Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Olympiakos

[Marka Ragnos]

We must as supporters try to keep some perspective and keep our eyes on the prize -- CL football.

Play the reserves second leg. Try and win the league games left. This one is over.  Won't recover this away.

Yup. League our priority, if they can't take it seriously just go out.

Bit of a weird one that.

Aside from a few crazy minutes at the end the first half was dreadful. Second half was a lot better and while the missed penalty was a big blow, I still feel like we could make up two goals in the second leg. We looked very dangerous at times.

Ref got most of the big calls right imo except for our first penalty shout, which looked stonewall to me.

Actually thought Olsen was okay overall. Obviously Martinez would have been better, but I don't think you'd expect the keeper to save any of their goals - a penalty, a big deflection and two defensive disasters.

At 2-2 we should have gone on to win it, the bailey and diaby link up was on shame it took us so long to find, game could have gone either way 

Long hard season and it's showing, beat Brighton all but secure top 4 then go full strength 

Still think we can win but it'll take something special

Learnt nothing from the Lille tie

Yet again in Europe we start the game passive and sloppy - the save Olsen had to make in the first few minutes (which was wrongly flagged offside) should have been the warning, but we carried on as we were and got deservedly punished.

The ref was shit, but at the end of the day 4 goals conceded at home in a semi-final is an absolute disgrace. The back 4 were a shambles, not helped by Luiz and McGinn being awful.

If Pau was on the bench purely for rest and he's not managing a knock, then Emery deserves criticism as well.

Well, ****.

[Villan_of_oz]

I havent slept all night and had to watch that, and now I have to go to work....

Today can **** right off

[GingerCollins29]

3 of those goals get saved by Emi. Possibly all 4. Olsen is absolutely terrible

[jacketspuds]

Marinakis can stop complaining about refs for the rest of his life. Totally corrupt piece of fat shit.

[CosmicVillan]

Can I vote Chelsea as MOTM

[KevinRichardsonsMoustache]

They were v canny. They took their chances and played dirty at times. Their fans were excellent, too.

 

Having said all of that, we lost that game ourselves 

[stewiek2]

C

I can't vote on a MOTM to be honest.

Squad is down to the bare bones and running on fumes. 
 

Nothing went our way but I cant see why we can’t beat them at their place. 

Few things go our way and it’s a completely different game. Just one of those days.

Was about to completely agree but that deflection wasn't enough, it was piss poor 

[VillaJ100]

Fking battered by 4th in the Greek league. Terrible.

I don't think it's over though. If Emi tielemans and Pau are back there's half a chance with an early goal. Also not having such an inept crooked ref will help but in Greece it'll be even worse.

[HongKongVillan]

Lets just make amends and try to beat Brighton

[Django_Zooms]

Fiorentina hoping to avoid favourites Villa and Emery in the final and an Italian referee for our match. Fishy, much?

[holteend1982]

We are running on empty, down to the actual bare bones. We can turn it round but it'll be tough. Shout out to Douglas Luiz on a 0/10 performance. 

[Bizzzle]

So **** poor

Nah, it's over. But still a very good season.
