Unai Emery: "We lost on Thursday and lost before against Fulham. We are analysing deeply a lot of things about the players playing in the starting XI. We lost on Thursday and last week. Maybe it's better to continue playing with the same players, but we lost."

@VillaViews_ If we do lose to Liverpool and City, we'd have lost 13 games! Noone in history will have qualified for the Champions League, when losing so many games and scoring so few goals.

@manvillan1212 He's been crap for most of the season, apart from a purple patch of about 10 games. However, he has needed resting for ages. It's not all his fault.
The snowflake Ambient has blocked me, so I can't respond to him calling me a w**ker. But clearly Ambient thinks we busted a gut to win, cared passionately and believes noone will be upset by this. I won't stoop as low as Ambient.
I have, at times, been critical of Emery. But tonight is the first time I have been DISGUSTED. Professional sportsman should never not try. This is the worst, passive, couldn't care less display by ANY team, all season. All fans will want us to lose to Forest. Rightly so.
#avfc
Pathetic, disgusting, abject.
We've handed Forest the Europa, we've busted on 6th, and we've let Spuds escape relegation.
All things considered, one of the worst nights in Villa's recent history

@AwayDaysFB Villa are almost certain to finish in the top 5, but are trailling from the first leg of their Europa League semi-final. The manager has to do what he thinks is best for Villa.
Villa fans heading out of the ground after just 25 minutes after going 2-0 down to Spurs.. Have to say it is disgraceful that Villa are allowed to play a 2nd string team and essentially throw away the game to keep Spurs in the league. Absolutely stinks.
@AwayDaysFB Its got nothing to do with keeping Spurs in the league. It's to put pressure on Forest. Villa have now forced Forest's hand on their game on Monday. This gives Villa a big advantage for the second leg against Forest.
@Shropshire_Mag@AVFCOfficial Some of us are furious too. I get the semi-final situation, but we still need 4 points for CL and I really, really want Spurs to go down. Dangerous decision by Emery.
@AVFCOfficial If this lineup ends up keeping Spurs up, you lot should be barred from the Champions League as punishment. No thought for the greater good!
I speak for all hammers when I say we are all Aston Villa fans Tonight, we got very unlucky yesterday should of been given 2 penalties, hit the wood work 4-5 times and if Spurs pull of a win that's the type of luck that gets you down... #WHUFC#AVFC
Right now, 5 teams can overtake is. Win tonight and only Bournemouth can. We need to go strong and get momentum, ahead of Thursday. But Spurs will be fired up and massively incentivised. I don't fancy us at all. I might take a draw now. Would keep Spurs in the bottom 3 too. #avfc
@BraddersOak I have to agree. Emery has worked wonders for Villa but has consistently fallen at the final hurdle when glory is in sight - 1 chance left to change it. Going out over 2 legs to Forest will be the final straw...
After the Olympiakos, Palace and Man Utd conservative bottle-jobs, we HAD to be positive tonight. We weren't and were second best in a big game, yet again. No tempo, momentum, drive, purpose or quality. Created nothing and deservedly beaten. To some, it's not a surprise. #avfc
Carbon copy performance of Olympiakos away leg, Palace and Man Utd. Unai didn't learn. We came for a draw. We got what we deserved. No argument. No debate. We had another reminder against Fulham. Tonight, we got Fulham 2.0
Another Unai masterclass.

@AidanHosty Yes, but against a team unbeaten in 9, with wins over Porto and Aston Villa, draws at Man City and Porto, a 5-0 at Sunderland, against our proven big game bottlers. Big advantage Forest.
We can definitely overturn that 1-0 at VP next week. We defended well and apart from the stupid penalty we looked solid. Rest a few on Sunday and we win next Thursday. Chill out! #AVFC 💜💙💜
