Excellent stuff, a strong line-up. FTFF!
-
XI LOSC LILLE: Chevalier; Tiago Santos, Diakité, Yoro, Ismaily; André, Bentaleb; Zhegrova, Haraldsson, Gudmundsson; David
-
Probably the strongest lineup we could’ve fielded. I will now sign out because of superstition UTV 🦁 💪🏼
-
Digne will hopefully have a blinder against his first club.
-
Think we can tap up David after we spank them?
-
Happy with that line up. Unchanged it seems.
3-1 Villa.
-
Think we can tap up David after we spank them?
If David plays well I think be after him if he doesn't I would leave him for some other team.
Be interesting to see how he performs tonight.
-
Good lineup.
FTF.
-
Get in Emery. No excuses, no eye on something else, the best 11 we have available giving it everything. A buoyant crowd tonight and we could put these away.
-
Sacre Bleu. We're really going for this.
F Le Fers.
-

I'd hope we're basing our potential transfers on something a bit more than whether or not they play well in a couple of matches against us.

Are Lille any good? Anyone who actually watches French football have an opinion? Or a team you'd compare them too.

The bloke from l'Equipe I spoke to yesterday made a good point - Digne and Lenglet would be stars in France.
-
Yes. Well coached. Obvs don't have premier league level resources but in my opinion this should have been the final.
-

Better than anyone else we've played so far. Not as good as us.
But that doesn't mean we definitely won't screw it up.
-

I don't really follow French football though i am French but one thing is sure they are better than ajax so a very tough game. Their weak point according to French media is that they have young players lacking experience.
-
What a thoughtful bunch of replies there!
So a big challenge ahead then. I suppose you want to have to beat some good teams on the way to a trophy, can't just have it handed to you.
-
Lille fans giving it to Emi during the warm up
-
Yes. Well coached.
That's a good point. Fonseca is thought of as one of the best coaches around. He was Spurs' first choice when they eventually went for Nuno Espírito Santo and is supposedly the guy West Ham want if / when they ditch Moyes.
-
Any little rivers very welcome.
-
"Villa's first major European quarter final in 41 years". Erm, no.
-
Bailey doing poppers
-
I would really appreciate a pm regarding this game.Ahem
-
And off we go
-
Dempsey is on commentary for TNT . He's always pro villa.
-
Allez Villa !
-
Any trickles would be appreciated please.
-
Dempsey is on commentary for TNT . He's always pro villa.
Yeah i like him one of my fav pundits
-
Looks like McGinn is playing off Watkins rather than Tielemans.
-
Fucking hell
-
Lille fans giving it to Emi during the warm up
He's a proper hate figure in France, on account of his antics in the World Cup final
And by antics, I of course mean being fucking awesome and winning the thing for Argentina.
-
carlos whats he doing?
-
Carlos veey lucky there
-
offside 17 minutes after
-
Well, we haven't exactly started like a train.
-
These can play a bit !
-
Better
-
Watkina ahould ahve passed that quicker
-
Playing better now.
-
Cheers all. Sorted for information about the game. :-)
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
goaalll

Ollie. Get in.

VAR pending obviously
-
Get innnnn!

SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Blimey, even Sky were later than you. Great work Mr Shin,
-
Get in!
-
What a superb header from Ollie. Proper Benteke stuff.
-
Yesssssss ollieeee!!!
-
GWETTT INNNNN!!!!!
-
Just spotted our future kings are there.
-
Where can reliable little rivers be found these days? The only ones I can find seem to be full of trash.
-
England's best striker does it again.
-
By royal appointment
-
Where were their defence.

