Aston Villa v Brugge Post-Match Thread

[AV84]

They mentioned a stat before the game, but I think that's now 3 QFs from 3 appearances in the top flight European competition.

We're in the QF, of course we could. I'd go with Barca as favourites

TBH, all the teams still in it could win it. I can't see one "easy" team for the opposition involved and predicting the Semi-finalists is beyond me.

In poker they say if you can’t spot the fish (weakest player) at the table, it’s probably you.

Good job we aren't playing Poker then because I would put our team and manager up against any of them. We have already beaten two this season.

One surely?

Forgot Arse away was a draw this year.

Top 8 UCL league team makes it easily into the top 8 knockout stage….nothing to see here folks, just normal business.

Think its at the point where there are no easy teams.  I wouldnt fancy playing a team managed by Unai. 

[Stu82]

Some of Morgan’s flicks and passes were superb.
Asencio was excellent.
Mings played really well too.

Bring on PSG.

[Beard82]

At times i thought Mings looked at his peak.  His shot, and pass in the box were brilliant.

Everyone played well - hopefully without leaving second gear.  UTV

[Somniloquism]

Rashford and Asensio must have been having bets on who is better at controlling the high balls superbly. Rashford for Mings chance and the second goal. Asensio for his chance tipped onto the post.

I thought that Maatsen was fantastic tonight - it is incredible that we are now in the quarterfinals- let’s hope that we can beat Paris UTV

[caster troy]

Given where we were not so long ago it’s hard to believe we just cruised into the last 8 of the Champions League bringing on Asensio and Torres as subs.

[Baldy]

Loads of class defenders, class midfielders and class forwards. Plus a class manager with a game plan.

I wouldn't want to play us.

Onwards and upwards.

You sure?

The key (apart from the subs) was playing McGinn centrally in the 2nd half. He was ineffectual further up and the pitch.

Very selective stats.
