Leeds United 1-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

Poor defending for the equaliser we just seemed to walk through Leeds defence unchallenged

Give some credit to Taylor as he distracted their defenders allowing Adomah to skin Jansson before dummying their keeper.

I don't buy this about Bielsa doing the honourable thing, I think he had little choice.

He did though.  Leeds hadn't broke any official rules so he could have just shrugged.  He chose to do the decent thing.

Booing Jack for going down when clobbered by their thugs - at least he's used to it after playing Blues and Albion.  Christ knows what they'll be like in the actual play-offs.

Their thuggish challenges apart, my main concern today was how Bielsa managed to neutralise Jack today, having him man-marked. It worked a treat and I hope it's not something Albion decide to copy.

Defensively we were excellent, the midfield put in a shift but I saw little threat from Kodja, Green or El Ghazi. That's a big worry. Finally, today once again proved nobody gets to bully us, no matter how hard they try.

Talking about Taylor. See him get really angry, run up to a Leeds player, pinch his collar and then run off.....I'm hard I am.

Once I saw the team selection I chose to watch the Simpsons for health reasons. Glad I did. Injuries and possible suspensions and the pyscholgical advantage handed to Leeds. What a crap day.

The Simpsons forums are over there mate....

Just had Radio Leeds on in the car and apparently Bielsa has criticised Janssen for not respecting his authority.

Yes that was noticeable, got angry then quickly realised how out of his depth he would be in a row so left it to the bigger boys.

Fair play to Bielsa, he righted the wrong from his team.

Call me an old cynic but he realised it was a pointless game and seized the chance to restore his reputation. At a stroke he wiped ‘spygate’ off the slate and gained a good sportsman image

Lovely. Hope they fall out.

Only after Dean asked him. And he gave Terry a round of Argentinian fucks after the goal too.
Just glad that Adomah scored, imagine if he'd put it wide!

Mings gives credit

[Flamingo Lane]

Granted we did it and they didn't, but this thing about kicking the ball out of play when an opponent is on the floor is a nonsense.  I'm watching the Burnley v Man City game on TV now, and Chris Wood for Burnley was put clean through as the result of a move with a City player lying 'injured' on the floor.  Burnley just played on, and there not a single City player complained.   

[West Derby Villan]

Before they "scored" I thought it was a pretty good and even game. They had the majority of possession but we had the best chances. Thought we were the only one that would win. The incident obviously altered the game in their favour, but our defence were formidable and stood up to anything they threw at us, including Stead who had difficulty standing up! Hope the red gets rescinded but I don't expect Bamford to get done. All in all a good result under the circumstances with Mings a colossus, Leeds don't worry me anymore. UTV

It would have been quite funny if we'd chosen Jack to put the ball in the net for the goal they let us have back.

Think their fans would have gone absolutely bonkers.
