Ratings & Reactions: UECL6: Zrinjski v Villa

[Strog]

Far from a classic but job done. Good to see Zanilio score and the debuts for Marschall and Tommy

[Lichfield Dean]

Good stuff. Didn't like how poor we became once the final round of subs were made, I think it wasn't really necessary, but overall a comfortable performance and result.

Zaniolo I thought was good, diaby poor. Decent first start for Marschall, a couple of shaky moments but other than that did well I thought. Didn't think the goal was his fault at all.

Just got back from the game. Meh....job done and at least Zaniolo broke his duck.

Zany Lulu getting on the score sheet with a phenomenal first touch and calm as you like finish. Could have been a lot better but all the second string need minutes. Great to see O'Reilly play.

That was exciting stuff, Zaniolo finally gets his goal. Roll on last 16

Not the best but we are through. I have to say that Zrinjski’s goal was superb. There was not a lot Marschall could’ve done about that.

Not sure if I’m imagining things but a better keeper saves that shot. No way that goes past Martinez.

Poor performance but fine. Thought Diaby was the standout poor performer. 

Their shot took a deflection which gave the ball topspin and mad crazy dip.

Was that a spell checker issue

[Pinebro]

Not one I will tell my grandkids about

We’ll remember these nights in a couple of years as just part of our natural progression up the European ladder as we line up at the Nou Camp in the CL

McGinn made the difference when he came on, MOTM for that reason

Qualified top, never anything to worry about...

This must be the most woeful competition we’ve competed in in my memory. Even inter-toto games were more entertaining. Still this is a means to an end (the end being better European football). 

But at least the trophy's bigger!

Damn that was fast

Glad we are through and can focus on the league until March. Poor performance, but the pitch was terrible. Question marks over Zaniolo and Diaby this evening. Need Diaby firing to be honest as reckon Bailey will be out at the weekend.

Not sure I agree with the last part. No way that gets past Martinez

2 positives from that. 

1. We are through without having to play some other rinky dink shit team in a playoff. 

2. Dendoncker & Chambers once again showcasing the fact neither are nowhere near good enough for this squad and hopefully get shipped out in Jan.

Mate we just played a Bosnian team in a tiny stadium.

Things will get more " exciting " when/if we progress through the rounds and teams get better and more at stake.

Literally just switched the tele on to watch this and its over
