2010/2011 Europa League

[Guest jocky]

Good result for Celtic but then again 2 goals might not be enough because out away form is disgraceful. Maybe Lennon can tuen that around.

[ONO]

Albrighton has been rated very highly by Villa fans for over 2 years now. It is good to see him playing so well and he is definitely capable of more.

[Baddar]

No Gerrard or Torres tomorrow for Liverpool. Makes things a bit more interesting, for sure.

[Pesci]

I can definitely see us struggling tonight. I think maybe a 1-0 loss then us winning in extra-time or a 1-1 draw is the most likely way of us going through. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't even score and went out through a combination of defending calamities.

Team for tonight's game: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Kelly, Kuyt, Poulsen, Lucas, Aurelio, Cole, N'Gog

Looks like it'll be a 4-4-1-1 with two banks of four (similar to the Man City game, just with players more suited to that task in Poulsen and Aurelio), although hopefully Kuyt will play further forward in his role as a right-sided striker rather than a winger, because that role doesn't suit him at all.

Can't really complain about the line-up or the formation overall though, we're hamstrung a bit by injuries and a tough away game in a hostile environment isn't the time to be chucking in youngsters.

Liverpool 1-0 down after 3 minutes.

[Hobo]

I could see us losing. I just could.

WAHEY

1-1, Johnson bursts down the right, slides it into the box and a Trabzonspor defender pokes it in. About 7 minutes left, and Trabzonspor need 2.

edit: 2-1 now, Kuyt scores after Cole's effort is parried out.

[ONO]

Ireland playing very well tonight.

[The Quasi Juice]

Wow, Utrecht are raping Celtic at the moment, 4-0.

[Lineker]

Oh dear Celtic.

Heskey just missed a total sitter; and now makes up for it by scoring with his chest.

[ONO]

Lol.

[EddieG]

Fucking Belgiums

[Kaney]

Fuck Utrecht.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Belgians?

Vienna = Austrian

Utrecht = Dutch

Trabonspor = Turkish

Timosoura = Romanian

I don't know what Belgians you're thinking of >_>

[ONO]

Same old fucking shit.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Don't worry ONO, once Villa get a solid manager at the helm they'll easily get another top six finish so they can throw away NEXT years Europa League campaign

[Guest Jacob]

Ireland was our only stand out. Ironic that after all the fuss over the Milner transfer saga, Ireland is the only one who has not featured in a winning team.

Absolutely fuming right now. If we dont get any players in over the next five days, we will sruggle to make top ten.

[ONO]

What manager in their right mind would want to take that job on?

[EddieG]

Belgians?

Vienna = Austrian

Utrecht = Dutch

Trabonspor = Turkish

Timosoura = Romanian

I don't know what Belgians you're thinking of >_>

I'm Dutch, and a Feyenoord fan, therefore

AA Gent = Belgians
