Ratings & Reactions: Legia Warszawa v Villa

[WHY]

Disgusting performance all round. Thought I’d seen the back of performances like this. Players played like they were being punished. 

[Genie]

Strange game, didn’t feel like I was watching Villa.

Nit sure why they were so poor. Did they underestimate Legia? Was it the lineup? 

[avfc1982am]

On Unai this is. Poor decision switching the defence. Poor decision leaving out DL and the wrong subs imo.

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.

No it’s more about our preparation for Sunday. Chelsea get a full week rest ahead of the match but we fly to Poland and have a high intensity match.

We were always going to be resting players for this match.

We’re not winning this unfortunately

Based on one game? We’re we had 5 starting 11 on the bench, chill

[Chasetown Villa]

Garbage. Defence was an absolute shambles. Chambers should never play for us again.

[ozvilla28]

Underestimated them simple as that should have started our strongest side. Leaking to many goals and school boy ones to. Duran and Zaniolo subs I don't understand.

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

Yeah, they did a **** shit job closing down, and should have finished a couple of those changes.

That team should be doing the job. Piss poor from our players .

Disagree, too much change and significantly weakened.

[Xela]

Well, that was a slap around the chops. Not sure what happened there. Were the players complacent?

I'm sure we will still progress but we'll make hard work of it. 

[Spoony]

Absolutely colossal effort to get into this competition and the players now don’t give a singular ****.

Make it make sense. 

[Farlz]

In away games this season we have been far too easy to play against. Tactically it's a mess in these games. 

Unai needs to sort this out quickly otherwise we aren't going to accomplish anything whatsoever this season. I'm a bit concerned for the weekend now after seeing that, we'll probably make Chelsea look brilliant.

Maybe Unai having his eye for UCL then.

Focusing on the league instead. Maybe it's coming from the owners

His expressions on the bench clearly tell you different. Ridiculous opinion. 

[AVTuco]

Embarrasing. Completely embarrasing return to European football.

Manager and players not worth their names written in this thread.

 

[Paddywhack]

I’ve always thought Chambers was a useful addition to this squad given he can fill in a number of positions, but at the very least, I don’t want to see him at RB again.

Yeah let’s focus on finishing 7th than a trophy we have a chance of winning. Great attitude.

You thought we were going to win every game this season?

We’ll still get out of the group.

I don't know exactly how many years we have waited to play in Europe again, but it must be nearly 15 years.

The players would have had some in idea of what it would mean to us fans.

Pathetic 2nd half after getting away with it in the first half.

The one thing I have loved since Unai has come in, is how performances hadn't made me angry to the point of ruining my day....

Well it's 415am, I doubt I'll get anymore sleep and big day ahead...

I'm angry with that performance, **** pathetic!

[Zatman]

The best team won and the Europa Conference arrogance might disappear now

We were never going to walk this tournament. Idiots booking hotels for the final

[sidcow]

The really disappointing thing is despite us being shockingly bad we still managed to create 3 really good opportunities in the last 10 minutes and never really looked like burying one of them. 

One you think OK, one of those things. Two pretty bloody annoying, another rare chance squandered in an important game at a crucial time. Three there's something wrong man. We could have still got something even being so poor. You can't somehow work three proper good chances and not even look like sticking one in. 

[Louis]

Rubbish game, including TNT Sports commentary too.

Going forward we were ok, but the back were on a different planet.

Legia Warsaw fans were amazing all game, couldn’t even hear our fans most bits of the game.
