Maybe a little credit to Olympiacos is due. Villa have been decent this year so to turn them over is no small feat.
Well done to the Greeks.
How about no? Villa players are paid way more and are way better technically and tactically. Massive failure but hey its not united or Chelsea so who cares. Big club things I guess
For sure. S.J saying Olympiakos are not steeped in European history. How many times have they played in Europe in the last 10 years compared to Villa?
In the last 30 years, Olympiakos has featured 20 times in the Champions League group stage and 9 times in the Europa League group stage…
Nah, it's embarrassing to the premier League and England, Liverpool, Villa, even man city let the prem down.
@@camparkin what a silly comment lol, imagine olympicos in the premier, they would be relegated let alone top four.
Olympiacos has not beaten once or twice Arsenal at the Emirates but three times in the last nine years! Liverpool and Manchester United have been beaten at Karaiskakis stadium for the champions league, also West Ham and Burnley for the Europa League. Liverpool's game against Olympiacos in 2005 is probably the most memorable for the club in this century (probably together with the 4-0 against Barcelona). Olympiacos would go through to the quarter-finals even by losing with one goal differnece, we took the lead with Rivaldo at half time before Liverpool put an epic come back in the second half to win 3-1 and lift the trophy in Instabul with that 3-3 against Milan. Please put some respect.
Olympiacos were superb. every player was better than what villa had in both games. especially their striker with 30+ goals
maybe forest can swap him for sangare
Didn't Olympiacos knock Arsenal out of the Europa League at the Emirates a number of years ago? They:ve had a lot of European experience
Exactly I’m an arsenal fan and they are normally always in the champions league they are a very experienced team and normally champions in their country Simon is not giving them credit
Simon is catering for the kids who started watching football recently . You cannot compare olympiacos pedigree in European football with villa
As a Villa fan well done olympiacos great side great fans, Simon we had no divine right to win, we have half a fit squad all season and sit on 67pts with two games left in Unai’s first season, you’re a dam fool for criticising him. He has performed miracles at Villa in 18months taking us from 17th and heading for the drop to semi final Europe and possibly champions league qualification. UTV
No Simon. They come to Villa Park and bagged 4 goals. They weren't just going to collapse at home and lose 3-0.
Olympiacos is a biggger team in europe over the past decade than Villa. Context my English friends and stop this blind arrogance. Atalanta just smashed Liverpool at Anfield. English teams aprt from City due to Pep are not as good as they think they are.. the busniess model and advertisement of the league is amazing and the money..
liverpool literally played one of if not the worst game under klopp against atalanta and there hasn't been that many, but use one game to justify a league being "overhyped" if you want, olympiacos would be in the championship if they where an english team
No way, in Greece you earned 6 million from TV contracts , at the prem gou got 170 millio . Furthermore olympiakos is top 10 premier league team if participate s @@lennon1482
the commentators sound naive. Olympiacos' european experience isnt at question, as they have challenged some of the best teams in Europe including English teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham etc. the last 2 decades. OLy usually participates in UCL and europa league tournament and as a matter of fact the first year that played in conference league tournament passed through the finals.
even my team PAOK 2 times in three years go to quarterfinasl conference league but lost to marseille and club brugge
What is Jordan smokin?!? Olympiakos have for at least last 20-25 years hell more experience in Europe. Again absolute arrogance from him, like this greek side are some pub team.
Except the fact that Olympiacos is compiting in Europe the last 30 years (Group Stages, R16, Quarterfinals in UCL/UEL), they also have one of the greatest youth academies in Europe at this point. Olympiacos U19 won the Youth Champions League this year against AC Milan. They are just not a side to be disrespected by some random brits :)
So much disrespect in Olympiacos i cant understand the arrogance of the English media, google Olympiacos first for Christ sake in the last 20 years we ve played in big games won against arsenal in London twice and many more! Big shirt the Olympiacos one guys, chill
you lot dont play in a unforgiving premier league EVERY week.
You smash plates.
@@thefivepoints they smash English teams regularly at this point
@@happyapple4269 LOL! The quality of the Premier League is really poor outside of Manchester City and Arsenal. Anyone who can see beyond the cliches peddled by the media knows this. There's a reason no EPL team could go no further than the quarter final stage of the Champions League this season, and why the competition is so rarely won by an English team.
