Young Boys vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[paul_e]

Excellent performance once we got used to the pitch, all 5 across the midfield were superb and completely controlled the game.

[Risso]

We've got some extremely talented footballers now. Tielemans and Rogers to name but two, an absolute joy to watch.

[Bad English]

I didn't mention him on the thread. Maybe if he wasn't so think skinned he could take the suggestion from Dave, which i've tried to do.

People can see what you write and they will judge if it is correct or not. I am confident they will see through your slurs.

They can certainly see you've been banging on for over a year, that you act like a baby the second you get a fraction of what you dish out back, and are the most thin skinned hypocrite around. Maybe stop being such a weirdo stalker.

Haha! People read posts like this and make decisions about what is right and what is what.

Good night!

Great start to the tournament. Thanks to PWS for doing the work on match and post-match threads. Good job!

You were a bit slow on the reporting of goals but you tried. That is the main point.

How does Kamara get back into this team with Tielemans and Onana looking a brilliant combination?

[Rigadon]

Easy.  We are a proper team these days and will give every team (and I mean every single one) a game in this league.

Great angle of the panda finish

What a player he is

Empty seats at the San Siro tonight - never take this for granted!

Brilliant performance, we absolutely cruised that and could have scored more. I got all teary when I heard the music before kick off thinking about Gary Shaw and some of the Villa players especially John McGinn looked teary.

After the first 15-20 minutes I thought it was total domination then again the opposition wern't up to much. No idea how Watkins goal was disallowed but overall just so happy with the result and performance.

[Small Rodent]

Our Captain was a little loose on passes occasionally. Not every ball has to be a defence splitting through-ball, but he more than made up for it in all other areas of play.

Referee was mostly fine. VAR and the officials were atrocious. I kind of understand the second goal being written off. But to screw up a substitution. The player we wanted to sub could have indicated he was carrying a niggle but had to continue.

I felt nothing with the “anthem” because it is an insignificant dirge, but loved us being in this competition.

The strength in depth is incredible now and there will be opportunities for everyone.

[PaulWinch again]

The sub thing was really poor. The VAR call on the second was fair enough, if annoying.

[Clampy]

Great start. Thought the first goal got us going and there was only one outcome after that.

Pat Nevin on BBC:
I hope people don't underestimate it [Aston Villa]s result] - it's a tough place to come.
You need to have the right attitude and you need to be clever about it. Some brilliant performances, Rogers fantastic, Duran made a difference, Watkins looked sharp, Ramsey as well. Onana, what a goal.
All the way through the team you are thinking well done.
A very grown-up and mature performance all round.

Just been allowed to walkout, on bus into town. Great day so far.
