One thing's for sure, Aston Villa won't be winning a cup any time soon.

Just hope that the question mark is never removed from the OT.

As far as i'm aware Defoe is still fit and training with the first team ,so i'd far rather see him come on as sub than Sakala .

Of course Sakala has pace, but so does Usain Bolt.

Regardless of age ,Defoe is a natural goal scorer,..it's what he does.

Think we're doing ok ,but they've ripped us open too easily down their right side though, need to sort that out.

If it's an individual, no. Gegenpressing is a team tactic, whereby the team who have lost possession cut off passing lanes around the ball, and smother the space. Which is different from someone pressing. 

 

"Gegenpressing means 'counter-pressing' in German, and has become a buzzword thanks to its most famous proponent, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, who honed the tactic in his earlier [clubs Mainz and Borussia Dortmund]. As Klopp explained, 'The best moment to win the ball is immediately after your team just lost it." 

 

I will concede, these 'new' tactical terms we throw about are not always new; merely refined from older ideas, and given a more accurate name. 

Would you say it was a bit like being up 2-0 away from home, then conceding four in quick succession ? ?

"gegenpressing" WTF?? Thats not a real word! 

 

I am amazed anyone thinks we will be favourites against a side who made the CL SF about 12 months ago, coupled with our own form being, well, pish so far this season. I will gladly take anything other than defeat in this one tonight. Our success in this group will surely come from the other 4 games.

 

Of course I hope I have overestimated them and that we hit our form tonight and if that happens, along with our normal big European night atmosphere, we can of course put this mob to the sword like so many in the last 3 years who on paper would be favourites against us.

 

Really looking forward to the game now, not least to see if I can spot the "gegenpress". What number is he anyway?

 

 

From German, popularised by Jürgen Klopp (1967-), German football manager.

A tactic in which a team, after losing possession of the ball, immediately attempts to win back possession, rather than falling back to regroup
