Aston Villa v Brugge Match Thread

[Chris_Jephcott]

I would like to see a little bit more intensity in the 2nd half.

Not much, no point in busting a gut - but I wouldn’t like Bruges to score early in the 2nd half

Less than scintillating. But we're significantly closer to the next round than we were at kick-off.

Rodgers looks knackered

[Mossie Hennebry]

Thank fuck for HT.

[AV84]

It's boring, but who cares? We're headed for the quarter-final if it stays like this.

Very cold in Birmingham tonight. If I was at the match I'd probably be a bit annoyed at the performance, but from the comfort of my couch, it's fine.

Brugge have to find a way to score twice, we don't have to do anything.

A very forgottable 45 minutes but main thing is we are not behind

[Chip Butty 111]

The plan was clearly get to half time in control of the tie. Can see nothing more exciting than 1:0. Quarter final 2nd leg will be a different animal

[PaulWinch again]

The positive is we’re still going through, but Christ. Very ordinary.

[taylorsworkrate]

Doing whats needed but painful to watch..

Get the negative tactics but once they go down to 10 men just kill the game with a couple of goals.

[Rigadon]

Grind core

Rodgers looks knackered

I was thinking the same about Rogers.

[VillaTim]

Brugges will have to go for it second half . The game should start to open up soon as they get desperate. Might be the subs who win this again.

[BoVillan esq]

Playing with fire, hopefully as the 2nd half goes on the less energy they have to attack with, first 15 will be crucial.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We've generally been shit first half this season. Tonight should come as no surprise.
