Aston Villa 2-3 Leeds United Post Match Thread

Leeds are a 2nd division club. Won barely anything bar a purple patch. And pretend they've won the European Cup.

Fuck off Leeds.

And Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

lovely to see the spirit of Christmas is alive and well with that one.

We average just over 30k. We need to be going much higher before expanding the ground is a good idea

I said when and if we get in the Premier League first. Demand will exceed 42k

I know one thing for certain, our ground capacity will need to be increased if and when we get promotion - 41,411 is amazing - 40,000 plus is becoming more the norm. I'm sure our mega rich owners realise this. Imagine the demand in the PL! The ground needs to be increased (if possible) to 52,000 at least.

That's the long term plan of the new owners but for now rebuilding the squad has to take priority. I'm all in  favour of rebuilding the North Stand once the squad is strengthened as it's looking pretty shoddy and outdated. But I'd do it in a way that it could be expanded when the time is right.

we should of taken the point at 2-2 instead we were rushing to take goal kicks throw ins etc.
Leeds wanted to play at a higher tempo. we looked like we were too knackered in the 2nd half to do that so should of just taken the point.
The subs didn't make any impact when Kodjia went off we had nothing up front.

I don't think leeds will win the league I predict they will fall away.

Think we just got caught thinking it was a total must win for top 2. I agree take the point and hope Norwich hit a 1 win in 6 spell in next two months.

Leeds will go up imo. They haven't even got their full team out (no Bamford and Barry Douglas in their 11) yet have now won 6/6 after a dodgy patch which is exactly what you need to do for top 2.

Sorry I know I’m writing this a day after the major disappointment of losing in the way we did.  I think a sense of Perspective might be required. It was going to be a toughie against Leeds with a full squad to pick from based on our defensive frailties, to have no Grealish & Axel as well made it daunting ( sorry please don’t compare
 Bamford and Douglas to those two ) There’s still 69 points to play for FFS  so whilst I accept it’s a tough ask for top two I don’t see ten Brazil’s circa 1970 above us .

With the injuries it feels like last season. We had won 7 in a row and then lost momemntum when Jack and Adomah got injured against SHA. I'd be more confident of getting closer to top 2 if Grealish return was imminent but seems like he's a fair few weeks away from playing.

I still have more confidence in the entire senior team of the club to both purchase, dispose of and develop what we’ve got . Glass half full here , but yes I’d obviously wind the clock back two weeks to the Boro, Derby and Albion performances.

Was just watching again the highlights of the World Cup game Japan vs Belgium. It reminded me so much of our game yesterday vs Leeds and certainly the misery of how it all ended.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Bielsa is using some undetectable form of amphetamine on his players. Or maybe roids. Mad staring eyes, manically munching on power bars and charging around like demented dervishes. Also Alioski has an asymetrical haircut, a sure sign of febrile fuckwittery. Hutton should have chinned the twat when he was fucking around at that throw in.

I reckon they spiked Elmo's half time drink as well with some class of barbiturate. The dopey wassock.
