PSG v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

2-0 down. That’s not easy but not impossible. We have to believe.

[PhilVill]

Tranmere '94 were a better side than PSG, we can do it! Shit or bust at VP 😎

[Percy McCarthy]

No problem with the selection or tactics. Feel we could have been a bit calmer in possession at times. Great goal by us.

[Smirker]

It's not defeatest to say that we won't win the second leg by three clear goals. They're too good and I can't see them not scoring. We're not winning 4-1, 5-2, or whatever.

Yes it is.

They could have a man sent off early? Could get injuries? Or we could just play a very good game. Of all the unlikely shit that can happen in football, Villa winning 2 or 3-0 at home is nowhere near the top of that list.

So, reality check, we was always going to come up against somebody as good as this at the latter stage of the competition, Villa are still building and aspiring to get to where the likes of PSG are, we are 2-0 down, its going to take everything and more to get back into this next week but it could be done, it will need the players to be right at there most tenacious, and it will need the Villa park faithful to make it as uncomfortable as possible for PSG.

We have a manager that can work that, we have players that can push that forward and we have one of the best crowds in the world, to really make this difficult, its not quite over yet.

On another side to this, Arsenal play one way, cannon fodder for these...

They are a top side but we will have a packed VP. The 3rd goal was a killer but an early goal and you never know.

They are very good though.

I feared these much more than Real Madrid and Arsenal. These are a quality outfit now and I just don't see us outscoring them by 2 goals.

It's horses for courses at this stage and these just seemed like a team who could and would cause us problems more than probably all others, along with strangely Inter Milan.

No time to play

[PaulWinch again]

I think the most disappointing part is when we had the ball we played beneath ourselves a lot of the time. I get that pressure and their press makes it hard but we are better than we showed on the ball. If there is to be any chance we have to be so much better when we have the ball in the next game.

[Mellin]

They were excellent tonight and the third goal has reduced our odds massively, BUT...

They play great football. They're a very good, confident side. But if we score first at a rocking Villa Park, with their history, the mind will start to do funny things. It isn't over. It's unlikely, but we're still in the tie.

[Somniloquism]

Attacking wise they are tremendous, but we showed a few times that defensively they are suspect. The question is will we punish them 2 more times then they will punish us.

[nordenvillain]

Third goal killed the tie and honestly I can't be angry about it. PSG look the real deal and it's a credit that we hung in there for as long and as well as we did.

Having to play a second leg is going to be really tough and I just hope it doesn't ruin our league and FA cup campaigns

This

I dont know whats going to be funnier - us knocking PSG out, or Real knocking Arse out.

[PeterWithesShin]

This isn't Tranmere though, they were a 2nd division side. This is possibly the best side in Europe that just schooled us like no one has for a long time.

We have a chance but I don't think we can do it simply because they are better than us.

[DB]

We have to chase the game...we commit going forward, theybwill pick us off.

Yes Pat Nevin was much better than that Dembele fellow
