Olympiacos v Aston Villa Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm embarrassed by the people saying we're embarrassing. We're not that in any way. We're just all out of energy to play at the levels we need to.

I think you are right, we're out of energy, but conceding 6 goals against this utterly mediocre side and limping out of a European semi final - that is embarassing.

To get so close and then totally shit the bed.

[JUAN PABLO]

I’m still very proud of our team. We’ve been well beaten by a very good team. We can say we are tired and injuries and blah blah but they’ve been an incredibly effective opponent and deserve to beat us.

watch them get beat 5 0 in the final

This. I feel bad for our players. This has shades of euro 2000

[coreyfeldman]

Worry a player or two may lose discipline now these remaining minutes.

You are obsessed

[Ducksworthy]

It’s not over yet but.. it’s over.

It’s a meaningless observation at this point but we just haven’t got the squad left at this stage of the season. I feel very sorry for them all as they’ve given everything to get this far on fumes. Rotten luck with injuries.

Never mind, it’s been fun and I haven't gone as mental at anything in football as I did the Lille penalties in a very long time.

[algy]

Fucking hell, Billa.

Ah well, it's been a fun adventure.

[Edvard Remberg]

At least,  the "why not play Tim instead" has been answered

[Monty]

They look absolutely shattered.

[Risso]

Three shots on target all evening. What a load of crap.

[DrGonzo]

They’re the best team we have had in years. If you can’t support them then why don’t you F off and support the blues?

[DB]

Injuries and number of games have taken it's toll. They look dead on their feet.

[Bad English]

I feel sorry for our goal monitor who has spent all evening waiting to announce a goal before anyone else. And what does he get? Fuck all!

[JUAN PABLO]

we have had the energy to have the ball all the time . just brain dead in the final ball.

Several times recently he's shown he's miles off this level

[TopDeck113]

Let's hope that acts as the steepest of learning curves for next season's European campaign.  Injuries and fatigue? Absolutely. But over these two legs, too many of supposed top performers have been miles off.
