  1. It’ll be sorted next season. We’re currently missing out only aerially dominant CB and our only tenacious DM…it’s a player/squad issue
  2. Liverpool overturned 4 against Barca, granted at home We beat Arsenal 2-0 away last month Maccabi beat them 4-1 away It’s unlikely but there is a chance. In some ways I think it suits this team better to just go for it than hang on to a 1-0 lead. I would rate our chances the same next week if we had a one goal cushion tbh
  3. We’ve not played well tonight and they have been really up for it. They’ve also had quite a few breaks and decisions. It’ll be down to a long shot in the away leg
  4. I heard someone say Brugge is a harder match up for Villa tactically
  5. One win in six for the might Al Ettifaq…I guess Al Hilal should be wiping the floor with them. Gerrard is managerial garbage
  6. I have a feeling we’re going to secure UCL at home to Liverpool. We beat Spurs to the conference last season and I think history repeats again this year
  7. Conference league this season has been great preparation. With the players returning from injury and a couple of quality additions this summer I say we’re ready
  8. Once again this lot get a break in between the two legs so we’re going to have to win it the hard way. We’re running on fumes at this stage but back the boys to score a couple at home and get it done over two legs
  9. First manager since 1982 to progress Villa to a European semi
  10. I accept writing off Sheff U but Burnley is a live fixture. Put it this way…I’d rather be playing Brighton
  11. Yeah that’s the other thing that makes me nervous. Everyone’s just assumed we’re winning the conference from day 1 Given the teams we’ve faced I’ll consider it a Europa level achievement if we manage it
  12. Remember Mourinho’s Porto went Europa and UCL back to back. It can be done
  13. I think some of the wild overreactions are being driven by a feverish desperation to qualify for the UCL on the basis that it’s the promised land and will suddenly transform the club and and team into a title chasing outfit. Qualifying one year for the UCL is not a magic bullet. We have living proof this season from Newcastle. The way we transform this club is by getting behind Unai and the lads for every game and enjoying the process/challenge. The players and staff will learn and level up as they go. There’s no rush here. Of course I want us to hit 4th this season but if we’re in Europa we should be grateful and there are upsides. It’s another great opportunity for a European trophy next season and a great learning experience. Im so glad we’ve had conference this year as preparation.
