Nottingham Forest - Aston Villa

There was a worse one on Anderson by mcginn- and worse he meant it…

Next week could suit us if we can win the ball back and counter. Going to be nervy and whoever gets the first goal at Villa Park will probably win the tie. The only thing I think based on the first leg is that Anderson and Gibbs-White showed far more desire than any Villa player. If they both end up leaving in the summer then winning the Europa League would be some legacy

Agreed. When Anderson and MGW had that interchange of passes with the crowd shouting Ole between each one was just delightful.

Just seen the Anderson tackle back, a bit naughty but so quick I don’t think intentional, barely a yellow never mind red, don’t know what Emery is so mad about. Assume he is trying to prime VAR to give them favours next week.

Forest bias of course but I didn't think it deserved a red card. He got the ball and it looked like his leg bounced up off it afterwards, that's why his foot was high.

I fancy us to score at their gaff meaning Villa will have to score at least 3 to beat us.

Nice to have a bit of a luck, had the referee sent him then there is no way VAR would have overturned it

Does anyone know how many penalties we’ve had this season?

Must be some kind of club record.

Decent performance from the lads. I was thinking we'd struggle without Sangare and with Onana in for them but we managed to nick it. Its going to be a pressure cooker over there next week, trying to hang onto a slender lead.

Best form of defence will probably be to attack.

We will be asking for trouble if we sit back and park the bus to try to hang on to what we already have.

Think it will be a cracker.

End to end a proper cup tie.

Like two boxes slugging it out in the ring.

Can't wait.

I think nine in the Europa League. Can only think of the one away at West Ham in the PL.

Unai Emery's a canny operator. All the headlines this morning are of the Anderson tackle because Emery kicked off in the media afterwards. He's taking the heat off his players losing consecutive games and putting pressure on the ref for next week. I do like the way he goes about his business.

[Paplane]

Dont like the celebrations appearing on social media this morning. Forest fans acting like we've won the tie.

If you pause it on the moment when he catches his ankle it looks worse than it actually was, looked more like he just grazed his ankle. Don't think it was a red for me.
