Groan - Westwood back. Much rather have gone with Adomah.

Interesting to see how that's set up. 433 I guess rather than 442? Lack of width a worry.

Westwood in a 3 man midfield is a different prospect to Westwood in a 2.....

That if its a 4-3-3?

Agreed it's a surprising one, must be a midfield three

Dropping McCormack was the right call though, we need a lot more mobility up top tonight

Very surprised that Gestede is still involved, Boro deal must not be signed and sealed yet

Soon as I see his name I lose any confidence I had on us winning.
Can't wait for January, midfield reinforcements and no more Westwood!!
After his pathetic performance at Norwich he shouldn't be anywhere near starting eleven.
Please prove me wrong and will Villa!

I dont get Bruce...its almost January. Surely we are not keeping Westwood. He knows its going to piss of fans...
Might even bring boos if we lose or he stinks. What is the point? Starting him to prove he picks his own team?
Nothing good can come of it otherwise than a boost when he finally comes off.
Mindboggling...

As Tish obviously isn't going to be picked it's a choice between Gardner and Westwood, so it's a bit crap regardless of which one of those two it is. And we know it's one of those until sometime in Jan when we sign someone else so not much point (geddit) getting worked up that it's Westwood's turn to be mediocre.

Played okay overall but a real lack of quality once we're in the final third. Need more from Jack and Ayew. On the plus side we've dominated the most in form side in the division, we just need a cutting edge. Surprised that Leeds look they've come for a point.

Funny how different people see a game differently.  Tonight is the first game I've seen where I've been properly fucked off that we're in this shit league making hard work of seeing off absolute dross like Leeds fucking United.  They need to come out second half like they did the first but actually score a goal rather than flatter to deceive. 

That we've been the better side should be a given.
Title: Re: Aston Villa vs Leeds Match Thread
Post by: villa_cads on December 29, 2016, 08:39:20 PM
Not sure what our shape should be, but it's not really working, no balance. We should have constant pressure on Leeds. I'd like to see a simple 442, but that needs two good centre mids, and we don't currently have one.

Leeds haven't offered much though. We should win this at a canter.

Not bad. Good tempo, particularly in the first 20 minutes. We've not created enough out of the dominence though, but that's nothing new this season. Grealish needs to up his game today. He's playing in 2nd gear. Everything is a little lackadaisical with him tonight. If he's carrying an injury get him off.
Most surprising moment of the half was Westwood tracking a runner back, matching him for pace and sliding to the ball and clearing it for a throw-in. Astonishing moment.

I'd like to see Adomah on as he links well with Kodjia and he creates chances.

It feels like we're banking on Leeds tiring after they named a virtually unchanged team. The early press dropped off pretty sharpish, hopefully we're saving it for the 2nd half.

Yup. He screams every 5 minutes to make sure I haven't fallen asleep.

Great opening 4 minutes, best of the season but we never captured that momentum again.
The other point is why do we keep banging the ball up front when we have a team of midgets?

This horrible phase of the match when we've run out of ideas and just lump it forward.
