It’s 5am here , am I dreaming yup it probably is no way we are in CL , now go back to bed 

It’s gonna be a long night, Spurs are easily the better side & look most likely to score .. 

Do we go for the winner, or play safe??

Sell for FFP.

The way he's playing not sure if top teams will pay top dollar... 

Luis has being poor for a while.. 

Does our players practice shooting?? 

Have we ever come back from 0-2  before??

Can’t complain if we don't get anything from this game, The Carlos & Diaby miss is criminal.. 

Duran would have buried that.. 

We won't have a better chance than that, Diaby.. 

There’s still chance we will get something, with Youri in middle, we have some options to attack from the left with Mcggin,  unlike previous games we only have attacking threats from Bailey/ Diaby ‘s right.. Look more balance when going forward.. 

We really need a real RB, Konsa is a decent back up RB, but not great one.. Really need him as CB & not as a Cash back up.. 

To make myself feel better,  I look at this like a 2 leg playoff, we played first leg at home & another team B( quite a decent and motivated side I must admit  ) play on our behalf for the second leg tmr… as long as we win one leg, we are in CL

if we lose both legs, there's still a last day survival shoot out against Palace.. Can't ask for anymore really

We didn't get to 4th by relying on other teams.

However, we relied heavily on Kamara,Ramsey, Moreno, Rogers, Youri, Bailey( doubtful)  to get to 4th but they are unavailable for tmr.., 

To me it's no shame really to depend on Citeh to do finish the job at this stage., 

In the last 2 games, we lose our attacking threats when Rogers / Youre are out,  we don't have a attacking midfielder to feed Ollie, when teams double down on Bailey & Diaby is in poor form. 

If we can somehow get Youre back ( highly doubt as he's not in the group training video ) or even Zaniolo ( he's not in there as well ), we will struggle to get in the last 2 games. 

Tempted to try Moreno as a left midfielder, with Digne behind him as double cover. Moreno does have a eye for a pass and can also do short burst into the box.. 

We definitely need to go for at least one win to be sure 

Whatever the outcome, its being a while since we experienced such end season excitment, not since our first season and fighting for survival.. 

Liv is missing chances after chances.. 

I agreed with a earlier post that a midfield 2 of just Luis & Mcggin is not gonna work. Would have prefer Tim, or even Moreno to play in front of Digne..

Our midfield was so weak and create nothing.. 

Are our kids like Tim, Kellyman really that weak, that Emery don't play them ?

Can't complain, we lose all our creative , attacking players.. Burndia/youri/ Ramsey / Rogers/Zanniolo etc 

We lose the midfield, with Luis & Mcggin,  Tim should have come on.. 

Our midfield create nothing today.. 

Watkins is not passing as much..

C'mon villa boys , if you want the prestige / success / rewards / wage increase / cash incentive that CL brings, you gotta work for it.. 

We are playing slowly out from the back to lure Brighton’s press, it's not working as Brighton is not pressing, even when playing at home.. Guess that’s happen when you are considered atop 4 side  ..
