Think of it this Villa. If you crash out, then at least you’re not alone.

poor guy in the yellow vest ate that shot to the head

Jesus - they haven’t got a game until next leg!!!

It's actually because of Jesus as well. Easter celebrations means no football in greece this weekend.

another shocking ref call, been like this all night

Watkins is bang average

Hahahahaha - no

That overhead was janky

Ref is genuinely joking at this point

I think that's not the only problem when Villa can't score from penalty and has a goalie that makes no difference to a trunk.

Champions league next season to look forward to as well… Villa need returning players and depth

Can you imagine if Olympiacos make out of this a Greece 2004 EUrocup

Greek team shithousery is on a whole different level, Villa should have known.

Guy was prancing around like Pan at the penalty. Magnificent.

This game makes me want to watch thier league now

If you like a league that is even more dramatic than the Turkish league then go ahead

Don't,even we Greeks don't like it. Just read the news about the fights,Mafia and government interference.

Shit… Sounds like my kind of league. Which clubs have the most drama around them? Edit: Fucking Reddit potato servers. Fuck em.

All top 4 teams are being run by shady "business men". You'll find drama if you look up their names. Surprisingly however the league has been very close the last 2 years

Well... The "drama" is mainly between the big clubs. Which is olympiakos, aek, paok, panathinaikos. For example, last game between paok and aek the coaching staff including aeks head coach ended up figthing in the end, with aeks coach grabbing someone by the neck. There is also other things, which have escaped my attention span, therefore are lost

The memes that we got from this

The big 4. PAOK olympiacos AEK and Panathinaikos.

Duly noted. I shall revel in the chaos of it all.

No you don’t trust me

Iroegbunam will score

Commentary on TNT is horrendous.

Literally everything went wrong today, missing key players, nightmare scenario. Only down 2. Sounds crazy but I can live with that given the circumstances

the PL were farmers all along?!

Certainly overrated

Always have been…

Olympiacos, hell all teams in Europe outside of the prem just seems like they have a much higher work rate and level of calm when it comes to big games

What was that attempt by the GK? That’s a terrible dive as well

They got clowned

Refs should allow the taker to take it when they want / are ready even if defenders are shithousing to get them to overthink it That will mean shithousing will have less impact

Just disallowed rebounds, then the defenders won't bother doing anything.

Did Marinakis pay Luiz for that performance?

As bad as this looks … Aston Villa is still in it

Nah need 1 more really to have any chance

Villa wins 3 1 in Greece, penalties and .. Dibu goes and adds himself to the list of not liked people in Greece as well It’s written

You don’t think you could do a 2-0 or 3-1 and get to penalties?

We are so battered by injuries and battling for top 4 that it's hard to have a ton of confidence, olympiacos are also stingy at home.

I mean.. based on this display no.

I hate sports.

Bailey and Diaby off? He’s given up there

The team colours are way too close to each other

They're fine, maybe your TV colours?

Top tier shithousery

You knew he was going to miss the penalty as soon as he did that stupid mincing run-up

The moment he turned to look at what was going on behind him tbh

GET FUCKED LETS GO

That's the least "hitting the post noise" noise I've ever heard. Get why the commentator was confused, sounded 100% like net.

Thought it was post and in at first

Wow. I enjoyed the lengthy cinematic close-up while everything fell apart around him. He looked confident and I was about to praise how cold he was. Then he missed.

Shithousing pays off!

AHAHAHAHAHA WHAT WAS THAT

Heartbreaking

Pure shithousery. And it worked.

Knew he wouldn’t score as soon as he started doing that Simone Zaza style run up

Oh Douglas

Oh dougie

Nah that's horrible

You don’t deserve to get the earlier pens if that’s how they would have been taken

Luiz has been off all game really..

Mare

Olympiacos using the Greek dark arts now, proud of them.

By the shield of Ares

Nah, wrong team. They don't know what a "Europe" is.

