That’s an attacking team isn’t it… big game for Rogers.  And Diaby.

It's a 'can't win' situation for him, really, either way.

Let's fucking go for it. Win this competition and we're Europa League *at least* depending on how we finish in the league. It's not a no-win situation.

And 4th is more likely to be 5th and above if we win it, too.

What is the point in getting all excited about qualifying for Europe only to then shit the bed at the first sight of it being a challenge?

Lucy Ward doing the male commentators job for him by explaining to him why we have conceded quite a few goals at home recently that have amazingly coincided with injuries to our high line defence that needs measured timing & coordination to work.

That's how it's pronounced. Ike Athens. Powk Salonika. etc.

I've always assumed that it was just said as the three different letters

The inconsistencies of foreign club nomenclature.

It's Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos, or the Athletic Union of Constantinople. In Greek they go Ike. But if you want to spell out the English letters you probabaly want to call them Ay - You - See. Greek name, Greek pronunciation. If you're not doing the Greek, translate the lot. But probably just do the Greek.

I reckon if everyone just calls them whatever they want, things will probably be fine in the end.

Diaby's had his best 45 minutes since August.

Bailey looks likely to score or assist at any moment.

Someone shout "TURN" when Duran gets the ball in the centre circle.

We really should be scoring another two goals tonight.

• Great header from Watkins (he’ll probably be out for the season now knowing our luck with injuries)
• Good first half from Diaby
• Can we not concede a goal in the first 15 mins of the second half for a change

Carlos has had a decent half too. That was daft from Moreno before half time and it could have cost us. Should have the second got already, Bailey and Diaby have been dangerous but need to make it count.
As long as that's only a bang for Watkins it should be ok.

I think we look easily the better side but we just can't quite click in the final third. There have been 5-6 times where a slightly better touch, better pass or quicker decision would've seen us in with a good chance.

We look good without being amazing.

Bar that last minute thing, Ajax have created absolutely nothing.

We could do with getting the ball into dangerous situations a bit quicker than we are (and have done of late in general) but we are much the better side.

Of course, we know that we are now about to go into the shoot-self-in-face-at-least-once 45-55 minute period so anything could happen.

I think we are playing well and controlling the game - aside the last minute scramble, they haven’t tested Emi at all where we have had 3 or 4 opportunities.

Given our injury list, the makeshift side on display, and Sundays debacle, I’m pleased with that 45 mins.

Calm heads now needed - keep controlling the game, they will have to open up, and then we pick them off.

Tbf, Carlos hasn’t had a right lot to do. He usually looks ok until he’s put under pressure.

Yep - Diaby and Bailey working well in tandem

That’s my hope on Ollie as we’re done if he’s got a bad injury.

Carlos has genuinely gone almost the entire half unmentioned, which is a good thing (I mean, not because it's him, just because our defence haven't been spending much time in-shot).

Ollie didn't look too bad when he walked off. Most likely an impact injury more than any twist to his knee. Probably a doubt for Sunday at  West Ham. The international break is well timed for once....!
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Ajax - Match Thread
Post by: pablo_picasso on March 14, 2024, 09:00:28 PM
Very bitty first half. Broken up by lots of fouls, cards, playing injured, time wasting by Ajax, another shit ref & a few injuries.

Watkins goal was nice. He has a lovely timed jump & 'hang time'. Gutted he is injured. Hopefully just a knock & a precaution.

Diaby has looked better. Looks like he has had a bit more space to use his pace with Bailey taking away a defender or two.

Pau Torres is an absolute Rolls Royce of a defender. So comfortable on the ball.

Rogers has shown some nice attacking moments. A few sloppy tackles though, so he has to be careful.

Blimey, these commentators couldn't be more unenthusiastic about us.

Lucy Ward hasn't been too bad, but that Ian Darke twat has mentioned the Tottenham game more than he has spoken about this one. I thought him making jokes about the injuries was in poor taste too. Especially as Lucy Ward has mentioned more than once how many we actually have & the effect it has had on our season.

Rogers done o.k. You can tell he's terrified of making any sort of challenge with the Yellow. That Ajax player made a massive meal of that challenge but the first leg ref would've probably sent him off.

If Ramsey or Zaniolo were available we'd probably sub him at half time as don't really want another match where we go down to 10 men and had to cover more ground than necessary.

Did I really hear the commentator refer to AEK Athens as Ike Athens???

That's how it's pronounced. Ike Athens. Powk Salonika. etc.

I've always assumed that it was just said as the three different letters

The inconsistencies of foreign club nomenclature.

It's Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos, or the Athletic Union of Constantinople. In Greek they go Ike. But if you want to spell out the English letters you probabaly want to call them Ay - You - See. Greek name, Greek pronunciation. If you're not doing the Greek, translate the lot. But probably just do the Greek.

I reckon if everyone just calls them whatever they want, things will probably be fine in the end.

Fantastic.

Duran has the Anelka about him, always looks like he's sulking but defenders seem to be terrified of him.

Duran and Diaby both needed their goals.

Goals for Duran and Diaby would erase Sunday from our memories.

Bostin' finish Moussa. That'll do him the world of good. I might have a couple of quid on him to score against Spam at the weekend.

Two minutes left at Qarabag - Leverkusen. They go out, that's probably fifth place = good enough sewn up.

Kellyman just not quite on the same wavelength as everyone else, but looks eager.

Good to see Kellyman back.

Lets hope he morphs into some sort of Gareth Barry>Gareth Farrelly hybrid between now and the end of the season.

Every time i see it, my internal jukebox loads up Nick Drake's River Man as 'Kelly Man'
