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

[Steve67]

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.

You DO NOT rest players in a semi-final. Pick the strongest team we have available.

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.

are you taking another break?

Tried to book tickets today but just missed out on the 'Lower Grounds' ones. Have put in an enquiry for the cheapest of the hospitality offerings to take my 10 year old, as I promised him I'd try and get a ticket. Hopefully I get that, as tghe next level up will be the thick end of 400 quid and I can't justify it at the moment.

Interestingly the 12 person boxes in the Holte are only about two grand, which is not as much as I thought it would be. Might book a few of those next season as can write it off as entertaining. No chance for this game though, my naughty American customer is a month late with a £300k bill and things are tight.

Think evebn with Olsen in goal we win this comfortably 4-1 Watkins, Rogers, McGinn and Duran.

We need to issue them one of those famous funeralings in the first leg to take the pressure off a vociferous second leg. 3 goal lead please Villa.

[DrGonzo]

If it isn't Konsa/Torres at CB I'll eat anybody's hat that they wish to post to me.

[TopDeck113]

Despite all the injuries, etc. I'm strangely optimistic.  A performance to go down in Villa Park folklore and a 3-0 win. Watkins (2) and Duran putting the icing on the cake.

Watch bloody Daniel Podence go and score for them! That would delight the Dogheads! This isn't going to be easy at all.

[SamTheMouse]

We have so many injuries, I'm starting to wonder whether Atairos have come on board to build us not a new stadium, but a hospital at Bodymoor.

It's going to be tough and may not be pretty, but I'm hopeful we can sneak a narrow win. Suspect it'll be like Lille again.

[Axl Rose]

Watch bloody Daniel Podence go and score for them! That would delight the Dogheads! This isn't going to be easy at all.

Fortunately for us, Daniel Podence or no Daniel Podence, Olympiakos are nowhere near as good as Lille.

I think we've already beaten the best opposition in the competition.

[London Villan]

Is chambers in the euro squad?

[PaulTheVillan]

4-1 win.

Get the advantage in and half a foot in the final.

[Jon Crofts]

Team picks itself.

3-1.

[Drummond]

We're worrying about Daniel Podence?

But from Villafirst's post it's obvious that we have not exorcised our inner demons.
