My prediction for our initial five penalty takers in the shoot out for only the 2nd Euro semi final in our history would be Luiz, Watkins, Tielemans, Cash, and Torres.
I'm sure they will all be practising.

I wouldnt let Cash anywhere near it, i think it might be wild and high, Waddlesque, I’d go with what you said but have McGinn instead of Cash

Emi Martinez would roll it down the centre and it would barely cross the line. He would turn away and celebrate before it had got half way to the goal.

Diego and Zaniolo were superb yesterday, but have been pretty poor hitherto.

Gives Unai an interesting dilemma with Cash likely to be fully fit and available along with Dougie.

I think this will be a 1-1 draw.

Massive, massive game as we strive to match the achievements of the '96 team. Also think it'll be a draw to see us through.

I'd not be surprised to see a performance similar to yesterday's. We're starting from a goal up, we'll be more prepared to soak it up in the first half (hopefully in possession rather than out of), and then dictate the second half. If we do score early I think we'll then get another, and all of a sudden they're needing three. 2-1 Villa on the night.

Maybe edit the opening post to remind folk of the early kick-off time, (5.45pm).

There will be none of that nonsense.

Just be consistent Villa.  If we are anywhere near our best, we should have too much for Lille.
