Olympiacos v Aston Villa Match Thread

Fuck off ref

[villadelph]

You'd have money on Diaby scoring there, said no-one ever.

Very disappointed with Diaby overall recently

I said it in his thread months ago, but he has no idea what's going on.. truly. Bailey turned it over a lot last year, but at least he would get into decent positions and contribute to the build up. Diaby is not good when combining going forward, has a hard time beating a defender 1v1 and makes clumsy mistakes. At Leverkusen they just led him into space and let him fly up and down the right side. We don't play that way.

It's painful to watch and I'm hoping he can come good next year, but man is he just plain awful sometimes. No fire, no passion, no strength physically or mentally.. just moseying around, aimlessly without a care.

Unbelievable

Played Ollie

How is that not a corner?

No idea, looked one to me.

[Villatillidie1982]

We are playing well, we basically own the ball, but this lot are going to park the bus and then stick an oil tanker in front of it now, and they can do that mostly because of one second of switching off tonight on our part.

I think we are playing pretty well too. If we only needed one I'd be feeling confident.

They are letting us have the ball but we have done nothing with it

Comedy...

FUCK'S SAKE

[astonvilla82]

Why have we resorted to pumping high balls from free kicks

[Villan82]

Whatever happens it's a great run in Europe. We were a long way off that not so long ago.

This. The misery merchants (some of whom were not apparently bothered about the Conference) should remember where we were a few seasons ago.

I have no idea how people can slag these players off week in week out, best villa team in 28 years, hands down.

I don't know how anyone could have not been bothered about the Conference, it's a European compettion!

It's been great, which is why I'm so pissed off we've been so fucking piss poor in these two games. Utter shit.
