This is one of the most uncomfortable Villa performances I've seen in a while.

Bizarrely enough, I think we’ll score in the 2nd half.

I don't even think Lille have been particularly good, we just look rattled and keep looking to play it back to Emi all the time.

The only good thing about that half is it's only 1-0

It's a 4-4-2, but Luiz and Tielemans are flat and neither can get the ball going forward. Not to mention our right flank doesn't have a winger or a competent forward to use the space. Need to find a way to get the CMs higher up and turned to goal so we can get Rogers, Ollie and Diaby involved.

Well that was a 2/10 shocker of a half. Useless.

I dont even think we look rattled. We just looks absolutely pants so far.

0 shots at all. Pretty poor all round
