Ratings & Reactions: Legia Warszawa v Villa

[Villa87]

Woeful. Really fuckinng woeful. That’s three very frustrating games this season. This time though, it was against some absolute shite. 

[alreadyexists]

What absolute rubbish that was. 

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

Ming's and Buendia at least bring fire and impetus into this team.

Shit tonight

Bit of a shit game but it happens. Rather have a bad performance in a midweek match than in the PL.

That's reassuring. 

[LondonVillian]

Tielemans thats why you don't start -- shite

The worst performance under Emery 

I think that accolade still goes to the Stevenage game, but yup, utter shite that.

[Davkaus]

Imagine how shit we'd be if we weren't paying the price of success.  

[StefanAVFC]

Didn’t want to vote for a MOTM, none of them deserve it 

Woefully unprepared, too many players completely not giving a shit. We were 3-2 down for most of the 2nd half and not a single player stepped up and showed any urgency. 
 

So disappointing. 

[Lerner's Driver]

Well played Legia.

Unai Emery this is on you.

Woeful.

[jim]

Disorganized, complacent and sloppy.

They should all be embarrassed of themselves. Poor defending but the tactics didn’t help.

[switters]

Hopefully if nothing else this game will act as a wake up call for us in Europe. Whoever thought we would walk this tournament will see now that some of the teams in this competition no mugs. Legia pressed us well and exploited gaps with pace, and were organised/aggressive in defence.

I don't think it was wrong to rotate a bit but there was probably too much newness in the team, not just that they are backups but the fact half the outfield players have barely started for us at all before.

not a lot of positives, but good to see Ramsey back. Other than the missed chance, looked good.

[thunderball]

Complacent, flat, poor performances. Defensively shambolic. 

Ramsey, Zaniolo and Duran looked good

[Guardian_Angel_M]

Terrible.

 

Uninterested.

 

Lazy.

 

Only Jhon Jader comes out of that horrible game with any credit

[YLN]

A small insignificant point but the ref booked the keeper for time wasting during injury time and added on no extra time.

[mikeyp102]

I think that is the worst game we’ve had under Emery. 
At the moment his tactics away from home are just not working. 

[claretman]

Quite simply shite.  Emery partly to blame, weak line up, subs too late and a bit weird.  

[TheAuthority]

Just now, Pinebro said:

We started to create a bunch of chances once we brought the big guns on.

We'd have beat them with ease had he played his strongest team.

We're not taking the competition very seriously by the look of things.

Wasn't that what you were advocating for? Playing the 3rd string because you think this is a mickey mouse competition.

[Strog]

Got it all wrong. Poor selection, poor tactics and poor play. We underestimated them too. Deserved to lose  

[AVFCDAN]

You have to make changes for Europe but it’s caught us out tonight, simple as that. 
 

The great European adventure starts with a whimper.

[jim]

I blame all those people saying we are a shoe in to win this competition.
