Dean Smith might not care about the league cup but I do. No Grealish, no McGinn and a last 16 exit. Dean Smith's fault. Stupid team selection. If he doesn't want to win trophies I don't want him managing Aston Villa.[/QUOTE)
I would be interested to know your team selection for last night with a major game on Sunday.
If you say, "he should have played Grealish" (for example) Smith would have been trashed if he got injured last night and was out for Sunday.
Smith played the side that comprehensively destroyed Bristol in the previous round. Why would he not expect a similar showing against Stoke last PM?
