We really struggle against spurs high energy. Emery always seems to do something random tactically that doesnโ€™t come off. So 4-0 to them. Anything less and Iโ€™ll be very pleased. Iโ€™d love us to absolutely destroy them though. UTV!!

Not sure you can exclude Malen, he's a permanent member of the squad. With Pau due back before the knockouts start, I'd wager Disasi and Garcia miss out. Rashford and Asensio aren't coming to Villa without guarantees they're playing in the CL.

Why let him go before the game?? Crazy, weโ€™ve hardly got s squad at the moment

We've gotta stop handing out such huge contracts to players then fleecing the fans for all they're worth. Any player of ours shows a bit of form for a few months, they get a new deal. 96% ages to turnover is mind-blowingly unsustainable. The system also is rigged against us to never succeed.

I think the other key issue is that the financial rules you have to adhere to from the Premier League' s allowed losses over 3 years, to UEFA's wage to turnover rules make impossible for challenging clubs to compete. We qualify for UCL, have to sell 2 key players. Citeh can spend whatever they like.

If we can get 80-100m for him, honestly I'd just let him go. He's a sensational talent, but clearly doesn't fit in with this squad and thinks he's much better than he currently is. Bar wonder goals, he doesn't offer much when he's on the pitch for work rate, has no tactical awareness etc.

Match getting tetchy due to complete incompetence by the ref. Happens with amazing regularity. The whole lot of the arenโ€™t fit for purpose.

fingers crossed. Just hope whoever comes in can solidify our leaky defence. And pass accurately over 10 yards....is that asking too much?

We seem to be the only club that lets the players go before the replacement is in the door. Don't think Carlos particularly wanted to leave based on his recent social posts. Seems like he loved the club (and the ยฃ100k a week :))

Also you're seeded based on your league finish, so incentive there for Barca to try and get 2nd place. You'd hope they win, it looks like our best hope (assuming we turn up against Celtic). But results get weird, who'd have thought Sporting, Brest and Bayern would lose last night.

Bayern donโ€™t fare too well at De Kuip

Sloppy short passing has been our undoing many times this season. Letโ€™s hope Villa sharpen up in the second half. #avfc

we live in hope. Been teetering on the edge of leaving since the EM takeover, but yesterday was the line in the sand.

Binned off Twitter for good. Only using BlueSky for Villa stuff, who's here to follow? #avfc
