Too much to ask that the Manc clubs do something similar tomorrow and get dumped out. If we get past everton no chance we will get Villa in the semis. Just waiting for the cries of fix when they avoid each other in the semis so that the TV can get the final that they want. You just know its going to happen.That said, i think we would do Utd over two legs so Sky will still be able to bill the final as 2nd vs 3rd placed PL teams.:fishing:

Minute they knew this would be Liverpool u23s why didn't they shift things to let Colchester have a televised game rather than Liverpool u23s vs Villa?

Yeah good point. the extra revenue would make a huge difference to them. Plus we could have all had a good laugh if they pulled off a miracle.

Exactly, lower football league teams are struggling financially, tv money could've helped them rather than watching prem teams

Feel they're getting slightly ahead of themselves on praising the liverpool players, no doubt they have brilliant talent, but talent alone doesn't get you to be a premier league footballer. Elliot had brilliant moments but whats to stop him being like huge numbers of players who peak at an early age and then plateau or get worse with age.

I know this is effectively Liverpool U21s but the media seem to be forgetting this was a reserve Aston Villa team too, wasnt like Grealish and McGinn were playing and being flat track bullies with no mercy.

It was an experienced team with bags of playing time at premier league and championship level. There's no way it should have even been close.

Exactly. 

 

You only need to look at how a lot of academies fair in the EFL trophy (in particular Liverpool who didn’t win a game) to see the difference. And that’s against league one and two sides.

On a side note it makes our u23s getting past the first knockout rounds an even better achievement.