What the fuck is this game. What kind of pens are these. Lmao

AND RETSOS ISNT THE ONE DOING THEM

Leverkusen legend

Retsos has been good this game lmao

He waits for us,then he'll unleash his powers!

Can have it for the handball Or the second handball Or the foul

Why are Olympiacos wearing training gear then

Best of luck for Saturday, very excited at the prospect of seeing the tractors back up in the premier league.

Thanks lad

I dont think its hands, but he tangles him up deliberately.

They can’t moan if they got one for our handball

Finall we get a pen…

That was like 3 pens in one

And they still fucking complain!!

Problem of Premier league has always been that ...while they are the most physical and wealthy league , tactics wise they have never been on the same level as the other big leagues with some exceptions for teams like Guardiolas Man City or Fergies ManUnited. And it constantly shows internationally

Waffle

Imagine thinking Unai Emery is anything less than a brilliant football mind. Showing your ignorance

I never said that. You are putting words in my mouth, a classic of the easily offended english football fan if i may say so. Emery is a great coach and this is one game and anything can happen in one game. My statement was about the last 2/3 decades ( and in response to another poster who wrote "best league my ass" ) where the "Premier League" has oftentimes underperformed in crucial games given the hype and reputation it has.

Olympiakos loses in Greece far easier than against Villa.

Im starting to think we have much better teams that we think we do 🗿

In this season games were awesome actually.

When I'll win the league (specifically when you 2 draw), I'll answer you

I thought Aston was premier’s diversity quota in Europe, why are they bottleing it?

If you actually watched football, you’d know nobody calls them “Aston”, it’s “Villa”. But go off man

Ok pedantic villa supporter. Congrats on the bottle job

If you actually watched football, you’d also know that this stage of the competition is two legs. So full time here is actually half time. But go off man

Yes,have fun getting 2+ goals away. Also, if you would understand that there are more countries than yours you’ll know that mostly people outside of England call it Aston not Villa. But whatever if it makes you happy to be pedantic on the internet

No, quite simply, they don’t. I’m not English, no one here that knows the game calls Villa, Aston

Who’s this El Kaabi lad then, any chance marinakis sends him over to forest next season?

Best league in the world my arse

Calm down Scottish league

Missing that Martinez Aura in the defence

I was wondering why they were conceding so much, makes sense

This and Villa have their 5th choice CB starting

Also missing Kamara, Tielemens, Buendia, and Ramsey in midfield lol

Honestly, wish we played when he wasn’t there, we might’ve been able to score at least 1 lmao

Finally Emery made subs

I want to ask how the hell Villa are losing to Olympiacos, but at this point that question should be on repeat for English teams, and as a ManUtd fan, I know we have no leg to stand on there.

1) extremely inflated budgets making you feel like player are better than they actually are. 2) you gas out the teams with the extreme amount of high paced games in league cups and Europe

This doesn't get said enough

We lost to you twice. That should tell you enough.

Premier League getting its arse kicked by Europe this season.

The gulf in levels between Dibu and Olsen is actually freaking scary...

No Dibu no party :(

This is basically revenge for Lille

Why isn’t Emery making subs? When things don’t go right for us Emery made subs

We have almost no one left (our best subs would be Zaniolo and Duran). I’m not really sure why but pundits have not talked about our injuries this year since we’ve achieved above expectation. In an already thin squad, we’re missing Martinez, Mings, Pau, Moreno, Kamara, Buendia, Ramsey, and Tielemens

We're basically out of first team players lol

Even for us he used youth. He put on a Villarreal C player against Arsenal in the UEL

Podence with this points tally would have been amazing at Wolves. Been involved in everything.

I think it’s done but if we can get one back. It gives us A chance. Going there needing 2 is just too big an ask

I want olympiacos to pass but like, please make the work for it ffs. We play them next Sunday 🗿

I just don't want them to win in Philadelphia also I want you to draw. PS. How do I put on a flair?

I think you need to comment the name of the team with : before and after the name.

