Aston Villa v Olympiacos Match Thread

Time for Moussaka Diaby to serve up a tasty dish.

Olympiacos a bit thrown by the fact we haven't named Keftedes in our starting 11.

[PeterWithesShin]

Olympiacos starting XI: Tzolakis; Rodinei, Restos, Carmo, Ortega, Iborra, Chiquinho, Hezze, Fortounis, El Kaabi, Podence.

Bit concerned with that back four tbh but lets hope unais got it right.

Torres being saved for Saturday

[PeterWithesShin]

Doug makes his 200th Villa appearance, Diaby his 50th.

Let’s go get a lead. Ignore the lightweight clowns who have never seen us lift a trophy

Is he playing for someone else? Fucking hell…

Pleased with that line up. Torres needs a rest - doubt Bailey will last the game but good to have Z and BigJohn on the bench.

I think Cash and Diaby are key as blown hot and cold this season. Massive chance.

Seeing Rogers name on the team sheet takes me back to the late 80s and a certain David Platt tinge of excitement.

[DrGonzo]

That's an inexperienced bench.  We best go hard and make sure of this in the first 60 minutes.

[Demitri_C]

Now thats a away crowd. Bloody hell

[Somniloquism]

The official press team sheet from UEFA has some weird guesswork of player places.

[Brazilian Villain]

Think Virgin Media used the same source, as they had Konsa on the left and Lenglet on the right as well.

Dear Aston Villa

Please come out fast and aggressive. Don’t give them a moment on the ball. Let’s tear into them from the start. We’ve had so many false dawns in the past 3, even 4 decades. Seize this opportunity with both hands.