Yes indeed - George wearing his scarf.
-
1-0 even Watkins scores
-
25 for the season, not too shabby
-
L’il Lee is all excited bless him.
-
What a fine player we have on our hands
-
Brilliant 5minute spell leading to that, had 3 really good chances.
-
CMONNNNN
-
Well that's nice. Cracking run and header.
-
Ollie!
-
Absolutely ridiculous the number of headers he scores for 5ft 10"
-
Goal from TNT
https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1778502503656464585
-
Ginnys up for it
-
Absolutely ridiculous the number of headers he scores for 5ft 10"
No chance he's 5ft 10"!
Edit: I'm missing a joke, aren't I?
-
SJM down
-
he's 5/11.
-
no ginnys down
-
Absolutely ridiculous the number of headers he scores for 5ft 10"
Shame he can't take penalties with his head, he'd be first on the list for the Euros then.

Links dead. The might repost later.
-
Shit, SJM down.
-
Weird they removed it as it's their highlights
-
And it's up again
https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1778503221532635210
-
No closing at all there
-
carlos passing always worries me
-
Weird they removed it as it's their highlights
It’s TNT, they’re a shambles.
-
Weird they removed it as it's their highlights
Back up again but different link. I will let you do the honours.
-
I see that Alisha is turning Luiz’s hair grey!!
-
I'll be amazed if there aren't more goals in this
-
Maybe it's some kind of Stockholm syndrome but I kind of really like our kits now.
-
Played Emi
-
Emi saves us
-

Zonal marking gone awry
-

Maybe 5ft 11" with his current bouffant.
-
Great save Emi.
-
Bailey playing in front of a 34 year old.. lets take advantage of that.
-
That was a superb cross. Well done emi

Wills in attendance.
Great blocking by Diego and Rogers to leave Ollie unmarked.
Lovely header back against where the keeper had come from.

Fuck me, that was embarrassing from Tiago.
-
Ollie Watkins has scored 25 goals for Aston Villa in all competitions this season, the joint-most by a player for them in a Premier League season alongside Dwight Yorke in 1995-96.
Barring absolute disaster.... he'll beat that record tidily.
-
Great to see George nail his colours to the mast.

Great to see George nail his colours to the mast.
The best argument against republicanism I've ever seen.
-
Emi again
-
Lille are a very decent team. They will cause us issues 2nd leg if we dont have a decent lead 2nd leg
-
emi again saves
-
What has happened to our defence? All over the shop of late.
-
We dont deserve to be ahead im sorry to say. Emis saved us three times.
Come.on you villa boys
-
Our defence is decidedly iffy lately.
-
I do find it strange that McGinn played well in midfield with Luiz before his suspension but now it's Tielemans playing the deeper role. He hasn't got the energy to play it.
-
It'd be nice to get a bit more of the ball.
-
We need to get konsa back at cb asap. Hopwfully cash back soon
-
Our defence is decidedly iffy lately.
Carlos is too casual.
-
no chance scoring from there
-
We just seem one or two touches away from perfection in the final third but we look about as secure at the back as my arse after a vindaloo
-
Ewww.
-
thats a good cjance there - 3 waiting for a tap in
-
Rogers playing great
-
Our defence is decidedly iffy lately.
Carlos is too casual.
I think maybe the midfield isn't providing the screen that it should, but to be fair we're really missing Kamara in that regard.
-
Kamara is probably the biggest loss, injury wise, of the lot.
-
Liverpool losing.
-
Ewww.
Apologies Kippax
-

Franz Beckenbauer he is not. We need Konsa back in the middle.

This guy Carlos can be rather erratic as well as too casual with his passing.
-
The wringing wet kit problem is back .
-
Emi again
-
martinez again
-
Sounds like we are playing crap?
-
Impressed with Rogers again tonight.
-
We need at least 2 more going into the second leg or we are in trouble.
-
Emi saves us again.
-
What the fuck was tha stupid pass ??
-
I reckon we need to take to take a 3 goal lead into the 2nd leg to be reasonably comfortable. They’ve already had 4 1 v Emi chances and he’s come up on top this far.
-
Sounds like we are playing crap?
That’s generous.
-
Jesus Christ our defending is wank.
-
We are looking pretty crap currently, Emi saved us multiple times. We're so lightweight.
-
Sounds like we are playing crap?
good football at times but defence bit doddge
-
McGinn fool with a stupid McGinn foul.
-
Tiago is a proper twat.
-
If they score no one can say it won't be deserved. We have been pretty poor tbh
-
We’re lucky to be in front. Need to improve big time.
Douggie looks well off it tonight.
-
I do think we lack a bit of height and physicality in midfield.
-
I think attacking wise Villa are far too strong and powerful and with Martinez in defence ,who is world class, makes all the difference between these two teams.
-

