This isn't a disgrace or embarrassing or anything like that. It was clear from the Brighton game, this team simply has nothing left to give.

Oh well. Experience for next year and Emery will hopefully fix it.

I totally agree. Managing a European campaign isn't easy and its the first time for many of our players. Good prep for next season when chasing a nicer trophy.
That's the spirit! I still think we've got one more results in us. Down to 2 games now!

Credit José  Mendilibar but disappointed to have to listen to all Olympiaco talk by Crouch and Hutton the focus and analysis should be on Villa.
When the likes of the big six lose they always talk about them
Lets have some more focus on Villa TNT

Top 4 was alway the aim given we had a chance. Big summer of ins and outs and hoping Spurs keep being Spurs for at least one game.

Agree but
There will be repercussions on some of these players for next season

Dare I say it, no plan B?  For instance move the ball quickly with purpose?

Was going to take a miracle after their early goal. Strong first half but so flat in the second. Congrats to Olympiacos, comfortably beating an EPL team over 2 legs is a fair achievement.

As for tonight, there really was no need to play a back 5, wing backs wasted nearly every ball they got in a decent area. Midfield two started well but barely broke sweat after half time. Bailey kept going despite a few heavy knocks. Diaby was really poor and Watkins was well held. Duran was a prat when he came on, justifying Emery's decision not to start him perhaps.

Put that mouse hand on ice mate!

Odd thing to be so focused on tonight.
A metaphor for the fact that we haven't scored is odd?
