Aston Villa v PSG Pre-Match Thread

[AV82EC]

A front 3 of rashford, watkins, rogers, with youri pulling the strings in front of kamara and onana would be my choice.

I like your thinking.

[steamer]

I don't think they play this weekend, nicely rested then.

No game for PSG this weekend as they persuaded the French FA to postpone it so they would be rested for the game against us

Dortmund have won it once and been beaten finalists twice, we’ve won it and never failed to get at least to the quarter finals, but neither of us ‘belong’ there, whatever that even means. Tool.

Talking of not belonging places, 8 goals in 55 caps for a forward.

Found his level in Small Heath.

Small Heathens call Dugarry "Le God". I know it's a low bar but 6 goals in 31 games over 2 seasons. Wow.

Anyway, we have to play the game at a higher intensity than we did on Weds. Anything is possible.

So it's come down to this game, one that everyone but Villa fans think we will lose. One that only the most optimistic Villa fan would imagine that we would be competing in when that 3rd Fulham goal went in.

But it's why we're here, why we're there every week, and why the Manager agreed to come to the club.

One of the many highlights this season has been the atmosphere before KO in the CL games and we get to experience it again and if anything it will be more charged with emotion than what has come before. Because we are still in the tie, still have a chance and we can still progress.

3-1 and fittingly in this fabulous journey, it will come down to a tense and terrifying penalty shoot out. I'm not even going to attempt to predict the outcome of that but I can predict that we will all be on our feet at the end paying tribute to the players and the Manager.

I've genuinely no idea how this will go. It could be a humbling defeat, a creditable draw, a frustrating 2-1 win, or our greatest night in 40+ years. If we go through, start building the Unai statue Thursday morning, but I think a draw is the most likely outcome.

[Border villan]

Wednesday morning.

[Brazilian Villain]

Wednesday morning.

They'll need a day to recover from their hangovers.

[AlexAlexCropley]

I hope PSG have read the "2 goal lead being the most perilous score to maintain" memo

Or rusty . Sometimes these ploys  backfire

[Drummond]

I'm proud of this team whatever happens, but to think where we've come from, and where we're going, this is the sort of game to get used to.

Tight for half an hour to an hour, then just let the shackles off.

[RamboandBruno]

Play the best team and show less respect .

------- Martinez ---------
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
---- Kamara - Tielemans-
Rogers ------------ Ramsey
-- Rashford ---- Watkins

Is swap McGinn for Ramsay but otherwise agree!

Agree, McGinn for Ramsey, but otherwise that team

[VillaTim]

It's  a good call. McGinn deserves to start this and lead the team out .