We really, really miss Kamara. Too often we can't get a foot on the ball in midfield.
-
The ref has been decent.
-

Its the hair
-
They're playing us off the park. Get it sorted Unai.

Commentator is one for his proper pronunciations.

It will be a different kettle of fish in france. If we play like this i think they will beat us comfortably
We need to step up a gear
-
Konsa really isn’t a very good right bsck.
-
Need to pick it up a bit second half, especially at the back
-
Good scoreline, but fuck me, we look absolutely second best and without the best goalkeeper in the world playing for us, we'd be in big trouble here.
-
Just got in, any trickles going, my usual go-tos aren't working tonight?
-
Konsa really isn’t a very good right bsck.
I would much rather ser Hayden there and Konsa put back in his best position
-
Kessler Hayden on Konsa back to centre half but I’m not the manager. Also Tim on in midfield maybe.
-
We miss Kamara badly.
-
The one thing I don't understand is since his suspension why McGinn has been moved back to the 10 role. Tielemans is much better in that role and McGinn should be sitting in with Dougie.
-
Lacking a bit of intensity for me. Carlos is a nightmare is rattling those around him a bit
Thank fuck for emi, Rogers big positive
-
Not great. Cut open way too easily far too many times. Martinez has been immense but he shouldn't need to be.
Look dangerous when we do have the ball. Think McGinn and Tielemans need to swap positions
-
Konsa really isn’t a very good right bsck.
I would much rather ser Hayden there and Konsa put back in his best position
At this point im thinking so too. Carlos is such a liability and fod me him and pau at cb dont compliment each other very well.
Id look to ship carlos out in summer tbh and get someone else in
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Blimey, even Sky were later than you. Great work Mr Shin,
On that Soccer Saturday thing, Sky are always about a minute or two behind.
-
Konsa and Carlos not inspiring confidence on the right. Emi proving why he is the World's No 1. We are very lucky to be in front at HT. I'd bring on KKH for Carlos and push Konsa inside.
We need to be much better in the second-half.
-
I not sure what game people are watching, as I feel it's quite comfortable personally. Lille doesn't seem to have the same cutting edge as we do.
Martinez has been immense, but they are all saves a man of his calibre makes.
Watkins has the beating of the defence, and Emery will tell them to kill it off in the in the second half.I think Rodgers has been great in the in the first half, but McGinn and Carlos could do better.
At the end of the day, our players are of higher class, and I think over two legs it will show. If we stepped up, they wouldn't live with us.
-
Konsa really isn’t a very good right bsck.
I would much rather ser Hayden there and Konsa put back in his best position

I agree.
Carlos is generally frightening, and seems to have a similar effect on the rest of the defence as when they see Olsen behind them.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Blimey, even Sky were later than you. Great work Mr Shin,

I reckon Mr Shin sits on top of the goalposts.
-
Riding our luck big time.
-
Konsa really doesn’t offer much as a full back. Rogers can be pleased with his performance so far but, as a team, Villa really need to up their game. Even if we take a 1 goal lead to Lille, I doubt it’ll be enough.
-

