Some Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Henri Lansbury against Stoke City at home on Thursday evening.
Lansbury was in action for Villa in their Carabao Cup tie against Stoke at Villa Park this evening.
The former Nottingham Forest midfielder started the fourth-round tie and played for the entire 90 minutes, as the home team lost 1-0, with Sam Vokes scoring the only goal of the match in the 26th minute.
According to WhoScored, the 29-year-old midfielder took two shots which were not on target, played three key passes, had a pass accuracy of 72.7%, won two headers, took 83 touches, attempted one dribble, and put in one cross.
Some Villa fans were not impressed with the display produced by Lansbury and have strongly criticised him on Twitter.