@@lonelyboy19773 different premier league teams have won it since 2019...
Are u guys mad?? Really do you compare Europe experience/results of Olympiakos vs Villa??? Do you recall how many matches olympiakos won against English teams both home and away?? Simply acknowledge the fact tha you were eliminated by a better TEAM, learn from that and move on.
Olympiakos has a lot of experience he plays every year in Europe and he had big wins over top clubs, and it is not fair saying Aston villa had to go through because in the two legs olympiakos battered them. Try to remember which big British clubs lost at olympiakos home
I'll say this as an American Villa fan we deserved nothing in the tie but I can't understand where they are getting olympiacos has no experience they have so much more than Villa dose. And another absolute excuse, but it is a fact os that we were hurt in almost every position
Olympiakos, no european experience, 355 games since the 90s :/
this year's games between Premier league teams and Greek teams... Brighton vs AEK, Olympiakos vs West Ham and Olympiakos vs Villa. total wins : Greeks 4, British 2...
Total goals: Greeks 11 British 7.
How about that?
How did Olympiacos get on in the Europa League this year? They were in the same group as West Ham. The fact they are in the Euro conference should answer that for you.
The same West ham that won the competition last year?
The change of manager mid season has made a huge difference to Olympiakos
Olympiacos is the most successful team in Greece regularly competes in the champions league and villa is a mid table premier league team.
Stop smashing plates.
4th isn’t mid table
Some people can’t count
olympiakos is scrapyard football style of a scrapyard football second division league.go home and drink ouzo
They smashed Villa. EPL is not as good as you think.
Simon finally speaks facts about the prem, and Martin can't take it
Nope, we have to play massive games every 3 days and it is NOT possilble ! We will always struggle not for quality but very little rest between games.
@@TooDarnSoulful no you should be beating Olympiakos stop making excuses.
@@thefivepoints NOPE sorry they do NOT have the squad to play crucial games every 3 games, Villa will learn like Pep did. I am not a Villa fan by the way ! I use we meaning English teams.
Martin is a woke clown
If you don’t recognize that the PL is the best league in the world then it’s likely because you are africant.
For all the derision to West Ham saying we won tin pot trophy but we did something Villa and Spurs didn’t do had the bottle to win it.
All credit to West Ham for winning it, but they weren't fighting for a CL league position in the league.
Or playing without 6/7 first team players
People seem to forget that Olympiacos used play champions league football almost every year....
While Aston villa was fighting relegation or been relegated 😂😂😂
So to expect little "mainly bottom of the table" villa to go beat a team who already thumped them at villa park is crazy...
Just yesterday villa was battling relegation and today people expected them to go to Greece and beat that team 😂😂😂
As a Villa fan I’m gutted but olympiacos were better both legs. The better team won. The manager won’t use excuses but our depleted squad hasn’t helped. As for Simon Jordan, I’d be embarrassed if I were him
British commentators, big up the Old Firm for their huge support and passion. And would be coming out with praise, had they knocked out Villa last night. Yet, Olympiacos, who have a similar infrastructure to the Old Firm, are completely dismissed. To say these pundits are ignorant beyond belief, is the understatement of the year.
Jim White desperately fishing for reactions and headlines. Pretty sad
That's literally his job, fella.
Olympiakos are a decent side, criticizing villa is just dumb
Any team in top 8 should be waking this competition, seeing as PL is "best league in the world"
Shows just how bad the so called PL is - Aston Villa are a clear 4th and are a bang average !!
Another person who doesn’t understand the incredibly simple notion that when people say the premier league is the best league in the world, they don’t mean that all the teams in it are better than other leagues. Just the entertainment value and competitive nature of it is far ahead of ligue 1 for example
West Ham didn’t even break a sweat to the final last season
Yea but in reality, it isn't
@@Ricardo-ur5osWhy is it more entertaining than the Bundesliga? The argument changes every season
So much ignorance against Olympiacos from English media.
Check how many champions league seasons they played and what kind of players played for them.
Muppets
I wouldent say Olympiacos was superb but they were utterly clinical with practically every attempt they had against Villa.
Failed to do what west ham did.
And west ham wanted moyes gone, I bet it will come back to haunt them
😂😂😂😂😂😂 whu hanging onto their mickey mouse trophy accolade.
And Olympiacos beat West Ham at home this year. We broke their undefeated streak.