We need to step up a gear
We will low block over there just like we did in Amsterdam.
Really good first 20 minutes but after that we've rode our luck and needed Emi heroics not to concede.
They are a good side though, miles better than Ajax so I'm not too surprised. Like the look of the Icelandic kid in the number 10 position.
If we can scramble another goal off a set piece and then actually manage things properly from 2-0 up then that would be a brilliant advantage to take to France.
One goal lead or us not winning tonight and it's going to be a major struggle.
-
Would you take 1-0 FT?
-
The one thing I don't understand is since his suspension why McGinn has been moved back to the 10 role. Tielemans is much better in that role and McGinn should be sitting in with Dougie.
Think Bailey has cooled over the last month aswell. He's still getting into decent areas but the end product is lacking currently.
Diaby in better form and he'd be up for it playing a French team so don't think it will be too long in the second half before he's on unless the intention is to limit his minutes tonight and start him at Arsenal instead.
-
I think we're playing this on purpose just so as Emi can troll the French more
-
Would you take 1-0 FT?
The way we played in the first half absolutely.
Exoecting a massive improvement second half though
-
It's close game. We've had a few good chances, they've had even better ones and Martinez is showing yet again why he's one of the very best, especially in these one on ones.
But, most of us thought it'd be a close game and there won't be any more 'easy' games in this competition now. If we can take a coupe of goals lead into the 2nd leg you'd have to say it was a big result. Rogers looks like his ceiling of potential could be sky high to me. A super star in the making maybe. He'll make mistakes, but he looks potentially like the real deal.
-
Bailey off the boil and doesn't seem to back himself to get past his man now teams are double marking him.
-
We could win this 3 or 4 nil if we were a bit more careful in possession. Every attack promising until it breaks down with a careless pass.
-
Bit more, fuck it, a lot more direct second half please.
-
We're giving it away too often.
-
I'll forecast it now as people seem to see it very differently, but Watkins will score at least one more tonight and Villa will get two or three in the 2nd half
I know what I can see on footy observations , players on the field and to come on . I only see a Villa victory. Mark my words.
Come on Villa!
Enjoy the second half !
-
Just got in, any trickles going, my usual go-tos aren't working tonight?
Check your PM's
-
Forget it.
-
We believe in the Oracle of H&V!!!
-
I get that people say we miss Kamara... but we didn't miss him that much when McGinn was in there, and I was one of the ones who wanted Tim playing there but he made me eat humble pie. I don't really understand not switching Tielemans and McGinn around.
-
That’s us fucked then
-
look at liverpools goalie compared to ours poor sods
-
Konsa really isn’t a very good right bsck.
I would much rather ser Hayden there and Konsa put back in his best position
At this point im thinking so too. Carlos is such a liability and fod me him and pau at cb dont compliment each other very well.

I agree.
Carlos is generally frightening, and seems to have a similar effect on the rest of the defence as when they see Olsen behind them.
Just hasnt looked the same since that big injury for me. He looks nervy and has lost a load of his pace. I also agree with your other points too.
Think we need a right sided cb who is a lot more dominating in the air
-
We all know that Unai will be working hard to sort out the defensive issues but he is nowhere near finding a solution. Sides can cut through our midfield too easily and we are too slow at the back.
Some of our passing and movement in the final third has been clever and crisp but we have to tighten up. Lille are, as expected, a very good side.
-
ginny looked good to the knock he got
-
That’s us fucked then
I know. He’s a fucking clown isn’t he?
-
You'd hope/expect that Unai can make a few tweaks at HT to our formation/shape etc at HT to sort out the few problems we've had.
Will Lille sit back, be happy being 1-0 down, try and hold us goalless in the 2nd half whilst trying to get one on the break?
Or will they push more - might leave gaps
-
Stupid question, what time is kick off in the away game next week please? Is it 5.45pm?
-
We could win this 3 or 4 nil if we were a bit more careful in possession. Every attack promising until it breaks down with a careless pass.
We had three or four chances that on another day would have seen us cruising into the next round. Poor finishing from Watkins and Bailey plus the brilliance of King Emi have kept Lille in the game. They play some decent stuff, much like us in many ways but they move the ball faster. Fortunately we have better players.
Fonseca their coach turned us down a few years ago, though I can't remember exactly when.