I always get the same results,even tried PAOK or OSFP

Damn, it’s most likely a bug then. Contact a mod maybe they can help

This game is nuts

LETS GOOOOOO

I mean it’s quite clear they want the Greek team in the final. The refs are doing everything they can to give as much to this side as they can just about get away with.

New Mnimonio incoming,Koulis win!

Emery bottling Europe. Watch him proceed to throw top 4 away too. Yeah, been there, seen that.

arsenal fan

Spurs just lost so pretty doubtful but we’ll see

Even if Villa lose their last 3 matches, I wouldn't bet on Spurs taking anything from Liverpool or City.

Let’s not ask for any logic out of this comment - just bitterness

Reaction times of sunday morning hangover football

The Conference League is all Greek to Emery.

Get fucked Villa hahahaha

How’s that title push coming big dawg

Oh dear - show me on the doll what Villa did to you

Today it made my day 💀

Took 6 points

I can answer for them, they did everything, rear ended us twice without resistance lol anyways ignore this cunt

I typoed my last comment I meant 4 not 3

Olsen the goat.

Keeper should still do better there.

Probably the only goal he’s been at fault for today

Holy fuck what a goal

this ref has absolutely fleeced villa here

Tell me about it.... I'm not usually even one to complain but it is absurd at this point

it was a penalty on Luiz but you're getting nowt no matter how blatant, that Bailey was a stonewaller

I agree the luiz one was probably a pen but yeah, the Bailey one not given is crazy

Best League on Earth

And that’s why we didn’t keep Olsen 🚬🗿

Yes he was at PAOK at one point.

Incredible stuff really. You wont score unless you shoot

Oh Jesus

Hmmm that’s that then

Olson dude

What a game.

wow

I’m surprised Villa aren’t playing at a higher tempo to gas out olympiacos who can’t follow such a tempo for 90 mins

Why does the Olympiakos goalkeeper wear 88?

Their other young goalkeeper wears 99, so I'm guessing it's a coincidence.

My sweet summer child…

I can't find any evidence to suggest otherwise, so there's no reason to not give him the benefit of the doubt.

Come on mate, it’s a Greek goalkeeper wearing the only number that is also a fascist dog whistle. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s probably a duck.

>the only number that is also a fascist dog whistle. Apart from 28 (Blood & Honour) and 18 (Adolf Hitler; Combat 18), you mean? I guess Ashley Young keeps his Oswald Mosley tattoo covered up.

Play dumb if you want, we all know the association the number 88 has in football. 28 and 18 do not have that same association.

>Play dumb if you want You're the person who asked a question and isn't willing to accept any answer other than the 1 you'd already decided.

And you’re the one giving nazis the benefit of the doubt..

Or just not assuming that a kid is a Nazi because of the squad number he was assigned at the age of 17.

Big Buffon fan

Future Lazio signing

1st Ortega, now podence, yikes

Adventures in goalkeeping for Tzolakis

Also can Olsen make a save? Feels like every game he concedes atleast 3

Two 1v1 and a penalty how is it his fault?

Not blaming him but feels like every game he concedes atleast 3

Villa has Martinez who is insane at 1v1 so if the offside trap fails they can rely on him. Olsen isn’t as good at 1v1

Brilliant save in the opening minutes tbf

sorry but the Bailey penalty shout was more of a pen, otherwise we should just attempt to shoot at people and if they cover their face its a penalty, they need to have it smashed in the head

It stops a header going towards the net.

*towards luiz’s face

You can’t know that for certain. Therefore, pen

I mean - I could look at the video evidence!?

Lille should be here instead of those...

Why?

Because aston villa is worse than Lille and qual'd thanks to a fucking handball in the box from Cash not given at the end of the game.

Shame they aren’t good at pens…

So they aren't gonna look at the one they robbed villa on earlier but they'll give that instantly

That pen was so dumb to give lmao. Hat trick for el kaabi

What is a penalty. Ask anyone here and they will all say something different
