Istanbul, Weds 20th, 8pm ko.
4-0.
-
Win it please.
-
We can win. We should win. We need to play really well.
If we do this with the right focus then we will.
Mr David Woodhall always said (I paraphrase) that v Leeds in 1996 we turned up, sparred with them, and beat them. And looked like we belonged.
-
Ollie to win it so we can shamelessly steal Man Utd's Solskjær song.
-
We've got all the tools to do it. 2-0 to the Villa, and tears will flow.
-
It feels like this squad will be broke up in the next year or two. SJM and Mings lifting that trophy would be an epic journey for them and us.
-
We needed that win tonight - simplu for momentum. Looks fucking turn up end this trophy drought and being it home
Pleaee villa 🙏
-
if we play like today, we win.
-
We don't do trophies. I refuse to believe, that way lies bad emotions.
-
A performance half as good as the home leg against Forest, or the 2nd half tonight and we not only win on Wednesday, we smash Freiburg by 4 or 5
-
So to those Bundesliga watchers on here, what do we know about Freiburg?

They're not very good (by Premier League standards). They're missing their most creative player. They don't sit back, they attack and leave gaps just as Emery would want.
So 3-1 Freiburg it is.
-
This needs to be savored and considered, you have to make a judgement call as to how many goals we are going to hammer them with to get this right.
-
I don’t think they’re mugs who have had a one off good season. I think about 7 of their first team came through the academy and the captain has been playing for them since they were in the 4th division or something, been on an upwards trajectory for a few years. They’re currently 7th now and a long way off European qualification so this is their last chance to qualify for next season.

Haven't a clue about Freiburg football wise, what they actually like

Indeed - my fear is already rising. But, get it right and we’ll get it done.

Who the fuck voted for Freiburg?
-
legion?

Who the fuck voted for Freiburg?
Who do you think?

Win please Villa, to shut the Bluenose Lines up!

2-0 I assume?
-
I don't know, I'm frightening myself thinking about it. Gonna watch the Saw franchise to take my mind off it.
-
My only concern is it is "away" as in not at VP. We have seen what we can do at home when the crowd is up for it. But away we don't know. Plus point is when Unai does unleash Villa, we are unplayable and there is no reason why we should be on a leash in this game as very few of the starting players will be on the pitch at Citeh.
-
Onana back do we think? Add him to tonight's team and will we win. As long as we are not complacent.
3 1
Watkins, Rogers, Buendia
-
I’ve a sneaking feeling he’ll be ok for the final for an hour.
-
We are better with Onana. I hope the side we pick is the absolute best we can field.
-
Problem is, after tonight, we're so losing this.
Ah well. We have CL at least!
-
We have been the best team in this competition by a distance. Time to show it in the final. Little bit worried about likes of Cash who is running on empty. Could do with Onana getting the boots on.
We have a lot of aces, Ollie back to his best, Buendia in the best form of his career, Rogers better. And we have McGinn
-
McGinn …..enough said
-
I think Onana will be back too.
-
McGinn …..enough said
This for me, absolutely sensational atm. If he is on it we will have too much for them. Rogers and Watkins amongst the goals again is a huge positive also. Watkins is playing like a man possessed, and Little Emi in the form of his life also. 2:0 Villa
