He is a revelation and inspiration beyond just football The way he carries himself and represents our club is something to be proud of. What a guy. Thank you Unai, we love your more than you will know!!!

Hallelujah!!!!!!!

He’s not just playing amazingly well, he’s also becoming a leader. His fight and determination is an excellent example. This guy really cares and I agree that he’s our best player.

Big shoutout to Chambers. His tenacity and enthusiasm helped swing things in our favour. His challenge lead to Duran’s first.

If ever we score from a corner.

Carlos with the brainless foul too, just saying.

Carlos sprinting into their box to block out our 19 goal striker and then miss the open goal in the process is worse than anything Diaby has done tonight, and quite possibly the worst thing I've ever seen a Villa player do in 30 years, especially under these circumstances.

 

 

He's brainless, all he had in his mind is him being able to take his top off and flex his muscles. Clown.

Some great performances so far coupled with a mare so far from Carlos and Diaby. They have let us down.

Diego Carlos is absolutely infuriating. That’s horrendous. Took it off Ollie for a tap in too. Bailey incredible. 

The amount of loose balls too, putting us under pressure.

I have so much anger for Carlos right now... how???

Tielemans been our best player so far

Bailey too

Carlos is so **** sloppy

Where is the home support? They need us right now.

Tielemans!!! Where's Cash?

He can't beat a man, provides terrible final balls/crosses and has awful decision making.

You just described the Bailey of old. Let’s hope he can emulate the Bailey of old’s resurgence too, because right now it’s like playing with 10 men.

Yeh that's my issue if you've watched him play RW before. Put Tim in from the off, push McGinn further forward and put Bailey in his actual position.

Not slating Emery, I just think it was too passive and we should have played a more attacking set of players. Not many options for sure but could have taken more risk IMO. 

What players? Everyone’s injured. Team picked itself tonight.

Gutted. Odds stacked against us for several reasons, but it was a poor showing over two legs. Let's hope we can get over the line for 4th.

We are so bad right now, it hurts. But we've have an incredible season, we can't forget that either. Got to see the bigger picture, somehow. Just seems hard after this result and performance.

More pissed off than ever about Martinez's dubious first leg suspension.

He would have been injured regardless.

Really disappointed in Villa tonight I have to say. A major European semi final and we’ve been totally off it. 

We've been off it for weeks mate.

What has happened to this team? The last 4 games we just look clueless. Dopey defensively and brainless going forward with the wrong pass time and time again. Injuries explain no depth but we’ve still got 11 senior pros out there. Three defeats on the bounce if we lose this, I’m not sure when that last happened under Unai.

 

They need to get a grip because we could feasibly end the season with 5 defeats on the bounce which would be such a comedown on a very good season.

Fatigue, injuries and a lack of squad depth is what happened. Have you seen the bench today? Bailey has been playing with a knee strap for weeks.

We've struggled to break teams with a low block.. highly unlikely we're gonna do that with 3 goals today are we? 

Just now, Made In Aston said:

Not very hopeful after seeing that lineup. 5 at the back and absolutely no options to change things from the bench. Only plus is that Emi is back.

Maybe Cash is on the wing though?

Absolutely decimated squad. It’s tragic and a miracle we’ve got this far.

We’re broken. Injuries have decimated us but there’s some serious players who have let us down big time right when it mattered. Another complete non-performance today.