@@AlexLog314 West Ham rested players and were always going to top the group. Took care of business at London Stadium.
Jealous guy
How can you not know how well Olympiacos have done over many years.?
Don’t often agree with keown but he gets it spot on - was there last night - any side would struggle to win there- it was mental - lost it in the first leg .. atmosphere was huge at VP and the players unfortunately crumbled .. literally all to do with lack of experience! What emery has done with this team and the injuries is remarkable. Also olympiakos are a very good side with some really good players and I hope they go and win it
For anyone to say that Olympiakos are the same in Europe as Villa is a joke to say the least
Olympiakos have been playing in Europe the past 30 years without fail (most of them in the Champions league) Villa have done well this year and the Premier league is by far the best in the world.
Besides that Olymiakos was the better team over the 2 legs won the tie 6-2 and there is nothing to argue about that.....
Further more what wins games is goals and not possession ......
The Greek site played with a very specific game plane and allowed Villa to have the ball but as we saw in the second leg more than the first the could do nothing with that
I will say this once again for all the nonsense some pundits have dared to say ( that simply shows they ignorance and arrogance ) OLYMPIAKOS is a giant in Europe compared to Villa the past 25-30 years
just because emery doesn’t complain about our injuries like many managers, it doesn’t meant they aren’t there: mings, buendia, ramsey, moreno, tielemans, zaniolo, rogers
you’re telling me that with even some of those players being fit, we wouldn’t have been able to put up more of a fight? give over
couple that with the fact that the french and greek FAs moved their weekend games to help their teams be as fresh as possible for each leg. olympiacos played 3 games in 3 weeks (including the two legs), villa played 5 in that time
These people know absolutely nothing about football outside of England. I'd ask my postman for complex medical advice before I asked these three for analysis on Greek football.
forest fans know about tihe club, and we never want oly players and plenty of our cast offs go the other way so it suggests they are very different leagues
You waste plates and cause mess.
@@thefivepoints lol = hahahahahaha
@@PazLeBon My point isn't about the quality of the Greek league, it's that these people talk with authority about things they know nothing about. It's not just Greece, they make comparisons to foreign clubs and leagues despite having no knowledge.
@@thefivepoints I'm not Greek but true.
i get where Simon is coming from. but this is the first time they've been in Europe for a while. and to get to the semis is a big feat. Olympiakos beat Arsenal a few years ago in the Europa League, so they're no mugs.
Guys... I just wanted to give some stats you so that you understand what Unai Emery means about experience in Europe. So Olympiacos has 24 participations in Champions League, played 158 games, has 59 wins 69 defeat and 30 draws with g a 197-240 . In the Europa League has 11 participations, 24 wins, 26 defeats and 16 draws with g a 90-81. I m just giving modern Era stats, ok? Also Olympiacos is one of the the founder members of the European Club Association along with Juventus, Chelsea, Man United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern etc. Aston Villa wasn't eliminated by some nobody,, ok? Just chill and listen to Emery. He s a great coach and for me experience in Europe comes with consistency and years. Take care guys
First season playing in europe for years. Amazing job by the players and the manager. Theyve just been spread to thin. The players are knackered. Nobody predicted villa finishing in the champions league places.
Well done Olympiakos. From a Birmingham fan.
SOTV
Emery couldn't do it at Arsenal in the final. He couldn't with Aston Villa. It's the British media
Olympiacos play in Europe nearly every season.
Maybe the PL is not as good as some people make out. Maybe it is.
But one season of an English side not being in any uefa final is probably not the best metric to guage it all on. Its bound to happen from time to time and all round is probably good for European not to have one nation dominating year in, year out.
Congratulations to Olympicos, would like to see them go on and be the first Greek side to lift European silverware.
what they on about olympiakos are in champs league most years, do these guys even watch football
clearly not its like yea ok they dont make semi or finals oftern but they at least have play of rounds or whatever they call them, them group stage and maybe some r16 thats...all experice
8 players injured against a seasoned side in continental competition. Also literally EVERYTHING went their way over the two legs. Even if they'd tried to score an own goal it would have somehow deflected up the other end into the Villa net.
Simon doesn't know Olympiacos is a European competitions regular, always a Greek league contender and is ranked 35 on the UEFA while Vila is 103, as usual Simon doesn't have a clue of what he's talking about.
