Exactly, how I see it.

The Summer, will be interesting.....I think we will be busy, but I don't see the signings being huge fee's.

Good, the higher the fee  the less they will buy into Emery‘s management

Greetings from Greece!!!

 I'm an Olympiacos supporter,and  after  the drawing between us i  was  reading your reactions about our matches.. Sure  some ppl were sure about the win against us, or the qualification  some other underestimated us  a lot, but a few were more logical about this tie. But let me explain here what team you had to play yesterday against...Olympiacos maybe is 4th now at our league,but if we win the 3 matches left, we will be the Champions.We are the bigger  team in our country  with 47 championships,29 FA cups,19 Doubles,1 balcan cup many good european games (we missed the cl semifinal against M.U for 5 min( 1-1 with Juve in 1997),and every  Top  european team came at Karaiskakis Stadium had nightmares. Ofc  the football changes and we had to revalued our targets as a team.Nowdays you cant compete   teams in CL  like Barcelona, Real, Bayern,M city,   and others to do some serius  walk at Europe. Uefa  and conference cups are more realistic targets for a Greek team. Some little information  to help your thoughts.

Now for the game..

We didn't came to  steal the game, we came with a plan we execute it perfectly and i think that our win was more than enough convincing. We didnt have 5 back, a solid 4-3-3 and our  striker made a hattrick.Just  to inform you, we have the 1 striker in the conference,and the 1 player in assists (Fortounis). The coach is  our secret force.He  mutated us in a REAL team,which evry player play for his partner and Enjoy football. In karaiskakis stadium will be a do or die game for both and i hope to be winners  to have a chance to take our first european trophy.You have an excellent team and i wish you  to   play in CL next year you deserve it.

Thanks for accepting me  and to have 1 more astonishing game!!!!

I have come to the conclusion that we will reach the final. We are a much better team with easily the better players. Everything went wrong yesterday that could go wrong. If we dominate from the start, like we can, a win of 0-3 is very possible. Actually I expect us to do it. Forget that it's away, so was Arsenal.

We won on pens over two legs. 

I'm  oddly confident we will again. Don't  know why.

Who will be Graham Fenton this time?

That has to be Rogers,   every villa fan should prep for this game by watching Villa v Tranmere on YT .

Very predictable but now it’s done, relax. We’re **** and that’s the way we like it. Still love this wank club

I reckon we'd concede 3 or more to an U8s team with that donkey in goal. 

One of the worst GK performances I've ever seen.

Please tell me about the strengths of olsen as a gk? 

Cannot understand how some fans cant see how poor he was for the goals last night

I can't see how people can blame him for the goals. It's insane. 

Made some great saves and pulled some tricky  crosses out of the air. 

Very nearly batted out the one which took a vicious deflection.

There's about 6 players needing criticism overast night in front of him.

People have a quite weird obsession with hating him.

Christ alive. This is the worst post I've read on here

This is whars weird. No one has said they hate him. All they've done is critique his performances including last night and come to the accurate conclusion that he is abysmal. 

Everytime a player gets criricised for their performance, ifs weird or hate filled. 

Utterly bizarre

[UpTheVilla26]

Yep, this bizarre take that people love hating players is odd. 

I don't hate Olsen. I don't know the bloke. 

But he's a professional GK, earning more money than I ever will and everytime he's called upon to do his job, he's crap at it. 

If you seriously have watched the 2nd and 4th goals back and can't see where he is at fault for both, then I'd be considering booking an appointment at the opticians.

Brilliant news 

 

 

This is the result that matters, nothing else. That woman was literally a life saver, football means nothing.

A number of our players will have played for national sides in hostile environments.

A number of our players didn't demonstrate that last night, including most of the biggest names in that line up.

The 4th goal was a deflection and konsa turned his back on it, no one to blame just unlucky and a decent speculative shot from their player. 1st and 2nd goal, he could have done better but let's be honest Lenglet, Rogers and Cash were all at fault.

I still can’t believe we have (probably) stuffed this up.  It showed me how much I actually wanted to win it.

Olympiacos lost 6-1 at home in one of the previous rounds , just need to keep possession and pepper their keeper with shots,  any corners just wait for them to try and deal with us and not give the ref an excuse to call a foul. We will score, if we score first then I think they struggle..especially if.we can beat Brighton and spurs lose to Liverpool.
