SC Freiburg v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

McGinn …..enough said

This for me, absolutely sensational atm. If he is on it we will have too much for them. Rogers and Watkins amongst the goals again is a huge positive also. Watkins is playing like a man possessed, and  Little Emi in the form of his life also. 2:0 Villa

I think Onana is out for the season so probably same team that started tonight.
I know nothing about them.
No predictions, too massive. I hope we turn up, i hope its comfortable, God I hope we win.

I’m not worried about fitness levels or tiredness…it’s the Europa League Final and they’ll be running on adrenaline, and giving everything to bring it home.

[Mellin]

I've always felt like we should have one of these. Probably more so than a European Cup in all honesty. Let's get it done.

[TonyD]

Key players are clicking again.
We should batter them.

[Crown Hill]

Unai saying afterwards that Pau had pain in his foot. Wanted to carry on but they told him not to risk it.

Also said how well Sancho was playing before injury.

On the Friday evening five days before we won in Rotterdam in '82 we played our last home game of season against Swansea and won 3-0, the scorers being Morley (no 11), Bremner (7) and Withe (9). Two of those numbers were on the scoresheet yesterday evening. It's written in the stars.

I don’t think they’re mugs who have had a one off good season. I think about 7 of their first team came through the academy and the captain has been playing for them since they were in the 4th division or something, been on an upwards trajectory for a few years. They’re currently 7th now and a long way off European qualification so this is their last chance to qualify for next season.

So the kind of team that always seems to give us trouble?

[ADVILLAFAN]

If Freiburg win, they're in the Conference League. They play their last game today.

[sid1964]

It is going to be a tough final - hoping that we can play at the level that beat Forest

[PaulWinch again]

They are no mugs and this will be tough I suspect. We’ll need to be right on it.

[Villan For Life]

Last night’s result sends a fantastic message to them, they will be subconsciously thinking if they can put four past Liverpool what will they do to us?

In Unai we trust.

Onana jumped with his third celebratory fist pump. Then started dancing. Moving well. Think he will start.

[Monty]

Hopefully we're in a good mood and everything, but we'll need to focus like fuck for this one. A good team, very comfortable 7th (albeit a little distant from 6th), who have players that can do all the shit we don't like to play against. Must bring it like we brought it last night. Total focus.

[Lsvilla]

Onana jumped with his third celebratory fist pump. Then started dancing. Moving well. Think he will start.

I was reliably informed last night that he’s fit and being held back for Wednesday.
