Tayls Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Might as well go all out this second half to grab a goal. Really don’t fancy us having to go to extra time when we have the weekend to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 We look like a team that only played on Sunday starting the game with 5 yellow cards against another team who has had a full week break and started with none. This was always going to be a tough ask even with the 1 goal lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Really bad first half I’m afraid. We need to do so much more in the 2nd half to avoid going out or it going to extra time. We really don’t want extra time and penalties even if we end up going through. Will screw us for Sunday’s game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HKP90 Posted April 18 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 18 Two things we can take from that half: 1.Villa have been absolutely appalling. 2. We've witnessed the ref having a mental breakdown. That was the worst display of refereeing I've seen in 34 years of watching football. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 We're having trouble progressing the ball. That's something that tactical changes should fix. It's Unai time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Can we please keep in mind that Lille had the weekend off and are playing at home? Thank you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 18 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18 They are really pressing us which should give us a few opportunities. We need to open up the passing lanes into midfield as they are smothering us atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernGordon Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Get Cash off, move Konsa to RB and get Carlos on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Cash has been shyte. McGinn is turning in a League 2 performance. And to top it off, we've got a massive bell end of a ref again. Expecting and need a massive response 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 18 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18 The only way this ends without a red is if the referee trips and hits his head at half time or someone steals his cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Good goal by them and while I’m completely bored, it’s going to plan I think. Emery kills the atmosphere first half and bit more expansive second half. We need to improve our passing though as some has been woeful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 With Zaniolo going off, it's only Emi that's booked left on the pitch? It's a legitimate tactic just to try and get one of theirs sent off in the second half, Bentaleb and the other guys will be tested if we get Rogers running at them and Bailey too in the second half.

NorthEastVillan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Any chance of any of our players actually turning up in a 1/4 final of a European Cup? We've no idea how good lille are really as we've not tested them at all. Passing accuracy at 50- 60% first half. Tough job for Emery here. Just tell the players to do the complete opposite as they did in the first half can't believe we're still in this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I don't know what it is about Cash but he somehow slows down our play more than Konsa at RB. Ruins the whole flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is we're making them look good. All they're doing is pressing like crazy and thay won't keep that up. Need to get a grip and this is still winnable. Just need one goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
