Aston Villa vs Leeds Match Thread

[Marton]

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...

Fucking hell. Westwood MUST know where the bodies are buried. His last start he made 18 completed passes. Yes ladies and gentlemen you heard it right. Thats EIGHTEEN passes for a central midfielder!

Opposition managers must rub their hands, smile and tell their midfield "nowt to worry about here, you've won this battle already!!"

maybe its just 3 games in 7 days, keeps them fresh

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.

Anyone else's stream lacking audio?

Yup. Outside of that I would say this is pretty close to our best 11.

4-4-2 according to SS1. They reckon it'll be Ayew on the left and Grealish up front though, which seems counter-intuitive to me...

[Martyn Smith]

Westwood has photos. So does Jedinak. Convinced of it...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

First thing to come to my mind seeing that team selection was old Albert's famous quote defining insanity - "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Has Grealish and Ayew ever worked?

Westwood is in for his.....pick one from:

Creativity
Tough tackling
Athletic ability
Organized
Pointing

Yes, mine

[Martyn Smith]

Bench does seem top heavy.

Keeps it ticking over apparently.  Not sure how if he does touch the fucking ball.
