Our run-in isn't too bad, aside from Arsenal.

Make it right, get some points.

Fuck this one, onto the next.

Would love Bielsa in charge of Villa.

Crap performance and got what we deserved. Take it on board, look at the fuck ups again, and onto the next match.

Leeds were good. Their shape and work rate made us look leggy and out of ideas by the end.

I would have put Nakamba on for Trez after 60 but it’s easy with hindsight.

In and amongst some utter Leeds wankfest commentary Savage made a good point about us possibly having one too many attack minded players against a team with that level of work rate.

Cash and Konsa were good. Mings lost the plot a bit. Grealish, one magic run aside, had his worst game for a while. McGinn looked slightly off the pace, and I’m still not totally convinced by Watkins.

But one bad game doesn’t ruin our start, I think leeds are a as good side.

We didn't come out second half, didn't compete, they wanted it more and played fearlessly and hard, problem we have now is and more importantly, will other sides looking at this say '' oh yes, that's the Villa we know''. or do we respond.

We got schooled tonight. I had a feeling they'd beat us but not like that. Only positive is it could have been a cricket score.

We go again.

That reminded me of the 0-3 home defeat to Wimbledon all those years ago.

In form, looking good, and then bosh!

Oh and as I said on the match thread anyone who posts something suggesting a player is rubbish just before they play Villa should face a temporary ban!

Everyone who knows anything about football at the top level these days knows that the best teams attack in patterns that owe a fuck of a lot to Bielsa. Tonight we saw a Bielsa team doing just that, and it paying off despite relatively modest resources (Bamford a star? No Kalvin Phillips?), while their more expensive opponents ran around like a bunch of strangers, reliant on individuals to do the unexpected rather than working together to produce it.

Sometimes you just have to accept you've been beaten by a better team on the night. Disappointing performances from some of our higher profile players - McGinn, Barkley, Mings - especially the former whose backside was really 'found out'!

Crouch just said the fullbacks were hung out to dry, which is true.

This was going to happen at some point and maybe we can learn from it. What matters is how we respond against Southampton.

Sad to see no reaction from us after they scored. All we did was throw Traore on and hope for the best.
