Olympiacos v Aston Villa Match Thread

[ChicagoLion]

Dougie has gone shit since he got that shit hair style. Anyone else noticed?

I mentioned it before it’s sort of a reverse Samson effect.

And it looks fkin shit.

[PaulWinch again]

The five goals we’ve conceded have been awful. We are terrible at defending sometimes. Probably to do with so many changes in the back four all season and nobody like Mings who takes control.

Cash is busy and a really enthusiastic player but he’s so frustrating. I know we have a lack of options but we seem to be relying on him to carve them open and he’s not got it in him.

He’s just not good enough as a wide player, never has been and never will be. He’s a right back or he shouldn’t play.

[KevinGage]

McGinniesta throws himself at the ball but that's not enough in that scenario.

Pisspoor allround.

[Ian.]

Konsa has been dreadful the last few games sadly. He’s had a great season, but he’s been rubbish of late.

Unfortunately many of them have hit a rut these last few weeks and we don’t have the personnel to do anything about it.

[Rigadon]

They must have some sort of voodoo curse on us.  Objectively from the 1.5 games there’s no way they’re three goals better than us.

No voodoo but yes, they’ve averaged their way past us so far.  An early goal and you never know.

And Cash trips over his laces. SMDH.

Get fcuking Tango on.

 I will not question Unai but I don’t understand that if he is so meticulous in his planning and analysis, why we play exactly the same way regardless of the opponent?

[Demitri_C]

I reckon no subs then when games lost around 60 he will give the kids a chance as games lost

A massive opportunity to win a trophy and we totally fucked it. So disappointing.  Been very little fight in both legs

There's a reason his career improved when he moved back from the wing. Neither Cash or Digne are wing backs.

The players we need to play in different ways are all injured.

So you are questioning him?

It’s like when someone says “I’m not being funny, but”

[TonyD]

We just can't play with Bailey and Diaby in the same team. I wish Emery would stop doing it. Konsa at right back as well, FFS.

Who knew?

[Rigadon]

It’s been one of the assured away performances in Europe.  It’s just not falling for us tonight and it’s falling for them nearly all the time.  This is not tactical.

Ok…it’s a question ?

[ASHTONVILLA]

They have given it a decent effort. It's very unlikely we go through, but I at least want us to make it uncomfortable for them with an early goal second half.

Cash has done pretty well playing out of position, and Bailey has worked his bollocks off. Obligatory stupid booking from Douglas.
