Lille vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[SamTheMouse]

If Watkins was on performance-related pay, he'd owe the club a million quid for this season.

[PhilVill]

Why are we wearing black armbands?

Remembering our CL hopes

👏

[PaulWinch again]

Villa you are allowed to run a bit.

[Exeter 77]

We really miss Cash on the right when he isn't available.

[fredm]

We would be world champions at walking football. Nobody runs about at all looking for a pass

Not watching it on TV, but it doesn't seem I am missing much

Opening minutes:  Torres misjudges first attacking ball into the box.

Same player tries to dribble upfield and presents the ball straight back to the opposition.

Watkins shanks a pass in a good attacking area with all the time in the world to either dart through or slide a teammate in.

Same as it ever was.

I think we are doing alright.  They’ve not shown a thing yet and I was expecting the to have a go early on

[andyh]

Why didn’t Torres go back to the keeper ?

[devilla]

Exciting isn't it?

[AlexAlexCropley]

Looks like a different sport to the cl matches last night

[KevinGage]

These lot seem fairly tentative as well.

So if we find a way to not actually sink our own boat we might get something here.

[PeterWithesShin]

Why didn’t Torres go back to the keeper ?

Probably watched the CL games this week.

[Tuscans]

Love it if Martinez did the "shagging the golden glove" gesture at all the Lille fans...but with his cock out.

[kippaxvilla2]

Do they run out to Lille the Pink before each match?