They'll have a go in the last 20 minutes if it's still 1-0, will be a nervous end.
-

Yes

Yep
-
thats a yellow
-
Our number 2 seems to have been sent off along with lilles goal keeping coach. God knows whats happened
-
In a pub near Nijmegen, and only this thread to go off. Would take 1-0 now but hopefully we score more.
-
Our thug Assistant coach has been told not to come out. Gangster.
-
got to be scoring that
-
Luiz booked
-
yellowfor shirt pull but not Lilles
-
Love how Luis gets a yellow but the nord didn't
-
Luiz booked
Blimey, nothing changes.
-
Better
Hows that a yellow ??
-
omg wow that would have been goal of the tournament!
-
Better
Hows that a yellow ??
Shirt pull = yellow card, they all know it. Luiz was daft.
-
That's a really annoying yellow given he let the one on Konsa go a minute earlier.
-
whats that dougie
dye your hair back
-
ref is pathetic, lille are clowns.
-
That's a really annoying yellow given he let the one on Konsa go a minute earlier.
Well there is that.
-
That's why people get pissed off with refs. One shirt pull gets no card, thirty seconds later another gets a yellow.
-
Lille should ahve passed that quicker
-
Penalty surely?
-
How is that not a penalty?
-
WTF was that about?
-
How thw fucks that not a pen? He took him out ??
-
got to score here on top
-
We really do heed to sharpen up the disciplinary side of our game. Too often we give away silly fouls and get daft bookings.
-
thats a pen
-
A decision our way. Unbelievable and that foul was worse than luiz so hows that not a yellow?
-
How tf could that NOT be a penalty?!
-
That has to be a penalty?
-
good free kick
-
I try and give the refs more slack than most, I feel, but that's clearly a pen.
-
that was going in
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
ginnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-
2-0. SJM.
-
Fucking get in sideways!!
-
Love me a bit SJM
-
Yessssss, SJM.
-
SJMMMMM!!!!!!!
-
Superb finish, keeper completely taken out of the game.
-
Yessssssss super john !!!!
-
Great goal
-
What a finish! Get in!
-
What a fabulous finish
-
Great finish.
Sorely needed, now get another before the ref fucks it uk for us
-
Finally a slip that benefits us! Well done leon!
-
doesnt he book Lille players
-
Quality.
-
class finish.
-
Nanny Macphee certainly earns his corn.
-
Oh yes!
-
Lovely goal!
-
thats got to be enough to go through now, maybe one more to make sure
-
We've been so good this half. Come on Villa
-
Get fucked scousers
-
Liverpool losing 2-0 ffs you useless fucks
-
'The Mighty Reds YNWA' 0-2 Atalanta
-
Bollocks. My river has run dry!
-
Unai giving it to the ref, good.
-
Yazici coming on. This guys good. Need to be careful in set pieces here
-
We want English clubs to do well for 5th UCL surely
-
3-0 would do it for me
-
Yaz coming on. This guys good
they said David was good :)
-
I'd like 6, just to be sure
-
I'd like 6, just to be sure
How about lucky 7?
-
We want English clubs to do well for 5th UCL surely
Would Whammers beating Leverkusen be a better result than Liverpool winning?
-
Yaz coming on. This guys good
I guess they're thinking that the only way is up.
-
2-1
-
ffs Villa
-
Bollocks.
-
We want English clubs to do well for 5th UCL surely
Would Whammers beating Leverkusen be a better result than Liverpool winning?
Well, yeah, because it's directly against a German team.
-
We want English clubs to do well for 5th UCL surely
normally can't be arsed, but if it helps Aston Villa Football Club it will do for me
-
We want English clubs to do well for 5th UCL surely
Would Whammers beating Leverkusen be a better result than Liverpool winning?
Yes, as it would mean less points for a German team.

