UEFA Europa League and Conference League 2023/24

[DenverSpur]

Watkins off. Problem with his left knee. If they lose him for any time their CL pursuit will suffer badly as he contributes huge percentage of their goal contributions ( score and assist).

 

[chas vs dave]

Just been subbed off. Big blow for Villa.

Looked to be struggling. I'm wondering if the adrenaline carried him through.

 

[ItsBoris]

How funny would it be if Villa won England the 5th spot because of a conference league run, but then finished 6th

 

[tobi]

Welbeck scored from outside the area.

 

[ajspurs]

Yep. No McGinn and possibly Watkins for their next few league games would be a massive blow for them.

Even tonight, they don't really look greatly convincing. Whatever spark they previously had in the season is just not there at the moment.

McGinn is the goofiest runner I've ever seen. Wtf is he doing with his arms

 

[Col_M]

Did Watkins limp off or stretcher ?

They're shit

Go on Qarabag!

They're shit

I don't see how they get any better playing this way without huge investment in the first team, and I can't see them attracting those next step players.

 

[Tucker]

Ajax are crap.

 

[ItsBoris]

If Qarabag somehow win I'd say the coefficient is probably wrapped up

How much does a Villa shirt cost. A slight pull on it and it rips!! I’d expect better quality from a shirt I bought from a street trader.

Blimey, Qarabag have doubled their lead against Leverkusen with 10 men.

Castore have had massive quality issues with their shirts for a number of teams this season. I think Villa are moving to Adidas, same with Newcastle. Been complaints about the shirts capabilities to deal with perspiration too.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they held on for 20 min with 10 men

Must be made out of paper. From the view behind the goal (kind of straight-on to Duran), he just kept running and you wouldn't even know his shirt had nearly been ripped off his back, there was no interruption to his motion whatsoever.

Scoring with a numerical disadvantage is supposed to be the difficult bit and they've just done that (and yes I'm aware I might've jinxed it).

Edit - ok, ffs, Leverkusen have one back.

 

[only1waddle]

Ajax down to 10 so that should be it.

Frimpong goal back