ManCity showed Real Madrid their place, Arsenal wiped the floor with Bayern, Liverpool dominated the Europa League and Aston Villa swiped through the conference league ! All that’s missing is winning the European championship 😅 Man it’s Brexit all over again
They’ve played half the games Villa have, also got a week off either side of the games to prepare - Villa have about 10 injuries to key players. what do they expect? How do pundits miss these points and expect to be taken seriously. Ridiculous
As a Villa fan if you look back at all the matches in europe we stumbled through every game chopping and changing at the back
Well, Fortounis alone has played 74 matches in major European Competitions. Aston Villa has played 104 matches in their whole European Competitions history including Intertoto.
Well, actually olympiacos is much more experienced in europe. You cant be that ignorant
Weird how nobody takes into consideration how exausted villa players are ... the spurs players were saying to each other at half time how shattered villa players are ... the brighton manager said sunday how thats not the real villa they are tired .. villa played nearly 20 more games this season thats a lot for an injury ravaged squad .. 3 acl at the start of the season to 3 starters in Mings Buendia then kamara plus ramsey and morgan plus more .. i thought our season was over at the start its an incredible achievement to get to a semi and fighting for 4th
Welcome to the big leagues rookie
thats it
Stop making excuses you bottled it.
You must be 6-2 the stomach mate.
@@wayne5240 lol 😂 genuis
Olympiakos finished third in their Europa League group and were given a second chance to compete, as was co-finalist Fiorentina. Villa were completing against a Europa League team. They are in those competitions year after year, Villa were in their first in 13 years. In the group stages Villa had many shaky moments, due to it being their first time in the competition. They fought through and made it to the semis. That's credit to them. Experience? Pep failed in quarterfinals, Arteta failed in quarterfinals, Klopp failed in quarterfinals, Moyes failed in quarterfinals. All that experience and they still lost. As the saying goes, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." We reset. We go again in Europe next season. Up the Villa.
As an ympiacos fan I will say that as a fan of football the mistake that Aston Villa did is that underestimate Olympiacos, which will be in a certain degree total acceptable but when everyone underestimate their opponent is a crave mistake. We can't take all the Villa achieved and had in their season. About tiredness my team still play even some weeks before the first matches to enet Europa league or Champions league or conference. Aston Villa next year would be in Champions League.
Unai Emery has got to be a very serious contender for manager of the season.. He just has to .
Martin Keown talks sense unlike the other two clowns. Villa were lucky to get past Lille in the quarters. Just because a more experienced West Ham won the ECL last year, doesn’t mean Villa are a failure for not winning it. The lack of respect for European teams is laughable. Are not Olympiakos in Europe most seasons too?
Villa are down to the bare bones through huge amounts of injuries and we have played over 50 games this season with mostly the same players now .
Mings , beundia , Ramsey , Roger’s , kamara , Moreno , telimans .Martinez for a small stint too . And all the ones in between , we done well to get to the semis and fully deserve 4th
His Crystal Palace were world beaters mind, nearly sent the cult into closure
And you’re not even taking in to account the he injuries - to get where we have is amazing all things considered 💯
I don’t think the Premier League isn’t as good as we think. Villa will get crushed in the Champions League based off what I have seen and i am scared for them next year. English fans are so arrogant when it comes to English clubs and the national teams, i think it rubs off on the players and it gives foreign teams a boost. A few foreign players have said the English arrogance gives them more motivation
El kaabi should get a shot in the prem, maybe it works maybe it doesn’t, he is pretty affordable and a mid table team might greatly benefit from him
Villa have had a surprising season but their still miles off the big elite clubs but the fans can be happy with a top half finish
All the money in the world and best league in the world and they all get whacked by the “poorer” footballing nation’s clubs and internationals🤣
Thread bare squad. No excuse. Just facts.
PL is still the best league in the world. When Serie A was the best in the 1990s, they didn't win every Champins league, or cup winners cup or UEFA Cup. but thy still had the best players and most money. Real Madrid and Barca only won many CLs in the 2010s due to Messi and Ronaldo, and the PL then was richer and had as good players overall. Olympiakos are in Europe every year, like Celtic or Rangers, as they're the biggest clubs in a weak league. What is experience then?
