Villa were being talked up as a favourite for this tournament. Might still be but looks like they have some work to do to get there.

I’ve always thought Pellegrini wears the stereotypical vampire beautifully.

AEK 1 up against Brighton early... from a corner

Because he's a good co presenter

Vampire bites the Zombies !!

By all accounts, Betis all over Rangers for 35 minutes and the muppets pulling their hair out at how poor Rangers are. Better from them for last ten minutes, and, apparently, are once again world beaters.

We were their cup final.

Hammers 1 down, terrible from Agbonna. Poor performance so far.

A sad indictment of where our game is. Plenty people said we couldn’t have expected to do any better than we did (I disagree) but then we see Legia Warsaw good enough to beat them and West Ham getting beat at home by a team I’ve never heard of in my life.

1-0 rangers

Are you suggesting the Villa game against us was a match? Think the BBC take on it is correct.

Really surprised at how poor Betis have been.
What's the difference in budgets?

Thought they were decent in spells but their finishing was pretty poor

Well, that's disappointing. They were much more fun last season.

Anyone else think McInnes doesn't like McCoist too much.

AEK very good result against Brighton

Just seen the Liverpool penalty. WTF????

I wonder just how much better you think we could have done. Pumped out by a lower aggregate score? Anything else and you're having a laugh.

Villa have far, far better players than us. It wasn't a contest. Villa played a much poorer team tonight than the one Vs us at ER.

You not hearing of a team has no bearing on their quality.

Kind of interesting though. Comparing our match v villa to Aberdeens v Frankfurt. It does highlight how bad our tactics were v villa and possibly the player discipline on the pitch. We’ve seen multiple instances now of both Aberdeen and hearts playing against sides in Europe (Liverpool, Burnley, Frankfurt) and giving them a close run game. It is possible.

None of those sides had managers anywhere near Unai Emery in quality tbh. It was a poor Liverpool side hearts played. They got rattled off Spurs a year before.

It is possible, but if they turn up and try, we're ****ed.