Free at far Post
-
Ffs defending like 8 years olds again
-
Fuck sake. Bad goal to concede
-
VAR check
-
i was thinking dont concede 1 or we concede 3 in ten mins
-
Bollocks
How many fucking times we gonna allow that
-
Bollocks!
-
Fucking hell our defending is SHIT.
-
FFS.
-
They were always going to score at some point.
-
Zaniolo on for Morgan during the check
-
where the fuck is the marking tho
-
Come on VAR, i've always loved you
-
Where the FUCK was Konsa?
-
I’d be furious if this was ruled out for us. That’s level from what I can see.
-
Offside. 2-0
-
We love conceding don't we?
-
Here we fucking go again.
-
thank fuck
-
Disallowed. Phew.
-
Yes
-
Not bollocks after all.
-
I’d be furious if this was ruled out for us
On an offside? Why?
-
Wow!!!
-
Where the FUCK was Konsa?
He was being a centre back rather than a right back.
Because he's, you know, a centre back.
Did it repeatedly against Brentford too.
-
Let off then. Like the very clearly obvious penalty that wasn't given to us. Good stuff.
-
Thank fuck for that
-
I’d be furious if this was ruled out for us
On an offside? Why?
If we scored that goal.
-
Thank you VAR.
-
Hope that's a wake up call. Tighten up FFS.
-
Now FUCKING WAKE UP at the back.
If we are this slack there against Arsenal, they're going to have a field day.
-
Thank god. Lucky that.
Honestly how u leaving him free with ao much space
-
For as demanding as Konsa is, especially after the Brentford match, he needs to do better.
-
Where the FUCK was Konsa?
He was being a centre back rather than a right back.
Because he's, you know, a centre back.
Did it repeatedly against Brentford too.
Yep. I've muttered to myself at least 3 times during this game that we need a right back on the pitch.
-
Piss poor defending
-
shut up shop now, get some fresh legs on
-
Got to be honest, that didn’t look offside to me. Might be a good idea if Konsa could mark someone!!
-
Dommage
-
I’d be furious if this was ruled out for us
On an offside? Why?
If we scored that goal.
I still don't quite understand, if you're offside then you're offside, us or them. It's the one decision I don't ever really get annoyed about.
-
Miles off

-
Even further off with the lines, no doubter
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GK6S7eybMAAzvSb?format=jpg&name=small)
-
Well off
-
Could drive a sodding bus between those lines
-
that challenge was weaker than the pen we should have got.
-
Emi saves
-
Luiz gonna get a red here if he does another foul. Might need to get him off
-
And again
-
The commentator keeps saying the name of Bob Mortimer"s cat, for some reason.

I'd refer you to those match threads where we had a late winner disallowed because a line on a screen deemed Watkins' toe-nail to be slightly ahead of the arse-cheek of the defender.
I'd be annoyed if we'd had that goal disallowed as well.
-
Get the impression that Rogers hasn't got the stamina (yet) to last a game at Prem/European pace and as he tires his concentration slips.
-
Atmosphere is more subdued than I expected, not up there with Inter or Aletico
-
These players have learnt nothing from the Brentford game. Once again gone to sleep after going 2-0 up.
-
Could drive a sodding bus between those lines
I though their forward was back in France for a minute, he was that far offside.
-
It's tight but given where he was and knowing that VAR exists he didn't need to push it that tight, there was more than enough space for him to take a half step to the right and still get in.
-
These players have learnt nothing from the Brentford game. Once again gone to sleep after going 2-0 up.
Yep, we look really half-arsed.
-
Our defence is a joke. Honestly too easy
-
Is Tim on the bench get him on!
-
Diaby on for Bailey
-
Moreno on for Digne
-
The commentator keeps saying the name of Bob Mortimer"s cat, for some reason.
Was thinking the same.
-
Yikes. Moreno.
-
Why villa park so quiet the last 10 mins ??
-
Jesus, not sure I'd be introducing Moreno when we're looking a bit iffy defensively.
-

Oh I remember that match thread.
-
Why villa park so quiet the last 10 mins ??
It’s because everyone as usual is shitting themselves rather than being ready to toast an easy win.

