PSG v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

They lost away to Arsenal 2-0 , away to Bayern 1-0 and at home to A Madrid 2-1, so it's not over.

Emery will have a plan but every player will need to give everything and the crowd too.

They did, but they were playing nowhere near this level. We’ll need them to drop off and we’ll need to play out of our skins. It’s not impossible of course, but it’s going to take something remarkable.

Thought they were brilliant as I thought they would be. Threats all over the pitch.
But there's no way I'm giving up on the team as there's always a chance.
So if anyone thinks its over, fill your boots, but I can't agree because so much can still happen.

Our game plan was clearly to keep it tight - it very nearly worked really well - if we go out due to there 3 world class goals I can live with it.   If they come to Villa park and play at that level again - I can live with it.

They were brilliant - the only time I have seen a team play better was when we beat Man City last season.  They were that good. 

Clearly its a long shot - but there's a chance:
- We can score against these - they dont look amazing defensively - we will clearly have to be more aggressive but fancy us to score
- We are markedly better at home than away
- Absolutely no pressure on us - we have no choice but go and give it a go
- Maybe they think the tie is already won - you can see at the end they think there in the Semis
- The game was lost in our inability to handle there press - hopefully we'll have a plan for it
- They needed 3 world class goals to beat us - other than that we handled them well

All I will say is remember - 1994 Tranmere 3 Aston Villa 1 we were given no chance 😉

We also have a bat shit goal keeper this time around.

And it was Tranmere bloody Rovers

NeededMings. I don’t think we concede three with him in the side.

Those goals don’t get stopped by Ty. Centre backs weren’t the problem. Disasi really struggled, was constantly getting beaten and giving the ball away.

The 1st 2 were just superb strikes, it wouldn’t have made a difference

He's not a full back, end of story.

Can’t deny our defence has improved since Mings has come in. Just look at how our goal difference has improved. The minute he puts Pau back in - boom..

I fear you might be ignoring some pretty important wider factors. If you think tonight was about Pau, I’d say your probably missing something or have an agenda.

[The Edge]

Kvaratskhelia Is a peach of a footballer. 😍😍😍

I said that in the match thread. After 15 minutes he'd been on the right, on the left and down the middle. He literally does what he wants. Brilliant footballer. He's going to need a nickname though we can't keep typing that surname out.

Agenda? You mean viewpoint?!

Didn’t the Chelsea fans say he was gash at right back? Konsa is better than him there but then, in this lineup, you’re taking our best defender out of the centre.

And they both glanced in off the woodwork. Great strikes but on another night it could have been a frustrating draw for PSG.

[Mellin]

I prefer Mings to Torres, but let's be clear, the opposition matters. Mings hasn't been up against this PSG team.

All three goals came from the other side, too. Pau played well.
