Aston Villa - 2 Lille - 1 Post match chit chat

We've played them, Emery and the team have seen them up close now, plans will be made.

Yes sure. They were neat and moved the ball quickly, constantly switching direction and when we allowed them to do that we were finding it difficult to cope. So that nonsense must not be allowed to happen next week. When we did dominate them we scored and should have scored more. Just don't let them have so much possession.

Konsa Carlos Torres Digne was back four when we beat Man City and Arsenal without conceding a goal so it can work!

We had Kamara sat in front of them then, though. His absence is telling, whatever some of us might think of his form pre-injury.

A win but another game where Ollie's comment about us not playing like a big club and not closing the game down could apply.

You mean like Liverpool?

Or Arsenal, or Man Citeh.

Cash may well be fit by the sound of it, which would help.

I’ve only just found out away goals is no longer a thing in the event of a draw !!

Something while I remember. There seemed to be new catering people in the UT. The quality of pre-match cheesy chips and Villa dogs were very much improved, as was the service. Professional, almost.