The players themselves were toasting an easy win against Brentford
-
Youri rightly booked done too many fouls today. That was a needless one
-
They kick and pull us at will, yet Doug and Yuri the only ones booked 🤷♂️
-
Youri rightly booked done too many fouls today. That was a needless one
Tielemans didn’t touch him.
-
Get the chaos panda on!
Who’s that?!
-
Youri rightly booked done too many fouls today. That was a needless one
Tielemans didn’t touch him.
He has done 3-4 fouls before that so you cant really argue a yellow wouldnt be coming
-
Get the chaos panda on!
Who’s that?!
Duran of course, it's a great description of him.
-
Tim and Chaos getting ready to come on
-
Get the chaos panda on!
Who’s that?!
Duraniolo
-
Youri rightly booked done too many fouls today. That was a needless one
Tielemans didn’t touch him.
He has done 3-4 fouls before that so you cant really argue a yellow wouldnt be coming
He shouldn’t be booked for not fouling someone regardless of what’s happened prior to that!
-
Liverpool really hate us don't they? 3-0 down at home now.
-
Youri and Ollie off
-

The pount i was making is he should have been booked prior so we cant really argue it.

Nota jota help
-
Fucking west ham.
-
West Ham losing. The buggers.
-
liverpool concentrating on the league then
-
That Tiago is a little shit
-
This is disastrous results for us tonight.
Fuck off liverpool you wankers
-
West Ham losing. The buggers.
TBF, that was on the cards. But if they keep the score low there, they could pull a Freiberg back at Lahndan.
-
2-1
-
Oh dear.
-
Their leftback caused that clash of heads by backing into Konsa when he was in the air, bit naughty for me.
-
fucking balls
-
I swear that these commentators want us to lose.
-
FFS
-
defence again
-
We'll just have to pull our socks up* and finish 4th
*pray Spurs go a bit Spursy
-
Taken our foot off and thats what happens. These guys never fucking learn
-
I cant see us going through now with a 1 goal lead
-
What has happened since we scored? Gone right off.
-
That truly awful defending
-
For fuck sake. Why can we not keep clean sheets.
-
I cant see us going through now with a 1 goal lead
That's the spirit!
-
Well we've been lucky so far and it was coming. Bloody annoying though, more shit defending.
-
We’ve been shit for so long now. This lot are going to batter us in France.
-
Absolute dog shit defending.
-
We can't defend for shit.
-
So soft every time a cross comes in.
-
Defence is fucking wank.
-
We’ve been shit for so long now. This lot are going to batter us in France.
I agree.
We've been lucky this evening and piss poor for weeks now but largely getting away with it.
-
Injuries, other results, shite refs does anything ever fucking go our way
-
I cant see us going through now with a 1 goal lead
That's the spirit!
We can't pretend we have played them off the park with home advantage.
They have looked much more dangerous than us from open play and we've scored two set prices.
-
This squad has such a weak mentality
-
I cant see us going through now with a 1 goal lead
That's the spirit!
Well we aint if we carrying defending this abysmally. Its seriously shocking
-
carlos aint Martin Laursen is he. Get stuff in ffs ..
-
Do away goals count double?
-
Why can we not defend fucking crosses.
-
I wouldn’t give you 50p for any of our defenders on current form. What the fuck has happened to Torres?
-
Unreal negativity.
Nice to see people don't think we can get a draw against fucking Lille.
-
Fair play to Lille. They came to play and win. It’s going to be really hard out there next week. A very good, well constructed team.
-
Injuries, other results, shite refs does anything ever fucking go our way
Its difficult to blame anyone but ourselves. The players have for the second game in a row completely switched off after going 2-0 up.
-
Do away goals count double?
No.
-
I cant see us going through now with a 1 goal lead
That's the spirit!
Well we aint if we carrying defending this abysmally. Its seriously shocking
We're so bad, we're awful! XYZ is shit, defense is shit, Emery got it wrong.
Just give it a rest, the match isn't even over.
-
Do away goals count double?
Nope luckily
-
Unreal negativity.
Nice to see people don't think we can get a draw against fucking Lille.
If we carry on defending like this for another 5 mins we might
-
We haven't put in a properly good performance since December. It's extremely concerning.
-
Let’s put it this way, it’ll take us to play much better than tonight to get through this tie. Really hope I’m wrong but, I don’t fancy us in the away leg.
-
We won’t go through with a one goal lead. We simply struggle to keep a clean sheet. We’ve had some good attacking moments but Martinez pretty much being our MOTM says a lot.
-
I cant see us going through now with a 1 goal lead

Unreal negativity.

