ON THIS DAY
In total contrast to the disrespect that Gérard Houllier had showed Villa and the FA Cup in 2010-11 and which had caused such a furore, Alex McLeish named his strongest possible line up for the tie at Arsenal.
And yet Alex McLeish was not rewarded by fortune on the pitch or favour from the stands as a two goal lead was overturned and short memories of 2011 were in full effect.
McLeish was everything Houllier wasn’t, but he also wasn’t the manager Villa craved, even 11th place and a right good old go in the FA Cup couldn’t or more accurately wouldn’t win over the legion of doubters.
