Reivax_Villa Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Unai has kept his cards very close to his chest for this fixture.. I even think the training video was leaked deliberately.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we manage to win this tie to go through to the final it will be one of the most amazing comebacks I've ever seen. I am going into this game with no expectations. I think we have a chance, but that it is a very very slim one. If we were full strength and it was the early part of the season I would feel far more confident, but it just feels like we are stumbling towards the end of the season now and the injuries and volume of matches have finally taken their toll on the squad. Let's hope though, and hopefully this will be our big comeback and one for the memories in years to come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post useless Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 We will play the strongest team possible, we aren't going to throw a European Cup Semi-Final, this is our last chance to win something this season and for all we know we might not get a better chance for a number of seasons to come, the only way the likes of Tielemans, Martinez, and so o don't play is if they're not fit enough to do so. We should have enough to finish fourth regardless of who plays tonight 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vibe coming out of the camp/media/supporters is one of belief and determination however. It could be an epic night… I don't think my neighbours could stand another epic Edited May 9 by Talldarkandransome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 9 Moderator Share Posted May 9 Going into this with zero expectations. An early goal would change that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted May 9 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9 If Emi and Youri are back i'd feel somewhat confident about being able to get back into this. Without them I think we're really on the struggle bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted May 9 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9 Before the first leg I wouldn’t have expected them to come to VP and score 4 goals but they did, so if they can do that away from home then so can we. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 First goal to us and it’s game on. No need to go all guns blazing chasing a goal from the off and wouldn’t be worried if it’s still 0-0 at halftime. Certainly not confident but depending on the side we put out, we may turn this around. C’mon you Villa boys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Even if Youri is 90% fit, I think he'll start. He is key as it allows McGinn to play on the right and push slightly further forward. Or, he plays on the left and Bailey on right with Diaby behind Watkins. Either way, Youri being back gives us a load more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can expect Olympiacos' players to fall down --and to stay there for as long as the ref allows them to-- constantly, even when a Villa player merely brushes past them... Still, I do hope that Villa won't take all that lying down! dont insult us like this we are not such a team.... but remember your players after you tie the game with Lille.. you did that.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisvilla4 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I think we can do this. Balls to resting up, win or bust from now on, guaranteed 5th (we will get 4th) beyond my wildest expectations already this season, UTV! Villa 3-1 extra time, villa 4 -1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 9 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9 No expectations. We're 2-0 down with a team that's completely **** and every side we put out is cobbled together, going to a hostile away stadium, the best we can hope for is to give a good account of ourselves.

C’mon you Villa boys Scoring an early goal (or 2!) is key, then the players have to manage the game carefully as we really can't afford to concede. We're going to have to play the game of our lives to turn this around but stranger things have happened in the fact we're still sat in 4th spot!
