Aston Villa v Olympiacos - Post-Match Thread

Perhaps the best indication of the remarkable progress we have made is that so many of the posters on here (and I am one of them ) believe that we can still win this tie.

Is Youri going to be fit for next Thursday?

To an extent but people will always talk themselves into the unlikely being possible. It is possible that we can to turn it round, but to win it outright we need to score a minimum of 3 and then not concede (if that’s all we score). That is a big ask, seeing as we’re not great on keeping clean sheets. It’s doable, but it’s going to take a big improvement in performance.

If they can win by two at Villa Park, we can by two over there.

[PaulWinch again]

Of course we can, but it’s a big ask and we need to be a hell of a lot better. Hopefully the pressure will get to them, like I think it did to us.

[Olneythelonely]

We also don’t need to win it outright, by 3 goals. Winning by 2 and then on penalties isnt a massively unlikely scenario. If we weren’t so knackered, I’d feel quite confident.

I firmly believe we'll make the final and haven't had to talk myself into anything.

It wasn’t a pointed comment, it’s just what people sometimes do. I think it was you who said you hadn’t been nervous in a game all season, prior to the second half at Chelsea, so I’ve no doubt you’re always confident about results.

He's too busy looking for our Scorchios to have time to get nervous.

[PaulWinch again]

Indeed! Hopefully there are plenty to come in the next couple of games.

No-one is talking themselves into anything. Some fans are still confident we can do it. What's wrong with that? Just because you think it's impossible, don't presume others should think the same way.

[PaulWinch again]

Blimey calm down. I didn’t mean everyone (also you don’t know that “no one” is). I also didn’t mean it as a criticism, it’s quite a natural reaction to a tough situation.

[Clampy]

Who did you mean then? It was a very silly thing to post really. We're two goals behind, not five.

[PeterWithesShin]

At least if were 5 behind it would be a bit of a fun challenge rather than the cakewalk it will be.

[PaulWinch again]

Apologies I will aim to post nothing that doesn’t fit within your parameters of acceptability in future.