Champions league from 89-2000 was an Italian finalist in 9 of them years .Uefa cup from 89-99 had 8 ALL ITALIAN finals ffs . 4 cup winners cups from 90-99 including 3 ALL Italian finals . Don't leave any of them facts stop you talking complete and utter nonsense tho
In Greece the champions should play 3 qualification rounds to go through group stage, in prem the 4th...
god keown were did you get that jacket from🤣🤣
2:51 Simon said English teams haven’t won very many European trophies. Erm, West Ham& Mancityare the current holders of 2 trophies. Chelsea & Liverpool have won in the last 5 years.
Olmpiakos have loads of European experience! 😂😂😂
Villa have been running on fumes the past few months. Absolutely devastated with long term injuries to key players, vital to the system.
Credit where it's due.
The only disappointment I had with the second leg (the first was a write off bearing in mind the good performance from Olympiakos' midfield and striker, and the atrocious performance of the ref, and a miserable day for Luiz), was the fact that second half we didn't look anywhere close to scoring. First half, I thought we were in with a good chance even at a goal down, and that we'd turn the screw second half. But it went backwards.
By the way, fans wax lyrical about Tim Iroegbunam, but he was a lost puppy out there
Ive watched Newcastle play Villa twice this season. Both games Villa had chances but got blew away by pace on the counter attack. They play a high line and any team with pace troubles Villa.
Keown with the excuses for Villa. They were mugged off by a Greek side, for all the high prem wages the players earn they were well beaten by so called inferior opposition
As an Aston Villa fan, and one from the United States, I have the luxury of not being steep in Premier league culture such that I see it as some type of end all be all in the football world.
On any given night, any team can be any team in the world. Olympian did their job in Birmingham.
Additionally, Olympian is a good side that has had a good season in their domestic league.
Furthermore, Olympian took full advantage of the time to rest and prepare. We were dead on our feet and still put in a decent effort, though not enough to move forward.
It’s not a huge disappointment. Would we have liked to win the silverware, absolutely. But as Emery said, we move on quickly and focus on securing fourth place and a champions league spot.
We’ve already secured an opportunity to play in Europe again next season.
It’s hard to be disappointed when we’ve gone from 17th, to seventh, to fourth; at the very least fifth. Significant improvement, Ownership backing a Top manager, and players developing is a beautiful thing.
Not only did they not win, they got absolutely SMASHED by Olympiacos. Humiliating.
"4th in the Premier League should beat 4th in the Greek league" is just lazy punditry from Simon. Villa are a spent force, now. Injuries have caught up with them.
can we just say it how it was... Villa have had bad injury issues and has in return caused us not to be able to rotate our team, therefore tiredness was a huge issue and has been in the issue over the last 6 to 8 games... also Olympiacos took advantage of this and played some great football/tactics so deserved to win. end of.
Semi final and 4th in prem should we be disappointed don't think so. Only time talk about the villa .UTV
It all comes down to villa having major enjurys and the players that have been filling in.. are absolutely knackered as thay been playing none stop all season. If villa had most there players. Thay go on and win it.
Villa had a depleted squad 12 fit players
Our first team 11 we had no back up on the bench, only youth players, there are 9 players out injured, we are now depleated and just scraping through games, full respect to olyimpiacos, the damage was done at villa park, we struggled at Lille
But you seem to forget European teams in domestic league get a break in between there knock out stages where as the premiership demands keep playing regardless
But onto Liverpool and palace nxt games and just scrape the 4th spot
"If Olympiacos can come to Villa Park and score 4 goals I can't see why Villa can't go to Athens and score too". Cause the atmospheres in football matches in England are nowhere near to the greeks. Plus I'm tired of all these so called sport journalists not believing or understanding how this happened and blame the losing club instead of delivering flowers to the winners too. Brits are butthurt and the rest of Europe are here for it.
Aston Villa suffered lot of injuries this season.
No plan no desire and no passion is what we were lacking plus a poor defence which was our undoing, no player came off that pitch saying they gave there all.
Some perspective needed… injuries have ruined Villa. Look at the bench last night, there was no one to bring on with any experience. Those who were playing are playing through the pain because there’s no-one to come in.
Aston Vanilla.
West Ham are massive.
Massive 😂 never won a league title in 128 years 😂
@@chucky7826 don’t burst his bubbles
@@Jgf802😂😂
just about a top 20 club, just about, big stadium, but ermm, yep
Even your colours was handed to you by us.
