PSG vs Aston Villa - CL QF 1st leg - pre match thread

[PaulWinch again]

Not really. He’s had an injury and he is the only forward who is a realistic option to hold the ball up top.

This really feels like a tie where we can't win it in the first leg, but we can definitely lose it.

[VillaTim]

I'm expecting them to attack us from the off . This totally suits our game . Defend well we could really do some damage on the counter.

That's quite profound.  Did you have any help with writing this, say from Darren Woolley?

Bit early? The game is next Wednesday.

3-1 to them but we do a 1994 Tranmere return leg at VP and Rogers scores the winning penalty - lovely....

[RamboandBruno]

Trying to get inside UE's head I think the line up will be -

--------- Martinez ---------
Cash Konsa Torres Digne
--- Kamara - Tielemans -
Rogers ------------- Ramsey
---------- Ascensio---------
--------- Rashford-----------

Pretty much this, though like others i think McGinn will be in for Asensio. Can’t see Ollie starting at all.
Can’t predict a score, just hope its all to play for at Villa Park

I’m really optimistic about the first leg  think it’ll be 1-1  we need to have a realistic target for the second leg and I think we will have

I also think the line up will be this but McGinn for Asensio. Asensio in for Ramsey if we need to attack more. Cash subbed for Disasi if we need to defend more, how Cash will deal with the footwork of their Georgian left winger I will try not think about. Rogers and Tielemans plays every game -not rested yesterday either, their capabilities must be outstanding then.

I'm making the trip over to Paris for this, ticketless, but c'est la vie!
The mere fact that I've got the opportunity to do this is just fantastic and I'll certainly be enjoying the occasion!
Come on the Villa boys! UTV!

It’s this Wednesday. Next Wednesday is a week Wednesday.

Still a bit early, should have been later today. We needed more time to soak-in the magnificent another "6 pointer" win yesterday.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Mad to think that this time last week, we still hadn't played Preston.

[Rigadon]

We are quite possibly peaking at the exact right moment.  I'm confident, which when considering the opposition is quite odd.
