Aston Villa v Leeds United Match Thread

[Mister E]

Well, if there's something good to come out of it, maybe it's a need to improve the intensity of our game. Against Leicester we managed the game well; tonight we never started and conceded too much to the well-organised oppo.
Sounds like we gave Bamford far too much space and time.

[Exeter 77]

McGinn and Barkley not at it tonight at all.

Disappointing considering we had extra 24 hours compared to Leeds for this game.

Can see team being freshened up next weekend, starts for Nakamba and Traore I think.

Or Hourihane and Traore

I’m sick of hearing about fucking Bielsa. You would think he could turn lead into gold the way some/ most pundits go on about him. And he looks a tit sitting on that fucking toadstool.

It had to be Leeds. Why did it have to be Leeds? And with a Bamford hattrick, just why?

Quite.
The R5L people are wanking over the performance

To be fair, they’ve been excellent tonight

I think he will give this team a chance to redeem itself. The only change maybe Barkley due to the injury he’s been carrying.

To be honest - look how good they’ve been. That’s all him.

He is good though

I get that but we saw in the MON years the folly of playing the same 11 constantly. Certainly with the way our midfield has just been walked through Nakamba will feel he deserves a chance next weekend which I'd give him and I don't rate him that highly.

Me too. I always feel that he speaks perfect English but doesn't let on.

5 minutes added time. It's the game that keeps on giving.

[SoccerHQ]

Some sobering stats:

Leeds 8 shots on target, 18 off.

[Rudy65]

Yep, the media wankfest will be almost as unbearable as the game

In fairness they have destroyed us in the same way we did to Liverpool

[frank black]

That was just terrible in the second half....awful

[Exeter 77]

Not sure about Luiz and Nakamba in the same midfield.

Yep let’s be honest it’s a shocking night from the team and Dean.
