Aston Villa fans gave their reaction to Jonny Drury after Villa were beaten 3-0 in the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace at Wembley.
Villa went into the game as favourites, but were behind when Eberechi Eze lashed in a stunner in the first half.
Jean-Philippe Mateta missed a spot kick, before Ismalia Sarr rifled in a second to give Villa a mountain to climb.
They pushed but couldn't find a way back into the game, before Sarr compounded their misery in added time.

00:00Claire, Kerry, come here today dreaming of a cup final but wasn't meant to be. What did you make of it?
00:05Just total disappointment. It just wasn't the feeling that we were used to.
00:09Yeah, we're not used to that. I think Emery told them to, you know, chill, keep it calm and it just didn't work.
00:16I just feel like they were more physical than us actually. They just paid off from Pallus' favourite.
00:21Yeah. We were in midfield, we were just second to a lot of balls.
00:25Also, Crystal Palace weren't in Champions League, so, you know, we've had a lot more games.
00:29I think one too many games for a really maybe show, but at the same time I thought maybe that our talent...
00:35They needed to push.
00:37I really thought they were going to do better than they did.
00:40Yeah, I did.
00:41Just did play, did we? Did turn up, we didn't play, we did really well.
00:46Just did play really well. The team selection was not really good and I didn't play really well.
00:53Yeah. There were a few questions about the team selection, you know, what were your particular gripes about it,
00:57what did you kind of make of it when the team news came out at...
01:00Well, I don't know, it's been up and down all the time, but when we played Man City last week it wasn't really good then
01:05and I think we just pulled that. Same attitude today. It wasn't really good.
01:09No, good enough. Good enough for the semi-final.
01:12It's a wrong team selection from the start really, to be honest. It should have played Mings, it should have played Thomas. Just Paul.
01:19And then just, it's everything, played nothing. Palace was a better team. Good.
01:24Yeah, I know there was a lot of, you know, few Villa fans questioning that team selection, you know, was that kind of the main one, you know?
01:31Yeah, losing Rashford as well, to injury, that happened Rashford being on the people that helped us.
01:38Yeah, like you mentioned there about the midfield, you feel like Palace maybe wanted it a little bit more than Villa showed up for the occasion.
01:42Yeah, they wanted it more, but I feel that. I do think that, I think, like, yeah, I really think that.
01:46I feel like they were told to take it easy, this is going to be a bit easier than expected, and it wasn't.
01:51Yeah, it was a bit more of a physical game around, taking Villa were a bit more ethical there, but they feel awesome, yeah.
01:56So, yeah, yeah, of course they did. They come out and they played better than we did and they got three goals.
02:03And that defence was crappy again, sorry to say. They needed to do better.
02:09Yeah, I mean, I think we was flat in midweek against Man City, and I thought, fair enough, we was flat in midweek,
02:14I thought we'd rise our game, but we didn't. It was the same performance, you know, it's a piece of Palace rise to their game, they deserved it.
02:20Yeah, and obviously disappointment now, but they've got to pick themselves up and go again to try and get the Champions League.
02:24Now you just think they can do it?
02:26Do you know what, I wouldn't say maybe they weren't going to do it, but after two disappointments in the Champions League and now the FA Cup are watching weather,
02:32I mean, somehow they'll manage it because this is our final question.
02:35Yeah, they'll push that.
02:36Extra motivation.
02:37Extra motivation, yeah.
02:38Yeah.
02:39I think we've just got to regroup and go for that fourth spot, and that's it then. I think we're doing it, but it's kind of so positive.
02:46I'm hoping they don't pick it away, but I can't, I don't think we can pick us up at the police now.
02:52He's kind of got a big job to pick him up for this massive run-in almost.
02:56Yeah, yeah. Hopefully we'll get some new people, but I don't know. I really don't know.
03:02Not sure after today?
03:03Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm praying we can do something, but hopefully. Just got to see what results go away, you know what I mean?
03:11Do you feel the time?
03:12It's the wrong team selection from the start, really, to be honest.
03:15It should have played Mings instead of played Thomas, just Paul.
03:19And then just, it's everything, kind of nothing. Palace is a better team. Good.
03:24Yeah, I know there was a lot of, you know, a few Villa fans questioning that team selection, you know,
03:29was that kind of the main one, you know, if Tyra Mings was in there, it might have been different.
03:33Yeah, I think losing Rashford as well, to injury. I think Rashford being on the pick would have helped us.
03:41Yeah, of course I did. I did. They come out and they played better than we did, but they got three goals.
03:48And the defence was crappy again, so I decided I didn't really business. I need to do better.
03:56Yeah, I think it was quite a mid-week against Man City. I thought, fair enough, it was quite a mid-week. I thought we'd raise our game, but we didn't.
04:03It was the same performance, and a piece of Palace raised their game and they deserved it.
04:08Yeah, I think it was quite a mid-week against Man City. I thought, fair enough, it was quite a mid-week. I thought we'd raise our game, but we didn't.
04:16It was the same performance, and a piece of Palace raised their game and they deserved it.
04:38I think we'd just got to regroup and go for that full spot, and that's it. I think we'd do it, but I'm so positive.
04:46I'm openly doing Peter 8, but I don't think people can pick us up at least now.
04:53He's kind of got a big job to pick him up for this massive run-in, almost.
04:56Yeah, yeah. Hopefully we'll get some new people, but I don't know. I really don't know.
05:02Not sure after today. Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm praying we can do something, but hopefully.
05:09We've just got to see what results go away, you know what I mean?
