# Aston Villa: Fans react to Jack Grealish post-match footage

**Aston Villa fans aired their feelings for Jack Grealish after post-match footage from yesterday’s Carabao Cup final surfaced on social media, showing his heartbreaking reaction to the defeat at Wembley.**

The videos show Grealish lying on the pitch with his arms over his face following Villa’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City yesterday ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51601970)). Villa battled back to create a tense finish in North London, but early strikes from Sergio Aguero and Rodri were enough to give Man City their third straight EFL Cup win.

Grealish has been [Villa’s top performer this season](https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/29/aston-villa-boss-dean-smith-opens-door-jack-grealish-manchester-united-transfer-12324661/)according to *WhoScored*, but with [only 1 dribble and no shots](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1452432/Live/England-League-Cup-2019-2020-Aston-Villa-Manchester-City) in yesterday’s final, Villa’s star man went missing when it really mattered. The midfielder has earned plenty of plaudits this season, and as a result, Dean Smith has already [conceded that Grealish’s future at Villa is dependent on their success over the next few months](https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/29/aston-villa-boss-dean-smith-opens-door-jack-grealish-manchester-united-transfer-12324661/).

With the opportunity to win a major trophy now blown for Villa, Grealish could arguably be more likely to depart in the summer considering their position within the Premier League’s relegation zone amid [reports linking with him Manchester United](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11069931/jack-grealish-man-utd-transfer-aston-villa/).

Still, regardless of transfer rumours and his underperformance, Villans paid tribute to their talisman after the video surfaced.

Here are some of their thoughts…
