Ratings & Reactions: UECL: Villa v Zrinjski Mostar

[Lichfield Dean]

Blimey, what an end.

Emery really needs to reassess how we're approaching this competition in my opinion if we're serious about it.

Thank **** for that

As delighted as I was with the winner, I have to say that's one of the best defensive performances I've seen at VP. They deserved a point in all fairness. 

Can we sign them up for our defence!?

The opponent needs to get in Cash's face every game. He was a man possessed in that second half.

TV announcer quoted the manager for Zrinjski stating this was the biggest match in the clubs history. As a club, supporters and players, are going to have to take these matches far more seriously. These clubs aren't showing up for a participation trophy. 

Great fight in the 2nd half by Villa. 1st half starters that got yanked at half need to show that energy going forward. 

[Pinebro]

It's mental how big of a difference those first teamers made.

Like going from a league one side to a top 5 PL side

[MotoMkali]

Best refereeing performance I've seen even if we should have had a pen in the 88th minute.

Is it wrong that I feel gutted for Zrinjski? Incredible defending in the 2nd 45.

Finally I get to go to work in a good mood. Someone have a drink for me! Enjoy a good nights sleep fellas Im off to mow some lawns. UTV

Shows you can’t underestimate these teams. Vital 3 points, and Legia losing keeps the group nice and open.

Huge relief to win at the end. Harsh luck on them, they defended resolutely.

Yeah I feel awful for them but delighted for us.

[UpTheVilla26]

Why can't I vote for Bertie as MOTM?? 

[HKP90]

Man my adrenalin is buzzing. I could run through a wall. 

That's what I wanted from European nights.

McGinn - 10/10

Tielemans - 0/10 - I’d drive him back to Leicester myself and throw him in the Walkers canal.

First half - 0/10

Second half - 7/10

[Spoony]

Never thought I’d say this about a pundit but Joe Cole is way too nice about us lol

The B team need to be banned. Game changed when we brough the proper players on

Looked more like the tactics than the personnel. Tielemans was much better second half. Lenglet and Carlos were fine. Duran didn’t do much wrong. Dendonker was poor but hardly a B “team”.

I did too, it’s been villa so many times over the years. They deserved a point in fairness.
