Aston Villa v Ajax UECL R16 2nd Leg. Villa Park 8:00pm KO. Pre Match Thread

[Drummond]

I think we need to go out there on Thursday and try to kick the ball into the net. Their net.

It'll never catch on.

be nice , we are currently at like 3.5 hours football now without a goal .

[TaxDodger]

This could be the best chance we ever have to win anything. If all goes well and we're playing Champions League/Europa League football regularly over the next five years then this is probably the only time we'll ever be in the last 16 of a tournament as favourites to win the thing.

[Nev]

There is no game after this, that's how we should approach it. We were controlled in the first leg but meek on Sunday. Attack the Holte first, get an early goal, fans onside and get a win. Then take that feeling onto Sunday.

3-1

[PeterWithe]

At some point we are going to have to give Tim a run of games to see if he has what it takes, bang him in for this one. They would. Cometh the hour etc..

McGinn, Watkins

Time for some big money signings to earn their corn.

Digne maybe needed more at West Ham. I'm sick of the sight of Tielemans so would drop him

[VillaTim]

Tielemans doesn't seem to do average , he's either sublime or ridiculously bad.

Just win.

Some were saying last Thursday that we shouldn’t go full strength so we could put out a strong team for the Spurs match. Even though we did the absolute minimum to win at Ajax, it certainly didn’t pay off at the weekend. We haven’t won anything in ages. We’ll probably finish 5th or, more unlikely 6th, so go for it to try to win the conference cup. Especially without McGinn for the next 3 league matches, I really don’t fancy our chances of 4th place so, why not try to win the cup and what will be will be in the league.

Emery didn't go full strength in Ajax , can't see him doing it on Thursday when we have a huge game on Sunday

Every cup game in every competition in every round, Tim honestly give it a rest.

Ok, fair enough.
