Wainy316 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I haven't been this nervous a week ahead of a game for a long time. These are the kind of games it's all about but man it's gonna be nervy! The Arsenal game feels like an inconvenience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I think conceding that goal could cost us. 2-0 and I think we would go through. Now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our away form has been better than our home form, I don't agree with you. Also, did anybody look at all the European results this week? Other than Atalanta coming in and kicking Liverpool in the teeth, these are close games. We also drew an opponent who plays similar to us, and knew they could play loose to come home and chase in the second leg. Other teams we might have bossed but, as the saying goes, styles make fights. I'd rather be us than Liverpool right now, if I wanted advancement. I think we can draw away at Lille on a Thursday mid-evening. Edited April 13 by 479Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hopefully Villa win in normal time as I don't think we have 5 penalty takers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Lille having a full week to rest isn't ideal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Energy levels obviously a factor here but if we can, play our best team: Martinez Konsa Carlos Pau Digne McGinn Tielemans Luiz Rogers Bailey Watkins We can do this. 1-2 win UTV Edited April 14 by ferguson1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 We are a better team than Lille and we have a 1.0 lead. Let’s get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to plan for everything else so I expect he knows the order already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroesAndVillans Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Really nervous for this one because of how much I have built up the idea of winning this competition in my head. If there is any squad capable of doing it, especially after yesterday, it's ours. Gaffer knows his way around Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sun_never_sets Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Could start with a 5 3 2 here for solidity and control to quieten down the atmosphere....and then pivot into a 433 after 60 mins. But tbh ill trust whatever Emery goes with. Cash konsa Carlos torres moreno Mcginn Luiz tielemans Bailey Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone can read anything in to it, with certainty.....it's all on the day. I do think whoever wins this, has a very good chance to go all the way.

The Fun Factory Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Going to be another hard game. Hope the boys have enough in the tank after Sunday, at least it is a short trip across the channel. Lille are very good at home but Emery is the master of European matches. I think it will be a nervy 1-1 and job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) It's so vital that we are going into this game with such a well earned victory behind us. Now we just have to carry the belief instilled in us from that win and maximise it to our advantage. Lille would have taken notice, that's for sure, and if we maintain that kind of focus with the same intensity, I honestly think, we'll be too much for them. The key word being "Consistency." When this team eventually lessens those frailties, defensively mainly, then we really can start to believe. I'm genuinely excited about our last few games, rather than nervous and performances like the one against Arsenal is ample evidence that we may just become part of something very special indeed.