Have to say I agree with Martin on this debate. I think a lot of the Prem teams have run out of gas as the season nears toward end
Brilliant season for Villa overall.
You know stats wise both games villa dominated them, they where just lucky. It happens. And Villa have 8 key players out injured
Congrats to Mr Marinakis - hopefully the British media will show some respect now on his ownership of Olympiacos & Forest. This is where Forest want to be ❤
Jordan is constantly guilty of recency bias. Man city and west ham won European trophies last season but now prem clubs are poor because we've had collectively a poor season this year. It will be a different story next year and no doubt Jordan will change his tune then
Injury hit team, fixture congestion. European leagues were given additional time off.
TV broadcasters have too much power in football.
Pound for pound, player to player, the English PL is definitely at the top with player technical quality, however there is without a doubt a problem with the English teams mentality and/or approach to European / competition football. That's where the real conversation should be had.
Villa looked knackered
Villa couldnt put a glove on Simon Jordan but we will!!
First look and the history of Olympiacos in the european cups and then call it lack of exprerience. Learn to do your job correctly for once, you naive reporter.
Such a small club mentality how can you sit there and say you don't have the squad to win this game? their entire squad is worth less than 1 of your players and i'm not exaggerating, with that context moaning about injuries is wild. There are no excuses and I don't see how you can be happy with that result as a villa fan, have higher standards
In fairness, Villa are not a big club in this modern era of football, only historically they are big
@@KS-xj7ux and Olynpiacos are a big club? This is the conference league bro if they lost to Madrid like this I would agree with you. This is a greek team who's most expensive player is worth 3.5 mil, It's a must win game.
Am a villa fan this torment was never going too be , villa have top 4 spot and stand challenging for that spot West ham gambled all there eggs in too conference league and was close too relegation.
Media like talk dnt talk about villa injuries own manager don't excuses for our injuries norh dose the fan base yet all other clubs do.
There been two questionable descions that emery has made that's backfired with our injury list and fatigue. Chelsea first round should of played more youth players given first team a rest and this one should given youth and those possible leaving a game too try pursasde the club too keep them. This is villa first time in ages and energy emotional would have got too them. Yes Olympicos may not won anything yet they have quilfied for this type thing more recently then villa and more often. So there club know what it takes.
Villa need a clear out of players and hope we able too have better players for subs or any injuries.
We lost mings buedia right beginning and near end of transfer window. Kamara that important we lost too. Ramsey too so many others. We hardly spent compared too other teams.
Villa issue like many is FFP our current wage bill is 90million meaning the entire tv revenue is spent on wages. This has double since new owners.
There should be a blanket top rate wage for players and also on transfers. Both of them would help keep clubs stable. U have a tire system of players. If player dose well then transfer fee is higher and wages. If player is bad his value decrease and so would expected salary. Wages and transfer fees killing the game. For my idea too work all clubs and league champions league eufea and conference would need too agree.
Any club in debit carnt make transfers unless debit paid off.
Owner can use own money for transfers tho wages must fall into being covered by club income in generates. I have many more ideas and so easy.
West Ham Utd beat Olympiacos twice in their euro league matches and pushed them into the Conference. They are not that good. Villa really blew it.
Olympiakos beat West Ham 2-1 in Piraeus
This really puts into perspective how pundits view teams. It doesn’t matter that Villa are on their knees, context isn’t important, it’s all about a name vs another name, Squad vs Squad.
Olympiacos were great, give them their flowers. Also, as a professional, understand the context before you speak. Villa are top 4 in a league that couldn’t care less about the conference league and continues to pile on. That’s fair, that’s why there’s the money on offer, Sky want the fixtures.
Understand the gateway to entry to European football, I bet he does if Palace ever attempt it.
But Olympiakos is a good team in Europe in the last few years or ...?
Best league in the world yet not one teamin any of the european finals. Speaks volumes
The caller Scott knew nothing about Villa - 5 at the back? McGinn isn’t good going forward (he’s close to Scotland’s top goalscorer)…
Extremely disrepectful from talksport towards Olympiacos
Villa deserve criticism last few weeks we have been bang bang average. I still think we are decent side but we scraped through against Lille. Atmosphere at Villa park has been horrendous, so quiet. There was no way in a million years we were winning that after the horrific show of the first leg. Overall though it’s been a good season and hopefully we don’t take the his poor form forward.
