Brugge v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Witton Warrior]

Just soaking it in - all those "Champions League your 'aving a laff" taunts rammed down collective throats
Well done you Villa boys!!!! Hope all the travelling have a marvellous evening

[pauliewalnuts]

Rio Ferdinand made a good point - at this level pretty much everyone is a good side and you’ll always have chances creates against you, you just need the mentality to keep calm, take your chances when you get them, and see it out.

Think back, for example, to how many times you used to see Ferguson’s Man United look largely second best and somehow still manage to win.

Great result. Was convinced Mings didn't make a touch from the header and it was going wide  anyway (couldn't understand McCoist raving on about it). Happy to be proved wrong . I'm still not sure it was a penalty, put it this way if we'd have given it away I'd be pissed off. Anyway glass 3/4 full , roll on Villa Park.

Looked like the slightest of touches, either hitting the post or going in

[Brend'Watkins]

Fantastic result, Mings more than made up for his handball there last time.

That was intentional. He looked at how the draw would play out and acted accordingly. The man’s a genius.

surely the 2nd leg is a formality now.

I hope so but given what Brugge did to Atalanta we can’t have that attitude next week

[PaulTheVillan]

Result far more important then the performance.

Cash did well when he came on.

Ming very good.

Watkins should have started.

Nah, it was stonewall, just really stupid from the defender.

Ha. You beat me to it. It's a nailed on pen for me and the defender just put his head straight in his hands. No complaints from them. paul.e saw it differently obviously.  It's weird how people can look at something like that and see it totally differently.

Thats Numberwang !!! .. sorry I'll get me coat.

[Billy Walker]

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?

It's only half-time in tonight's tie.

[Somniloquism]

I hope so but given what Brugge did to Atalanta we can’t have that attitude next week

They sat back and hit Atalanta on the break because they had the lead. That won't work, although they have shown they have the players and plays to get some good chances anyway.

Redemption

Legend!

[Dante Lavelli]

Saddvillan - impressive.

Don’t have the data but isn’t there a coefficient payment too?  Somehow Man city made more than us at the end of the group games because they had a better coefficiency from previous years.  from memory we were around 70m at the end if the group.

[Demitri_C]

We need to go strongest possible and put in 110χ next week. We have a big break after that game so we can rest up afterwards.

Villa park will hopefully  be rocking next week
