[EL] Villarreal (H): Match Thread

[redmike65]

For all the great pressing we have created nothing. That's a worry.

What the ****?

Pressing keeps Villarreal deeper than they'd otherwise be, they had a few sighters and Mig made a good save, also the pressing keeps the ball up their end and so they score an OG in the case of this game.

****ing vermin the lot of them, nearly as bad as atletico. Soldado the worst of the lot.

Lovd the pressing, just need to capatalise on their mistakes

[danperkins]

Great half, Lovren, Can and Milner have been outstanding. Worried about Moreno though. Disappointed with Lallana, Firmino and Coutinho.. so much talent and need to be working their goal. It's such a precarious scoreline and they are clearly dangerous on the break. Need that second goal early just in case they nick one.

[BobTheCharmer]

They have a very good defence to be fair.

Yes but we need to work the keeper.

[Fosterbloke]

Ideally we need to be 3-0 up to have any kind of safety net. At 0-0. 1-0 or even 2-0, they only need to score one.

I'm happy with our play but we haven't created a single shot that is my concern. Not hard to understand?

[redmike65]

Nogoalso will hopefully get sent off early in the 2nd half.

we really do, he's looked so dodgy tonight.

[Fredo]

We've left ourselves exposed a few times. With a bit of luck they would have had an away goal.

[Nicey]

Come out like that again and we will put another 2 past them

W e are having this

We have been a bit brain dead in the final 3rd, too many hopeful crosses, we just need a bit of patience. Be gutting to lose any semi final but this would feel like a huge missed chance, against an average opponent. Hopefully giving them too much respect in the 1st leg doesnt cost us.

Completely agree.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

All of a sudden feels like being at home for the 2nd leg is a disadvantage doesn't it?

Keep your fingers crossed eh

[Buzzo]

We are in a slightly tricky 'stick or twist' situation now. Need to keep it tight, and need a goal. We are playing well.

Realistically, given the season we've had it is nothing short of miraculous we are so close to a final and a champions league place.

Exciting times. Let's see this out though.
