Aston Villa vs Lille - last 16 2nd leg pre match chat
« on: March 15, 2026, 09:44:35 PM »
Quickly moving on. Massive game at Villa Park. We need a big crowd and all the energy to see us over the line. Hoping Unai doesn’t just go with the same old players and tactics. The players need to lift Villa Park. I’ll go for a 2-1 win.

Fully expect Buendia, Bailey and Ollie to start to start but I’d go with this.

Martinez
Cash
Maatsen
Konsa
Pau
Luiz
Onana
McGinn
Elliott
Rogers
Tammy

Nervy win, can't trust Emery to pick a sensible team of late.

Don't think Barkley is in the squad for this is he? Shame, as arguably our best player against Manure.

I'd like to think Emery will use this game as a chance to really raise confidence. They're the worst team we've played in two months, go for it and absolutely embarrass them on our turf to set a president for Sunday.

That won't happen of course, it'll be a cagey, horrible, ill convincing 1-1, but I can dream.

I'd vote for Lille to win after extra time but I can't.

An early goal to settle the nerves. Then concede to ruin the nerves. 2-1 agg win.

I'd be happy with a draw tbh and I think Emery would too. Our whole Europa League campaign has to be the dullest on record and I think that's by design. Barring Go Ahead Eagles where the players utterly fucked it up, we've been getting away with the bare minimum for most of the tournament.
