GWT: Europa/Conference League - Knockouts

[Evilo]

Lille already eliminating Villa's advantage from the first leg. As a Spurs fan I hope Villa goes all the way in Europe so they're tired in the league.

Lille dominated the first leg. Should never have lost.

 

[Savant]

Probably cannot watch today, but here ya go since you guys like your lineup cards



Pretty much an A Minus team. Certainly not waiving the white flag, which I guess is nice; but so many of these players are jaded; especially Alexis after carrying them for months.

I guess we will see what happens. Have fun kiddos

 

[luiginb]

I see Liverpool still going for it, I'm gonna watch then until it stops making sense to.

I’d just be happy with a clean sheet today. Whatever happens happens. Would feel decent if the team had any gas left in the tank, but they have clearly been running on empty

 

[luiginb]

Villa playing like a small team ffs

Impressed with Lille's team defense, Andre such an underrated player.

 

[gary69]

Fiorentina have had better chances, but just haven't been able to score, so the tie is still scoreless.

Now that Plzen had a player sent off at 67th minute, you'd think Viola will be able to find the net at least once.

 

[luiginb]

Villa now in trouble, Andre that I just mentioned before scored a great header to put Lille in front.

 

[gary69]

Villa scores at 87th, Cash makes it level overall.

Yeah Lille made one mistake all game, but the blunder by Chevalier was massive.

 

[gary69]

Fiorentina couldn't score during 90 mins, but start the extra time by scoring immediately, by Nico Gonzalez.

 

[luiginb]

Ref should have shown the second yellow to Andre twice so far, for protests. He's letting the atmosphere get to him.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Rough penalty for Atalanta to take 6 minutes in.

 

[Live in the Now]

Yeah this isn't over. Not yet.

 

[gary69]

Fiorentina makes it 2-0 with a 5 against 1 counterattack, after Plzen had brought almost everybody up for a near corner throw-in.

 

[maclean]

Liverpool definitely have it in them to turn this around. Atalanta have their work cut out for them to keep control

Yeah Atalanta isn't a team that's comfortable defending, we might get a classic on our hands, as I doubt they won't score at least one either.

That Liverpool goal was eighty percent Trent, there's no player in football who's more precise with his long balls than he is, amazing player offensively.

 

[Live in the Now]

Atalanta is pushing so extremely high. Early on Liverpool are making lots of buildup passes you don't ordinarily see in their play because there's rarely that much space in their games. The last phase is a good example. I couldn't tell you the last time a team pressed our defenders with four players.

 

[maclean]

West Ham put one in, kind of regret not leaving that one up on the second monitor

 

[Live in the Now]

Now also by them pushing forward with four players, any giveaway we have in our own half automatically creates a chance for them. Gotta sort that out.

 

[JoVel]

Chevalier coming up big in overtime for Lille. Two big saves.

West Ham put one in, kind of regret not leaving that one up on the second monitor

I'm switching over to that one once Lille-Villa ends. Title hangover any chance?

 

[Live in the Now]

Now they're trying to force Konate to pass forward and well all the steam went out of our play once they started doing that.

 

[gary69]

Ref showed a 2nd yellow for E.Martinez during PKs, but then waiwed it off immediately, because it would have meant the keeper being sent off.

 

[JoVel]

Emi Martinez was just shown the second yellow during penalties, but wasn't sent off? No idea what that was all about.

 

[luiginb]

Trent's long passes are making me aroused.

 

[gary69]

Villa now in trouble, Andre that I just mentioned before scored a great header to put Lille in front.

Benjamin Andre misses the last penalty, so Villa advance.
