with even 50% of a Villa performance.

There are only 4 clubs in the history of English game that at the conclusion of any season can claim to have been "England's most successful club by major trophies won". Aston Villa 80 years( consecutive) Liverpool 46 years( split over 2 periods including now) Blackburn Rovers 5 years( consecutive) Manchester United 2 years(consecutive)
