Didn't catch the game here in Oz, why play Taylor? Why not play Elmo right Guilbert left? Taylor is gash............just asking the question.

Away goals were never double [/pedant]

Didn’t we beat Arsenal on a way goals the year we won it ? Yes we did, sure we did. ( pointless refusal to use google lol).

Yeah we did. But not because away goals count double. Just because we had the most away goals.

I don't think the rule has ever been "away goals count double". Merely whoever has the most away goals wins

(Told you I was being pedantic)

[terrytini]

You are right. I think, lol.....-  without checking google - .

Seeing as how I was pedantic enough to point out to OP that away goals ‘ count’ I feel I’ve well and truly been hoisted by own petard

Because Taylor for all his faults going forward can actually defend.

Compared to who? A better defender/wing back than Elmo or Guilbert?

I think because Guilbert is a Right Back.

2nd leg will be interesting, I think we have to do the same again. I Don’t think we can allow ourselves to get carried away and think that the home tie advantages us, and that the onus is on us to attack to win the game. Hopefully we’ve signed a player or two by then that is eligible to play, certainly a CF would be a big boost. Fingers crossed. A finisher and a bit of pace could change the complexion of the tie.

On the left yes.

Couple of other points:

Support was IMMENSE and put them in their place.

We looked a threat going forward everytime we got into their third of the pitch.

Also pretty solid at the back from the opening minute, I had confidence we'd keep a clean sheet up until Konsa decided otherwise!

I thought Orjan Nyland was very good & based on that performance I don't see the need for you to bring in another keeper.

Top support from the Villa masses.

After we scored you could tell confidence was coursing through the players and we started to knock it around like 1970s Brazil/2010s Barca for a very short time, cue 'ole's' from the away end. 

Apart from our goal, that was my favourite part of the game.