"Fucking" Lille have been the better team tonight. Our Goalkeeper has been our best player by a country mile
-
Apparently our XG against since the turn of the year is one of the worst in the league. I can believe that.
-
This squad has such a weak mentality
Not having that. Two ACLs and a 5-1 loss on the first 48 hours of the season and here we are in April in the top 5 and a European quarter final
-
I’d always fancy us to score over there though.
-
Do away goals count double?
Did they ever?
-
Has Zani been booked yet?
-
We won’t go through with a one goal lead. We simply struggle to keep a clean sheet. We’ve had some good attacking moments but Martinez pretty much bring our MOTM says a lot.
TBF we gifted them nearly all of those chances with sloppy passing. They didn't even need to try to win possession.
-
I cant see us going through now with a 1 goal lead

-

Indeed. Bunch of absolute arse for ages.
-
Maurice Chevalier is a weak point
-
Do away goals count double?
Did they ever?
Not double as such, but a bonus if the match is drawn, which killed out campaigns regularly.
-
We won’t go through with a one goal lead. We simply struggle to keep a clean sheet. We’ve had some good attacking moments but Martinez pretty much being our MOTM says a lot.
Exactly but you cant say that or you will be told to give it a rest as you are being negative apparently
-
Because you have an honours in negativity.
-
carlos is hopeless in the air
-
Unreal negativity.
Nice to see people don't think we can get a draw against fucking Lille.
"Fucking" Lille have been the better team tonight. Our Goalkeeper has been our best player by a country mile
The point is it's not Real Madrid.
If course we can get a draw next week and go through.
-
Diego is fucking mince in the air for being a massive bloke

Spam 2-0 down now.

Going to Lille scared with our tail between our legs, fuck that.

Spam are 2 down as well ffs.

Rubbish

-

Two games in a row in crunch games, cruising at 2-0 and they've completely switched off in both.
-
Nearly 2 for Lille. Our defence is fucking shite.
-

Rubbish

We've defendered better than Lille, as the little numbers in the top left prove.
-
I would just take the win now to be honest.
-
Confused are we losing this or not?
-
carlos is hopeless in the air
In both boxes.
-
Confused are we losing this or not?
Winning 2-1 apparently.

Unreal negativity.

I haven't seen anything in our recent performances that suggest an improvement in the away game.

Emi booked

It’s all relevant. Pressed into mistakes, etc. Or sometimes just plain sloppy as we’ve seen with some of Carlos’ passing.

Diabys no Julian Joachim

We'll score over there, it's just a matter of how many we concede
-
Diabys no Julian Joachim
Forgot he was playing. Again.
-
The fact that Cash can't come back soon enough is a bit disconcerting in itself.
-
Emi booked
He's been great tonight but why is he timewasting? Does he think its only one leg?
-
The fact that Cash can't come back soon enough is a bit disconcerting in itself.
Isn't it just!

Yep. For all the talk of us having to be 'at the top of our game' this could've finished 6-4.

Just how I see it. We all see things differently, etc. This isn’t a recent occurrence. It’s been pretty regular for awhile. The one thing nobody can argue about is our clean sheets and goals conceded record this season. It’s not been great at all.

So, winning, yes? Come on just be happy

Not for some people. Some people are furious, for some reason.

Slender lead rode our luck but ill take it.
If we defend like that lille will trounce us. But im hoping unia wilm drill this into them. Any chance cash back for 2nd leg? Get konsa back at cb

The only English team to win this evening. Perspective.
