Brugge v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Crap game. 
Great result!!!!

[Meanwood Villa]

We arre a better team than we have shown through much of the season. We just need to prove to ourselves sometimes. This season, especially away from home we haven't believed enough. This is a massive result for so many reasons.

Two cup quarter finals now. Who'd have thought?

Nearly but not quite.

Job much done but not yet complete

Yeah we're not there yet

[Baldy]

It looked like we had settled for a draw and then won.

Only top teams can do that.

Far from over though, they created too many easy chances for my liking!!

Konsa, superb again btw.

[UK Redsox]

Mods…..we need a merge

Obviously it's not the most important thing, but how much money do we get for a win, compared to drawing the game? Isn't it quite a lot?

Nothing in the knockouts, just the prize for getting through (which would be €12.5m).

That'll do nicely.  Mings our motm. What a clearance. Watching that header first time around i couldn't understand why it didn't go in!

[Brend'Watkins]

3-1 flattered us but we were deserved winners. Bruges are a decent team who found it easy to cut through us. Kamara will give that midfield more nous and drive in the coming games. Thought Cash was off it in defence but on it in attack. We have a penalty taker of very high class again.

Kamara gliding out of defence, clever pass, rogers still couldn’t find a Villa player…great move.

Agreed, I thought he made all the difference. Up until that point our stodgy pedestrian build op from the back was kiliing us. You can't paly like that with Watkins in the team, it makes him look terrible.

Just think how good we will be when we play well. Onwards and upwards!!

[PaulWinch again]

It was still a game where we let the team we’re playing have too many chances, but we rode our luck and got a massive result. Unai needs to calm down a bit, we don’t need him getting banned.

[Somniloquism]

The last time Aston Villa beat Belgian opposition in a European competition was in 1982…

Someone here mentioned that we get £9m if we make the next round. Not sure if there are individual win bonuses as well.

Fair enough. We'll just have to have that then.

Yes that cutting through, including right at the end is concerning. But with Kamara back and hopefully Onana soon will help.
