Aston Villa v Olympiacos - UECL Semi Final First Leg Pre Match

[Brazilian Villain]

We'll blow them away in the first half.

4-1 Villa.

FTF 

Hope you're right, it would be nice not to have an eye on the second leg as we face into Brighton.

[Hookeysmith]

I have been positive all season, even after losses and dross defending like Saturday, but i have a horrible feeling this may be a bit too much for our squad that is getting thinner and more tired as each game comes at us.

Really hope they can continue to surprise us with their determination

This is why i wish we gave abit more game time to some of the kids in case this scenario. Kesler has played what 10 mins at most and i think kellyman less

We may now need to throw them in deep end with minimal experience

[Somniloquism]

Is Zaniolo definitely out?

No idea but he hasn't played since his injury in the second Lille match and normally Emery mentions their closeness to availability in the weekend matches in his press conferences, yet just instantly ruled out Moreno and Zani.

We've got a maximum of 6 games left. Without wishing to anger the already clearly miffed gods of Premier League squad fitness, the one position we've got good cover in is defence. It's going to take both Cash and Konsa being injured at the same time for us to need to throw Kesler in there.

cue them running into each other in training this week. Nice work...

4-0 rout to put this one to bed early.

I know one thing: On loan doghead Daniel Podence is one of their leading goalscorers this season. He's been a thorn in our side a few times before. Be just like him to score against us again!
This game will be tough with so many injuries now, especially no Martinez. A nervy 2-1 to Villa.......

[Footy-Vill]

I wonder if Carlos and Lenglet will play as centre backs with Pau left side

Olsen
Cash, Carlos, Lenglet, Pau
Diaby, Luiz, Iroegbunam, McGinn
Duran, Watkins

Something like this with Bailey ,Konsa and Digne rested.

[Footy-Vill]

I do have a feeling Gaucci or back up keeper will be needed.
Just have a feeling Olsen gets injured and Gaucci comes on for his debut!

I wonder if Carlos and Lenglet will play as centre backs with Pau left side

Olsen
Cash, Carlos, Lenglet, Pau
Diaby, Luiz, Iroegbunam, McGinn

No Rogers ?

[Demitri_C]

We cant even do the standard two keepers on bench now as we got so many out

[eamonn]

Why would we suddenly try Pau at left-back?!

[RamboandBruno]

I wonder if Carlos and Lenglet will play as centre backs with Pau left side

Olsen
Cash, Carlos, Lenglet, Pau
Diaby, Luiz, Iroegbunam, McGinn
Duran, Watkins

Why would we rest players in the clubs first European semi final in 42 years

[Footy-Vill]

I don't want to write or discuss anymore here.
I just hope dream of champion league 4th place and that Europa trophy happens
Up The Villa.
