Aston Villa v Legia Warsaw Post Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

So, still need a point to guarantee winning the group.

[Bad English]

Shame Bailey's effort didn't cross the line. Oh well.

[lovejoy]

What’s the criteria in a tie? Are we level on head to head now? Is it GD?

Legia win if we finish level on points. A point against Mostar we top the group. Legia don't beat Alkmaar, we top the group even if we lost to Mostar.

[Brazilian Villain]

A decent win, worst case scenario we need a point in the last game to top the group. Very pleased to see Moreno back and playing well.

[villadelph]

First half, meh.. second half, much better!

I thought Konsa, Dougie, Moreno and Duran did well. Now lets finish the job.

Fat lines.

Yep, if they win and we lose and the margin in 1 of the games is more than a single goal then we'd be 2nd.

They beat us 3-2 at their place so... I don't know.

[PaulWinch again]

Got the job done. Just need a point to guarantee top spot.

It's head to head, not GD. Legia scored more goals in our 2 ties so would be above us.

[Somniloquism]

Yes, will be GD and then goals scored. There is only 3 goals in each. But we should be able to get a point in Mostar.

[nigel]

Thought Olsen was pretty composed.
Didn’t stand a chance with the goal and almost had an assist

no they didn't, we both scored 4.


I was slightly wrong though, it only works with a 3 goal swing if they win in a high scoring games.

Fat lines.

Do the lines have to be a certain width?
